BYD has updated the Tang hybrid super SUV and they have given it a
new name: Tang 100. Biggest new is a larger capacity battery which extends the
pure-electric range from 80 kilometers on the old car to 100 kilometers on the
new car.
The most eye catching news is the replacement of the
BYD badges on the front, back, wheels, and steering wheel with a Tang badge. It
looks ultracool and makes the Tang a little bit more special yet. BYD is
rolling out these type-name badges across the range.
The BYD Tang 100 has three engines, powering all
wheels. It is a dual-mode hybrid, able to drive in pure-electric mode (EV) or
in hybrid-electric mode (HEV).
The three engines refer to a 2.0 liter turbocharged
petrol engine and and two electric motors. The petrol engine and one of the
electric motors are located at the front, the second electric motor is located
at the rear axle. Gearbox is a six-speed DCT.
The output of the 2.0 turbo is 205 hp and 320 nm. The
output of each electric motor is 150 hp and 250 nm. Total output stands at 505 hp
and 820 nm. Just massive. The enormous amount of power is good for a 0-100 km/h in
4.9 seconds.
Price of the Tang 100 starts at 251.300 yuan and
ends at 279.800 yuan, which is exactly the same as the outgoing car.
