It has a pure electric cruising range of 215 kilometers.
In terms of appearance, the BYD Tang DM-p
adopts the firm’s latest family-style design language, with a somewhat imposing
look. In the front, the new car adopts a large air intake grille, and the
interior of the grille has a dot matrix scale shape, which is highly
recognizable, with sharp headlight sets on both sides. In addition, it adds
chrome-plated decorative strips to the grille frame and front part.
The interior design of the BYD Tang DM-p
is relatively simple, and a double-combination color design has been adopted,
which has great texture as a whole. The new model is equipped with an LCD
dashboard and a large suspended central control panel – full of scientific and
technological sense – with a twin spoke multifunctional steering wheel. The BYD
Tang DM-p adopts a six-seat layout, and the second row is equipped with
electrically-adjusted independent seats to further enhance comfort.
