BYD is testing the new Tang SUV. It will debut in early 2018, likely on the Beijing
Auto Show in April. Design wise it is largely based on the beautiful Dynasty
concept car, featuring a giant grille and sharply cut lines.
The new Tang will be a super hybrid again, combining
a 2.0 turbo petrol engine with two electric motors, one on each axle. Combined
output will be around than 550 hp and 850 Nm, yup you read that right. The
engine will be mated to a new nine-speed DCT ‘box.
We haven’t seen photos of the interior yet but
sources say it will get a fully digital instrument panel, a Tesla-sized touch
screen for the and a head-up display.
Price for all this pretty will start around US$ 38,000,
making it the cheapest 550 hp family car on the market.
