The BYD Tang will launch on the Beijing Auto Show in April and it is going to be a beast. The seven-seat SUV has a plug-in hybrid powertrain that will fire it from 0 to 100 in just 4.5 seconds. 
The powertrain consists of a 205 hp 2.0 turbo powering the front wheels and two electric motors at the rear of 150 hp each, good for a combined output of 505 horsepower. The Tang will be able to drive 80 kilometers in pure electric mode.


BYD’s interiors looks clean to the max with some nice detailing like the blue line over the dash and the shiny center tunnel. The Tang comes with a lot of other goodies, including adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, lane departure early warning system, a 360 degree traffic camera system that continuously records when the vehicle is switched on, a PM 2.5 air filter, and 24/7 4G internet.

The camera system is interesting and handy for insurance claims after accidents and such. Many drivers in China equip their cars with after-market systems that record front and rear. 


The BYD Tang seats seven in a 2/2/3 setup. Size is 4870/1940/1720 mm, and wheelbase is 2820 mm.
