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.
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.
