New photos of the interior of the new BYD Tang
hybrid super SUV, showing the amazing touch screen that has a neat little party
trick. It can turn 90 degrees from landscape to portrait and back.
The Tang comes with a lot of other goodies,
including: a fully digital instrument panel, 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 plug-in hybrid powertrain is almost as
impressive as the screen: a 205 hp 2.0 turbo powering the front wheels, and two
electric motors at the rear with 150 hp each, good for a combined output of 505
horsepower. The Tang will be able to drive 80 kilometers in pure electric mode.
0 to 100 km/his gone in just 4.5 seconds.
The new BYD Tang will have its public debut on the
2018 Beijing Auto Show and will hit the Chinese car market in June. The ultra
clean center tunnel with the start button, electronic parking brake,
hill-descent control, EV mode, and HEV mode.
The
BYD Tang is a large seven-seat car with 4870/1940/1720 mm, wheelbase is 2820 mm.
