About the BYD Tang
The second-generation BYD Tang EV debuted in 2018, marking a significant leap in design and technology for the Chinese automaker. Styled under the direction of Wolfgang Egger, it features the 'Dragon Face' design language and a minimalist, tech-focused interior with a signature rotating touchscreen. The EV variant utilizes a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system that delivers supercar-rivalling acceleration for a seven-seat SUV. While initially launched with NMC batteries, later updates introduced BYD's robust Blade Battery technology, enhancing safety and thermal stability.
