On the first day of the Chengdu International Auto Show, BYD's third-generation Tang became the center of attention! This 8-series large five-seat SUV adopts an all-new technological aesthetics, with a total of 30 class-leading features and configurations, an industry-first interstellar dual-screen, a range of up to 850 kilometers, equipped with the Yunian-A dual-chamber air suspension, intelligent four-wheel drive, God's Eye B, and the strongest second row in its class! This large five-seat king, with flagship-level strength, satisfies users' four major demands: handsome enough looks, solid enough space, top-tier enough smart cabin, and爽 enough driving.
Handsome enough looks, the industry's most highly integrated one-piece through-type headlight, redefining flagship aesthetics
Nowadays, the biggest fear when buying a car is that it will go out of style. What you chase today as trendy, you'll be tired of tomorrow. The third-generation Tang uses future-oriented technological aesthetics to offer a new solution. The whole vehicle has clean lines, and the slightly sloping roofline injects a fashionable and sporty vibe into this SUV over 5 meters long.
The crowning touch of the whole vehicle is the highly integrated one-piece through-type front headlight, which packs high and low beams, a starry flowing effect, and a three-dimensional dragon-whisker shape all into a single light strip. It is currently the longest and most highly integrated in the entire industry, bar none. This light is not only cool, but also futuristic enough to be recognized at a glance in traffic. This is the flagship aesthetics of the third-generation Tang: not blindly chasing trends, being a friend of time, and facing the future.
Solid enough space, invincible rear row with over 1000mm of legroom + 130° recline angle, setting the spacious luxury benchmark for large five-seat flagships
The third-generation Tang is a standard large SUV, with body dimensions of 5045×1980×1740mm and a wheelbase of 2950mm, so the space is absolutely solid. In particular, the second-row legroom reaches a class-leading 1000+mm, enough for a 2-meter-tall basketball player to comfortably cross his legs in the back row. At present, the second-row legroom of mainstream large SUVs is generally 850–900mm. To make the second row more spacious, the third-generation Tang put great effort into the chassis layout, maximizing the space advantages of a large five-seat SUV.
Even more impressive is that the second-row seatback recline angle reaches 130°, 10° more than an airplane business class. On long trips, family members in the back can rest in a semi-reclined position, children won't wake up with crooked necks if they fall asleep, and elderly passengers can rest comfortably all the way. For many three-person and four-person families, a large five-seat SUV is the balance point of space, quality, and comfort, better catering to everyone's needs.
Top-tier enough smart cabin, 35.4-inch integrated far-end star ring screen + 30-inch panoramic giant screen, bringing a spaceship cockpit and IMAX into the car
The interior of the third-generation Tang is another shock altogether. The futuristic feel of the "interstellar dual-screen" hits you immediately, as if you were sitting in the spaceship cockpit of a sci-fi movie. Above is a 35.4-inch integrated far-end star ring screen, replacing the traditional instrument cluster + HUD. It can display information such as vehicle speed, navigation, battery level, and road conditions, and the modules can also be customized, offering both a sense of technology and a full sense of control.
Below is a full 30-inch panoramic giant screen. The entire large screen is integrally formed with no seams, and the visual effect far exceeds the pieced-together dual screens and triple screens on the market. Lying in the seat watching a movie, the immersion is comparable to an IMAX cinema, and when you want to sing karaoke, switch to full-screen mode, and the atmosphere is even more thrilling than a KTV.
Thrilling enough to drive, Yunian-A dual-chamber air suspension + intelligent four-wheel drive, an all-rounder for both city and wild
Many people think city SUVs can't go outdoors and show their weakness as soon as they hit a rough road, but the Tang IP had the three words "can run, can climb, can get out of trouble" engraved into its genes from the very beginning, and now the third-generation Tang has evolved once again.
The Yunian-A dual-chamber air suspension and the same front double-wishbone + rear five-link independent suspension as million-yuan luxury cars form this flagship combination, delivering hard power that can handle both the city and the mountains. On potholed rough roads, raising the body greatly improves passability. The intelligent four-wheel drive provides a full sense of safety. When encountering rain, snow, slippery surfaces, or steep gravel slopes, it automatically judges road conditions and distributes power, greatly improving grip and avoiding skidding or tail sliding that could affect safety.
30 class-leading features, 850km range + flash charging + God's Eye B, solving the three things users worry about most
Range and recharging are hard requirements for everyone's travel. The third-generation Tang has a class-leading 850km pure electric range, so long cross-province trips require no midway recharging at all. As a flagship model, the third-generation Tang is equipped with BYD's unique skills, the second-generation blade battery and flash charging technology. At normal temperature, it charges to 70% in 5 minutes and to 97% in 9 minutes, and in extremely cold environments it takes only 3 minutes more. Such astonishing ultra-long range and charging speed mean that for users who love traveling or commuting between cities, anywhere a gasoline car can reach, it can travel smoothly, and at a lower cost.
In terms of assisted driving, the third-generation Tang also provides the God's Eye B assisted driving laser version. It can calmly follow traffic during morning and evening rush-hour congestion, navigate precisely on highways, and easily park even in narrow spaces, making it quite friendly to novice drivers and commuters alike. It also has dual safeguards with urban navigation and intelligent parking, basically covering all the pain points of daily car use, making driving easier and safer.
It is worth mentioning that the third-generation Tang has a total of 30 class-leading features throughout the vehicle, jointly creating its kingly strength. In the words of Manager Lu of the Dynasty Network at the scene: handsome looks! Solid space! Top-tier smart cabin! Thrilling to drive! These are the standards of a large five-seat flagship SUV.
Expected to launch in the fourth quarter, the ace is far more than this
With the debut of the third-generation Tang, the Tang family's dual-flagship structure is officially settled: the Grand Tang is a seven-seat full-size SUV, serving large multi-member families while also accommodating business use; the third-generation Tang is a large five-seat technological flagship SUV, serving the quality daily life of upwardly mobile urban families. The two cars serve different scenarios but share the same set of flagship standards.
According to on-site disclosures, the third-generation Tang is expected to launch in the fourth quarter. From 2015, when the first-generation Tang broke through with the "542" strategy and 4.9-second acceleration, to the second generation, which became a sales champion with dragon-face aesthetics, DM-i, and blade batteries, every generation of Tang has brought a new technology that a generation remembers. And for this generation, Manager Lu of the Dynasty Network left a suspense on site: there is a technology disruptive enough, and it will be shared slowly later.
It seems BYD still hasn't played all its aces. Viewing national skills and galloping across the world's pioneering domains, based on current information, the third-generation Tang has already raised the standard for large SUVs to a new height, and that deliberately hidden technology—just how disruptive is it? And what kind of transformation will it bring? One cannot help but look forward to it even more.
