BYD Reveals Third-Gen Tang EV With 690 HP and Dual Large Displays
The new 5-seat flagship SUV features a 35.4-inch integrated display and charges from 10% to 70% in five minutes.
BYD has revealed the third-generation Tang EV, a flagship five-seat electric SUV featuring a dual-motor powertrain with 690 horsepower and an interior dominated by two massive screens.
What Happened
The new Tang was disclosed in a regulatory filing with China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), signaling its readiness for launch later this year. The vehicle measures 5,045 mm long, 1,980 mm wide, and 1,740 mm tall, with a wheelbase of 2,950 mm—145 mm longer than the previous generation. Unlike the outgoing model, which offered five- and six-seat configurations, the third-generation Tang will be exclusively a five-seater.
Under the hood, the SUV utilizes a dual-motor, all-wheel-drive system. The front electric motor produces 288 horsepower (215 kW), while the rear motor delivers 402 horsepower (300 kW), resulting in a combined output of 690 horsepower (515 kW). Power is stored in a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery supplied by BYD’s Wuwei Fudi Battery Co. The filing indicates two battery pack options: 88.682 kWh and 105.792 kWh, offering CLTC ranges between 730 km (453 miles) and 850 km (528 miles), depending on the configuration.
Although not detailed in the regulatory filing, the vehicle is expected to feature BYD’s Blade Battery 2.0 and Flash Charging technology, enabling a charge from 10% to 70% in just five minutes. The interior, previewed by BYD Dynasty lineup General Manager Lu Tian, includes a stretched 35.4-inch integrated display and a 30-inch panoramic screen. It also features zero-gravity captain’s chairs in the second row, providing over 1,000 mm of legroom, along with BYD’s DiSus-A intelligent body control system with dual-chamber air suspension and the God’s Eye B advanced driving assistance system.
Why It Matters
The launch of the third-generation Tang represents BYD’s continued expansion of its flagship electric SUV lineup, joining the recently introduced full-size Da Tang. With a starting price for the larger Da Tang set at 239,900 yuan ($35,500), the new five-seat Tang is expected to offer a slightly more affordable alternative in the premium segment. The vehicle’s emphasis on high-horsepower performance, rapid charging capabilities, and advanced interior technology reflects BYD’s strategy to compete in the high-end EV market with feature-rich, performance-oriented models.
The Bottom Line
BYD is expected to launch the third-generation Tang EV by the end of 2026, positioning it as a tech-heavy, high-performance five-seat SUV with significant charging speed advantages and a powerful dual-motor setup.
