● New car features:
New design, the fuel version is different from the plug-in hybrid version.
The design of BYD’s new generation of Tang is eye-catching. The original design completely gets rid of the appearance of the previous generation of Tang /S7 models. The front face of Dragon Face has high recognition, and the domineering net matches the sharp headlights on both sides, which makes people unforgettable. This design technique has been applied in the world, and the next new generation of Qin and other models will adopt this shape.
The front faces of the fuel version and DM version are also different. Mainly reflected in the details of the main grille, the shape of ventilation holes on both sides of the front enclosure and the design of the front lip, etc., the radar module installation position of ACC is also different.
The side design of the new generation of Tang is also more coordinated. The DM model also adopts the popular suspended roof, while the fuel version adopts the traditional design, which also reflects the more sporty and fashionable side of the DM version. This difference is also reflected in more details, such as DM models will also provide more personalized 22-inch wheels and Brembo brake calipers.
Coming to the tail, the penetrating taillight is also the "business card" of a new generation of products. Although this is not a novel design, the new generation of Tang highlights more three-dimensional sense through double-layer lines, and the meaning of BYD is marked below the taillight: Build Your Dreams. Of course, Tang DM also marked the performance logo of 4.5s on the tailgate, which is also the tradition of BYD’s new energy vehicles.
As for the size, the length, width and height of this car are 4870/1940(DM version 1950)/1720(DM version 1725)mm respectively, which is 2820mm, which is a standard one and has a certain improvement compared with the previous generation products. At the same time, compared with the mainstream medium-sized ones such as,, and GS8, we can see that everyone has their own advantages. According to BYD’s official announcement, the new generation of Tang is based on BLP large luxury car-making platform.
The interior relies on a large screen to attract attention.
The interior of the new generation of Tang also adopts a brand-new design. The most striking thing is the 12.8-inch LCD screen equipped in the central control part. For the two highest models of Tang DM, the size of the screen will be upgraded to 14.6 inches. This screen also supports angular rotation, but the vertical screen status will have a certain impact on the line of sight. In addition to this screen, the car also uses a 12.3-inch full LCD dashboard, which can display all kinds of information needed for driving.
In the shift lever, the traditional physical buttons are concentrated, the number is small and the layout is clear. Judging from the Tang DM model in the picture, this car provides a variety of road conditions to choose from. In addition, this car is also equipped with mainstream technology AIDS such as lane departure and lane change assistance.
Seven-seat layout, with good practicality.
When the new generation currently provides seven-seat layout, in our experience, after the experiencer with a height of 175cm adjusts the seat to the lowest in the front row, the head space is about four fingers. In the second row, the head space of the same experiencer is still three fingers, and the leg space is more than two punches (the second row of seats is adjusted to the end). It is worth mentioning that the floor in the middle is also very flat. After entering the third row, if you want to get a relatively comfortable ride experience, you need to move the second row seat forward. On the whole, the 175cm experiencer is ok in the third row, and it will be a little cramped if it is higher.
2.0T+6AT/2.0T plug-in hybrid +6-speed dual clutch
In the power system, the fuel version is still equipped with a 2.0T engine, which has a maximum horsepower of 205 HP and a peak value of 320 Nm, and the transmission system is partially matched with 6 speeds; Tang DM is equipped with a 2.0T plug-in hybrid system, which matches the 6-speed wet type. In this hybrid system, the maximum power of the front-axle motor is 149 HP, and the peak torque is 250 Nm. The maximum power of the rear-axle motor is 245 HP, and the peak torque is 380 Nm. The comprehensive maximum power of the system exceeds 500 HP, and the acceleration time of the fastest version is 4.3 seconds. In addition, the new generation of Tang DM provides five power modes, including EV, engine drive, energy recovery, HEV parallel drive and HEV series drive.
In terms of battery configuration, Tang DM provides 80 and 100 configurations, of which Tang DM 80 has a total power of 20kWh and a pure battery life of 80 kilometers; The total energy of the power battery of the DM 100 model of Tang Dynasty is 24kWh, and the cruising range of pure electricity is 100 kilometers. In terms of charging time, both of them can be fully charged in 4-5 hours. The warranty policy is the same as that of the current Tang. The warranty period of non-operating vehicles is 6 years or 150,000 kilometers, the warranty period of core parts is 8 years or 150,000 kilometers, and the power battery core is guaranteed for life.
● Driving experience
Tang fuel edition
In the test drive of Tang fuel version, the test drive editor thinks that the adjustment of the throttle of this car is more conservative, and it is only "appropriate" in the case of S gear. The 6-speed automatic gearbox also brings this car a good ride comfort experience, and there is nothing wrong with the family car. As for the chassis, because it was adjusted by Mr. Hans, a former engineer, the overall feeling is quite german. After passing through the manhole cover or the speed bump, the vibration in the car is not great, and it feels very soft, comfortable and not annoying at all. This kind of feeling, more than 200 thousand cars are not necessarily available. In terms of steering system, although the road feeling is not too much, the steering is more accurate. The steering force can be set in the system, and there are two modes, comfort and movement, which are relatively heavy as a whole.
Tang DM
In the test drive of Tang DM, this car brought more fun to the editor. Liang Haiwen, the editor of the test drive, wrote, "Although this car has the highest torque of 950 Nm, you don’t have to worry about being difficult to control. In fact, in daily driving, its power output is very regular and well controlled. At the same time, BSG motor has significantly improved the smoothness of the new Tang DM in power switching."
When you step on the accelerator deeply, you can feel that the hidden strength of Tang DM is gradually released. The strong acceleration force can let people know clearly that this car has the acceleration ability of the same level. Moreover, because the dual motors work together with the engine, even when the speed reaches more than 100km/h, there is still a strong power to output continuously, which is different from the acceleration ability of ordinary electric or hybrid vehicles, which will be obviously attenuated with the higher speed. This car has always given people a feeling of stamina.
We test drive the brand-new version of Tang DM 80. According to the official data, we can drive 80 kilometers with pure electricity, which is enough to meet the needs of daily commuting. In EV mode, it is equivalent to driving an electric car, which is quiet, smooth and has a good dynamic response. The change of vehicle speed keeps good synchronization with the accelerator pedal, and the control feeling is actually more handy than that in hybrid mode.
● Model history
『』
Speaking of Tang’s past, we should first mention BYD S6, the first SUV that BYD put on the market in September 2010. As many people know, this car has borrowed from the exterior design, and with the lowest price of less than 90 thousand, this car has won the favor of many consumers and has become the best-selling SUV model in China for a period of time.
『』
With the continuous development of the domestic SUV market, more and more China brands put heavy models in the SUV market. In contrast, S6 products with strong "RX flavor" will be weaker. In 2014, on the basis of S6, BYD launched the BYD S7 by updating the design, increasing the configuration, increasing the body and changing the power of 2.0T, further enhancing its competitiveness in the SUV market.
"the first generation of Tang"
In June 2015, BYD brought its hybrid model, Tang, for the first time. You can think that this car is a product developed on the basis of BYD S7. This car is the first China brand electric four-wheel drive model to be listed. It is also from this car that BYD’s "542" has been deeply rooted in people’s hearts, that is, the acceleration time of the vehicle from 0-100km/h is less than 5s, equipped with a four-wheel drive system, and the fuel consumption per 100 km is less than 2L, which can be said to be a leading concept at that time.
It was from S6 to S7 and then to the first generation of Tang that made the brand-new generation of Tang that we see today. This process can be said to be a process from imitation to improvement to innovation and creation, and it is also a microcosm of the rapid development of China brand in the past decade.
● Competing models
『VV7』
『GS8』
『』
For the fuel version of Tang, the most direct competitors in the medium-sized SUV market should be from cars and GS8. For Tang DM, the Great Wall P8 will meet with it. Compared with competing models, the product freshness of the new generation of Tang is still very high. Both the appearance and interior design can attract the attention of consumers who are ready to buy a car, and its high intelligent technology configuration is also a killer. For Tang DM, BYD’s technical accumulation in the field of new energy is its main endorsement, and the relatively mature hybrid system will also attract a lot of attention.
● Full text summary
BYD’s counterattack has actually started from Song MAX, and a new generation of products will launch an impact on the market with its personalized design, in-place configuration and mature power system. The second generation Tang, as the flagship model of BYD dynasty series, bears a heavy responsibility, but it is really excellent in terms of product strength. Now that its price has come, what do you think of its cost performance? (Text/car home Chen Hao)
