2025 BYD TANG - NEW 7-SEATER EV IN THE MARKET!

EV Channels Review

The updated BYD Tang presents a compelling, albeit imperfect, entry into the large 7-seater EV SUV market, aiming to challenge established players like Tesla. The vehicle boasts strong acceleration and a comfortable ride at moderate speeds, with good noise insulation on the highway. The interior offers a solid build quality with premium materials, a large rotating infotainment screen, and useful features like a head-up display. However, the reviewer notes significant drawbacks, particularly the exclusive use of animal skin for seats, which contradicts sustainability goals. The third-row seating is cramped and impractical for adults, and while the trunk is usable, the lack of a frunk is a missed opportunity. At high speeds, the driving dynamics, steering feel, and suspension responsiveness lag behind competitors like Tesla and German manufacturers, feeling less connected to the road. The reviewer also points out minor annoyances like the indicator sound and the non-intuitive menu structure. Real-world range is estimated at just over 500 km (300 miles) from the 109 kWh battery, which is considered decent for the segment.
