China’sElectric Vehicle leader, BYD Company Ltd. has officially announced their muchanticipated Dual Mode Electric SUV, the Tang, will become available forpre-order on January 21, 2015 for the anticipated price of 300,000 RMB (beforeEV incentives). The announcement took place at BYD’s Annual International AutoInnovator Conference in Shenzhen. Demand for the BYD Tang is said to beincredibly high after BYD saw record EV sales in 2014 with the BYD Qin now toppingthe World’s Best Selling EV charts (presently in 5th place in PHEVsales). The BYD Tang is expected to quickly surpass the BYD Qin’s monthly salesfigures as China has waited a long time for a PHEV Sport Utility Vehicle.

The BYD Tang, announced at Auto China 2014 (the Beijing Auto Show), is BYD Auto’s second generation DM 2.0 PHEV vehicle, and first of the much touted BYD 5-4-2 platform models:

5: standing for 0-100km/ h (0-60 mph) in less than 5 seconds
4: standing for 4-wheel drive
2: standing for less than 2 liters average consumed over 100 km (best-in-class fuel economy nearly equal to 147 mpg)

Similar to the BYD Qin, Tang gets its name from the Tang Dynasty, and is known throughout the world as the most prosperous of all the great Chinese Dynasties. Also announced during the innovator’s conference were two more Sport Utility offerings from BYD that will become available for order later in 2015: The “BYD Song”, a mid-size SUV along with the “BYD Yuan”, a compact SUV will both cater to China’s insatiable demand for Sport Utility Vehicles, and when powered by BYD’s industry leading 5-4-2 platform are set to redefine limitations of current PHEVs and SUVs alike.
