BYD unveiled its third-generation Tang electric sport utility vehicle at the Chengdu Auto Show on Friday, targeting a commercial release in the fourth quarter. The redesigned five-seat model offers an all-electric range of up to 850 kilometres and charges from 10 to 70 per cent in five minutes.
Dynasty sales chief Lu Tian presented the vehicle on the opening day of the exhibition. The launch forms the second half of BYD’s dual-flagship Dynasty SUV strategy alongside the larger Da Tang, which reached showrooms in June.
Battery specs and charging speeds
The new Tang measures 5,045 mm in length, 1,980 mm in width, and 1,760 mm in height, with a 2,950 mm wheelbase. Power comes from BYD’s second-generation Blade Battery pack, supplied in capacities of 88.682 kWh and 105.792 kWh. These packs deliver CLTC ranges of 730 km, 830 km, and 850 km depending on trim.
Under normal temperatures, the vehicle reaches a 97 per cent charge within nine minutes. Cold-weather conditions add roughly three minutes to that benchmark. Regulatory filings show a single electric motor variant producing 300 kW, equivalent to 402 horsepower, with a top speed capped at 250 km/h.
Every variant includes the God’s Eye B driver-assistance suite, which relies on a single LiDAR unit to manage highway and urban navigation alongside automated parking. The chassis rides on the DiSus-A dual-chamber air suspension system, incorporating an active road-preview function that scans surface conditions ahead.
Rebuilding Dynasty flagship sales
The overhaul arrives after an extended sales slump for the Tang nameplate. Volume fell sharply through the first half of 2026 in the absence of major product updates, lingering below 7,200 units monthly from March through May before rebounding to 13,535 deliveries in July.
BYD tested this premium positioning when it launched the full-size Da Tang EV in June at 239,900 yuan ($35,370). That larger 9-series model logged more than 10,000 customer deliveries in its first month. Alongside the Tang debut, BYD opened pre-sales in Chengdu for its Da Han flagship sedan at roughly $36,800, claiming an electric range of 1,008 kilometres.
Pricing for the third-generation Tang remains unannounced ahead of official showroom deliveries scheduled before the end of the year.
