August 16, BYD Tang 2021 models officially listed, the new car power system for the fuel version, DM version, EV version, of which the fuel models *** launched 1, priced at 165,800 yuan; DM version of the launch of 3 models, after subsidies priced at 236,800-286,800 yuan; EV version *** pushed 2 models, subsidized price of 27.95-314,800 yuan. 314,800 yuan. The new car is a mid-term revision, with details optimized on the exterior, the interior redesigned, and the configuration improved over the current model. The Tang EV version will be fitted with BYD's latest Blade battery, and deliveries are expected to begin in the fourth quarter.

The price was released, triggering a heated discussion among car enthusiasts, with each side arguing its own point of view; some said: BYD inflated, before the fuel version as long as 129,900 yuan can be reached, and now after the facelift changed a little bit of the interior, the price came to 165,800 yuan, 165,800 yuan, who still go to buy a domestic car. The other side of the counter-argument: the new model added merge assist, lane keeping, Bluetooth key and many other comfort features, how can not sell 165,800 yuan?

Back to the price itself, I do not know whether the future will be launched more volume of low-specification vehicles, but for the time being, the fuel version of the price of 165,800 yuan is not low, the DM version and the EV version of the price overlap with many joint venture medium-sized SUVs. Consumers concerned about the Tang will inevitably be hesitant, with these questions to see whether the extra money is worth it?

Is it beautiful?

Buying a car is just like going on a blind date; those who see eye-to-eye immediately hit it off; those who don't feel it on either side will back off. Successful design is to follow the trend of the times, in order to be accepted by the public, rather than like the French car as new and different, and ultimately to failure.

The 2021 Tang in appearance, continue to follow the family-style "Dragon?Face" family design, clever combination of Chinese and Western aesthetics, the front face with a large area of the grille, through the chrome trim will be the left and right sides of the LED headlamps connected to the fang-style smoked wind guide groove to increase the aggressiveness of the whole. While the front face maintains the high value of the previous generation, it is more diversified through the repair of details.

The side dual waistline design divides the body into different visual centers of gravity, the upper smoked D-pillar design creates a stronger floating roof design, and the lower dual-five-spoke 22-inch smoked wheels form a perfect 50:50 ratio with the body, making the side streamline aesthetic and a sense of power.

The rear penetrating taillights are fully recognizable when lit, and the bottom position of the indicator light adopts smoked black design, which corresponds to the design of the front air guide slot, and the tail line, which is staggered, can make the rear sense of hierarchy more prominent. The high-profile 4.3S acceleration achievement declares itself to be the "king" on the road.

Interior upgraded

Like the BYD Han, the interior adopts the latest Dynasty series design style. The interior has been criticized for a long time to get a change, the new design of the two-spoke steering wheel, the sense of luxury has been improved; the instrument theme style has been updated, the interface changes in a variety of changes; the middle of the 15.6-inch screen bezel is further narrowed, the screen-to-body ratio is improved; below the electronic gear knob area to a large area of black piano baking varnish, the high-level atmosphere is improved; the instrument panel, the two sides of the door plate and other places to add suede material, the interior class The sense of class in the interior has been further jumped.

Is smart technology good?

The "minimalist interior" trend started by Tesla has been emulated by other car companies, and to be honest, I'm still a key "conservative" who has reservations about an interior with a big screen in the middle of nothing. But after experiencing BYD Tang's latest Dlink system, I feel like I'm going to "defect". 360-degree full-range microphone monitoring, only need to open the mouth, you can control multimedia navigation, window lifting, and air conditioning adjustment and other in-vehicle configurations. The up and down rotating large screen, can be like a cell phone, install a variety of APP, in the leisure time, but also brush a few small video, see usually have no time to watch the TV series.Dlink can also through AI, big data analysis and user observation, predict the user commands, to do a truly intelligent AI housekeeper.

How much space?

The BYD Tang is equipped with 5+2 seats across the board, and like many midsize SUVs, the last row only serves as an emergency. Two adults won't complain in a short ride. Most of the time in daily use, the third row of seats will be folded down to get a huge trunk space. Thanks to the long wheelbase body, rear space can be described as excellent, with a huge amount of leg and headroom for passengers of any size. The second-row floor is flat, so even if the rear row is full of three people at the same time, the middle passenger can also be treated as a "human right". In terms of storage space, in addition to the electronic gear knob area for the sake of the button, the rest of the door slots, the center armrest box, glove box, the depth of space are not a problem. Carrying small objects can get a place to place.

How about the mechanical qualities?

The 2021 Tang Fuel is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 141Kw and a maximum torque of 320Nm, mated to a 6-speed manual transmission, this set of power in the city parade across easily, without the feeling of bulky like a big car, the throttle initial response is fast but not forward, and in the traffic light jogging appears to be calm and relaxed. The same logic as other family AT gearbox shift, did not deliberately pursue speed, to smoothness as the focus, only in the rapid acceleration or hard braking, you will feel a small breakthrough, but will not make people feel annoyed.

The DM version is powered by a 2.0T turbocharged engine + electric motor, with a combined maximum power of 321Kw, matched with a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission and an intelligent electric four-wheel drive system, and the driving strategy is based on the order of energy consumption of "electricity first and then oil", which is able to achieve 4.3 seconds acceleration in the hybrid mode with sufficient power. In hybrid mode with sufficient power, the car can accelerate in 4.3 seconds. But when the battery is low, the power will be reduced, and the engine will also charge the battery. But it's fine for everyday use. All in all, it's a pretty good experience if you think of it as a hybrid like the Japanese brands.

The EV version will use the latest Blade battery, with the material switched from lithium ternary to lithium iron phosphate. Reducing the risk of spontaneous combustion, but the winter range will be slightly discounted compared to lithium ternary batteries.

The BYD Tang has a wide range of model series and price coverage for independent brands, joint venture brands, and even luxury brands. It is beautiful, sophisticated and full of technology, and will be the last one's shortcomings are checked and filled. Comprehensive quality to a higher level, as to whether it is worth buying, not anxious friends can wait for the appropriate concessions.
