BYD Cars Philippines has unveiled the all-new BYD Tang DM-i at a launch event held recently at SPACE at One Ayala in Makati. The brand’s largest and longstanding flagship SUV also becomes the newest addition to their DM-i lineup.
The Tang DM-i is powered by a Super DM-i system that combines a turbocharged onboard generator with a 21.5 kWh Blade battery. This configuration delivers a total output of 271 PS and 315 Nm of torque, allowing the vehicle to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.5 seconds. This advanced hybrid system provides a combined driving range of over 1,000 kilometers, with up to 110 kilometers of pure electric driving on a single charge, supporting both daily commutes and long-distance travel.
For charging, the vehicle can go from 15% to 100% in about three hours using AC power, or achieve a 30% to 80% charge in just 22 minutes via DC fast-charging. The inclusion of Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) functionality further enhances its versatility.
Inside, the SUV features a premium cabin with a 15.6-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a 12-speaker Dynaudio sound system, and seamless wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. Safety is a key focus, with the DiPilot system providing a comprehensive suite of driver-assistance technologies, including adaptive cruise control, a 360-degree camera, and automatic emergency braking.
Priced at P2,098,000, the Tang DM-i comes with a robust warranty package, including an 8-year or 160,000-kilometer warranty for the Blade Battery. It is available in three colors: Moonstone Gray, Pearl White, and Silver Sand Black.
