BYD Tang Launches Plug-in Hybrid SUV in China, two promises more SUV plug-in for later this year.
self-confessed geek and mother of two, Nikki has spoken and written on cars since she passed her driving test at that time, its Internet contributions were focused on classic automotive Now it is all about greener, cleaner, safer and smarter cars.
specialist in Chinese battery and carmaker BYD has officially announced its latest vehicle today plug-in, a plug-in hybrid full-size SUV that hopes to join its hybrid sedan plugin Qin atop the Chinese electric vehicle charts shortly.
Enter the BYD Tang, a plug-in hybrid crossover SUV that BYD says will sell for 300,000 Chinese Yuan 48306 U S before incentives.
According to his brief official release, Tang BYD is built on the second generation MD 2 0 plug-in hybrid platform BYD, and offers a claimed 0-62 mph time less than 5 seconds, all the driving wheels, and a set fuel economy of less than 2 liters of fuel for 100 km 147 MPG.
The result in traces of electric urban crossover e6 BYD tires and BYD Qin, a plug-in hybrid sedan with a 1 5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine with four cylinders, a gearbox DCT six-speed, 13 kilowatt hour LiFe battery pack and an electric motor 111 kilowatts.
While our own experiences with the heavy, answers BYD e6 EV is not something we're want to repeat in the near future, the e6 is now used in several countries in taxi fleets, but is not available to private purchase.
The BYD Qin other hand is, and given the attention lavished BYD it seems to attract some fans in his native China Despite a promising European launch this year but we have yet to see it in the flesh.
Back to Tang Dynasty with a larger 2 0 liter turbocharged four-cylinder 205 horsepower and the same electric motor of 111 kilowatts found in the Qin, Tang Dynasty should at least promise a 0-62 time fast.
The BYD Qin was plug-in hybrid the most successful BYD to date.
As BYD Qin plug-in hybrid, the BYD Tang named after a famous Chinese dynasty, namely the Tang Dynasty 618 907 AD In power for nearly three hundred years, the Tang Dynasty saw really amazing technological revolutions for the time, including the world's first watch exhaust movement, wine unit to mechanical service, portable gas bottles bamboo and yes, even the rudimentary air conditioning.
But while BYD wants to boast the economy Tang fuel performance figures and the name of historical inspiration, there is one thing that will stop perhaps the Tang BYD in its tracks outside China its appearance.
You see, the Tang Dynasty BYD is based crossover SUV BYD S7, which is in turn based on his earlier cross BYD S6 SUV far, so But like many other Chinese automakers, BYD often built cars that are almost clones of well known copy of carbon, non-Chinese cars, and BYD Tang is no exception.
It is essentially an all-electric Chinese clone of the Lexus RX SUV crossover While many automakers have tired and failed to ban Chinese manufacturers to sell cloned versions of their cars in the world, we're guessing this particular reproduction would be a time particularly difficult to try to enter the European and American markets.
While we d like to believe Tang BYD has a bright future outside of China, our past experiences with BYD products leave us skeptical, and without solid range of numbers or battery pack specifications go, we're just in the cold.
Later this year BYD says it plans to launch two hybrid sports utility vehicles more plug-in for the Chinese market, taking advantage of generous incentives for plug-in to help lead the revolution plugin if needed in China BYD tho said two cars BYD song, a midsize SUV; Yuan and BYD, a compact SUV, will meet the insatiable Chinese demand for sport utility vehicles, and redefine the limits of current PHEV and SUVs as well.
We will watch with interest to see if this happens.
