JAKARTA - BYD is preparing to launch the Great Tang on June 17. This three-row electric SUV immediately caught the attention because it is claimed to have a range of up to 950 kilometers and an acceleration of 0-100 km/h in just 3.9 seconds.

According to a report by CarNewsChina quoted on Monday, June 8, the launch information refers to Autohome data. Great Tang has been open for pre-sales since April 24 and has recorded more than 100,000 orders by May 7.

That's a big number, even for BYD's aggressive size. The car is offered in three pre-sale variants at prices ranging from 250,000 yuan to 320,000 yuan.

The Great Tang is positioned above the existing Tang family. The size is not small. It is 5,263 mm long, 1,999 mm wide, 1,790 mm high, and 3,130 mm wheelbase.

The design uses the latest BYD language. The front and rear lights are made to connect from side to side. The BYD emblem lights up. The main lights are arranged vertically and blend in with the front face. On the roof, there is a lidar sensor, a laser-based sensor to help the car read the surrounding environment.

The SUV is also equipped with the God's Eye 5.0 driver assistance system. The system supports driving assistance features on city roads and highways.

In the cabin, the Great Tang uses a seven-seat 2+2+3 configuration. The dashboard combines wood motif trim, digital instrument panels, a large center touchscreen, and a head-up display, which is a display of driving information projected into the driver's field of view.

The center console is equipped with a wireless charger and a physical button. Rear passengers get an entertainment screen. A built-in refrigerator is also available. This is clearly a family SUV, but with power that is not joking.

The initial variant with rear-wheel drive uses a 105.79 kWh battery and produces 300 kW of power. The driving range is claimed to be 800 km.

The rear-wheel-drive long-distance variant uses a 130.15 kWh battery and 370 kW of power. BYD claims a range of 950 km based on the CLTC standard (China Light-Duty Vehicle Test Cycle), an electric vehicle range testing method used in China.

The highest variant with all-wheel drive uses a 130.15 kWh battery with two electric motors with a total power of 585 kW. BYD claims an acceleration of 0-100 km/h can be achieved in 3.9 seconds.

Great Tang also carries BYD Flash Charging technology, DiSus-A smart air suspension, two-chamber air springs, and the ability to read the condition of the road ahead. This system can adjust the height of the vehicle and the damping of the suspension according to road conditions.

CarNewsChina reported that the launch schedule for the Great Tang had been delayed due to high demand putting pressure on the supply of Blade Battery 2.0.

This model comes when the Tang family is still sold in China. Based on China EV DataTracker, Tang sales reached 1,829 units in April, while Tang L recorded 791 units in the same month.

When deliveries begin, the Great Tang will be the largest model and the longest-distance model in the Tang family.
