On April 24, 2026, at the Shunyi Hall of the Beijing Auto Show, the center of BYDEgypt BYDUAE BYDKSA BYDOman BYDBahrain BYDQatar BYDKuwait BYD‘s booth belongs to a large 7-seat SUV measuring over 5.3 meters in length with a 3,130mm wheelbase – the BYD “Tang.” It is the highest-positioned and most technology-dense flagship in BYD’s Dynasty series, and the company‘s ace in its head-on assault on traditional luxury brands.
The Tang is available in pure electric and plug-in hybrid versions. The EV version features the second-generation Blade Battery and a full-domain 1000V high-voltage architecture – the core of BYD’s Super e-Platform. With a maximum charging power of 1 megawatt, 1000A peak current, and a 10C charging rate, official figures show that 5 minutes of charging adds 400 km of range, bringing EV charging efficiency to the same level as gasoline refueling. Crucially, this 1000V architecture is not lab-only – BYD has committed to building 20,000 flash charging stations by end of 2026, achieving 3km coverage in first- and second-tier cities. The PHEV version uses the fifth-generation DM super hybrid system, with a dedicated Xiaoyun engine exceeding 46.5% thermal efficiency, fuel consumption as low as 2.4L/100km, and a combined range exceeding 2,000 km.
On the chassis and intelligence front, the Tang comes standard with Yunlin-A intelligent air suspension, actively adjusting stiffness and height based on road conditions and driving modes. For ADAS, a roof-mounted LiDAR works with the God’s Eye high-level system, supporting urban NOA, highway navigation, and automated parking. Inside, the DiLink 6.0 system features a 5G chip and a 15.6-inch rotating screen, with an AI voice assistant supporting four-zone recognition.
Priced at approximately 400,000 yuan, pre-sales begin at the auto show. This positions the Tang directly between the Li Auto L9KSA Li Auto L9UAE Li Auto L9Bahrain Li Auto L9Egypt Li Auto L9Kuwait Li Auto L9Oman Li Auto L9Qatar Li Auto L9, AITOUAE AITOKSA AITOKuwait AITOQatar AITOOman AITOBahrain AITOEgypt AITO M9 and the BMW X5Bahrain BMW X5Egypt BMW X5KSA BMW X5Kuwait BMW X5Oman BMW X5Qatar BMW X5UAE BMW X5, Mercedes GLE. BYD’s intent is clear: use vastly superior intelligent and electric technologies, combined with competitive pricing, to take market share from BBA. The Tang signals that Chinese brands are no longer satisfied with the “value-for-money” label, but are challenging the century-old strongholds of luxury brands with hard-core technology. The 2026 Beijing Auto Show may well be the first trumpet of this battle.
