Recently, the new BYD Tang DM-i was revealed in the latest batch of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's new vehicle declaration catalog. According to previous reports, this model will feature BYD’s fifth-generation DM hybrid technology and may also have an upgraded rear suspension. As a reference, the current BYD Tang DM-i Glory Edition is priced between 179.800 to 219.800 Yuan.
According to the declaration information, the new BYD Tang DM-i will continue the overall exterior design of the current model, with the front end adopting the "Dragon Face" design philosophy and equipped with a hexagonal grille. At the rear, it features a "Chinese knot" style through-type taillight set and continues to use the "BUILD YOUR DREAMS" logo.
In terms of dimensions, the new Tang DM-i measures 4.870 mm in length, 1.950 mm in width, and 1.725 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2.820 mm, which is consistent with the current Tang DM-i Glory Edition. Based on previously exposed spy shots of the new Tang DM-i, the model will introduce a new "Weiyang Grey" paint option, the same as the 2025 Han, and will offer an optional blacked-out package.
In terms of power, the new Tang DM-i will adopt BYD’s fifth-generation DM hybrid technology, powered by a system consisting of a 1.5T engine and an electric motor. The 1.5T engine has a maximum output of 115 kW, while the electric motor provides a maximum output of 200 kW. Compared to the current Tang DM-i Glory Edition, the engine’s output has increased by 13 kW, and the electric motor’s output has increased by 40 kW. Based on the 2025 Han DM-i, the new Tang DM-i is also expected to come with an 18.316 kWh battery pack.
From the perspective of mid-sized new energy SUVs, the current BYD Tang DM family recorded 11.188 units sold in August, ranking just behind the Song L DM-i, which also belongs to BYD’s Dynasty series, in the plug-in hybrid segment. With this facelift, whether the new BYD Tang DM-i can deliver better energy efficiency, configurations, and other improvements will undoubtedly influence its sales performance.
