On October 25. the 2025 BYD Tang DM-i officially launched with a price range of 179.800 to 207.800 RMB. Recently, the vehicle was also launched simultaneously in the Guangzhou region. As a facelifted model, the 2025 BYD Tang DM-i comes with several notable upgrades. Not only has the exterior design been enhanced with new color options, but it also features the fifth-generation DM plug-in hybrid technology, and the chassis has been upgraded with a rear aluminum alloy multi-link independent suspension.
In terms of exterior design, the 2025 Tang DM-i continues to adopt the Dragon Face design language. While the changes are not significant, the newly introduced "Wei Yang Gray" color, along with the optional blacked-out package, still makes the car stand out. In terms of dimensions, the vehicle measures 4870mm in length, 1950mm in width, and 1725mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2820mm. At the rear, the car retains the Chinese knot-style taillight design, which offers both aesthetic appeal and high recognition value.
The interior layout of the 2025 Tang DM-i has not undergone significant changes either. The main setup consists of a 15.6-inch central touchscreen and a 12.3-inch instrument display, offering a good tech feel. The basic configurations, such as front seat ventilation and heating, ambient lighting, and wireless charging, are also present. As for the in-car system, the new model is now equipped with the DiLink 100 smart cockpit system, offering smoother performance and a wider range of functions.
Regarding the seating layout, the vehicle is available in both 5-seat and 7-seat versions. The 5-seat version offers very spacious interior space and good comfort. As for the 7-seat version, the third-row seat space is relatively cramped, but it can still meet emergency use requirements. Consumers can choose according to their needs.
The most significant upgrade in this new model is the powertrain. The vehicle is equipped with BYD's fifth-generation DM plug-in hybrid technology, featuring a 1.5T engine. Both the engine and electric motor have improved power outputs, with a combined maximum power of 310 kW, a top speed of 200 km/h, and an acceleration time of 0-100 km/h in 7.5 seconds. As for the battery, the new model is equipped with a 21.5 kWh battery pack, offering a combined range of 1150 km and a fuel consumption of 4.95 L/100 km when the battery is depleted.
Finally, the chassis. Even the entry-level model of the 2025 Tang DM-i comes equipped with an FSD variable damping suspension system and an aluminum alloy multi-link suspension. In addition, the high-end versions are also equipped with the Yun Nian-C intelligent damping body control system, a feature previously only available on the Tang DM-p and Tang EV models.
As for purchase recommendations, I personally recommend the mid-range version, the "115km Premium" model priced at 187.800 RMB. This model offers good value for money and comes with a wealth of features. Compared to the entry-level model, it adds some active safety and comfort features.
Editor’s Summary:
The 2025 BYD Tang DM-i has seen a solid improvement in its product strength. The vehicle not only upgrades its powertrain but also makes corresponding adjustments to its chassis, making it more well-rounded. The only regret is that BYD's high-end intelligent driving system has not yet been introduced on this model. Nevertheless, as a family SUV, the Tang DM-i is already a leader in its segment, making it a highly recommended option for consumers to consider.
