The second-generation Tang elevated BYD's flagship SUV with striking 'Dragon Face' design, seven-seat family luxury and world-class powertrain engineering in both PHEV and pure EV formats. Keeping this substantial vehicle in prime condition calls for disciplined BYD Tang maintenance, tailored to the specific powertrain installed.
PHEV models feature a 2.0-litre turbo engine mated to a six-speed dual-clutch gearbox and electric drive motors, while EV editions boast an 82.8 kWh battery pack driving single- or dual-motor setups via a dedicated reduction gearbox. High thermal loads are controlled by an advanced multi-zone cooling system managing both high-voltage electronics and cabin climate.
When inspecting a used Tang II, check tyre wear patterns across all four 20- or 22-inch wheels, as heavy vehicle weight accelerates inner shoulder wear. Verify smooth hybrid mode transitions on PHEVs, test rapid DC charging speeds on EV editions, and inspect rear suspension bushes for movement over bumpy roads.
