Big step above the Atto 3
The Chinese BYD is putting its teeth into the Dutch car market with three electric models. What the relatively compact Atto 3 will cost was already known, but now we also know what you have to pay for its bigger brother: the BYD Tang.
BYD starts its Dutch sales offensive with the Atto 3, the Tang and the Han. The Atto 3 is an electric relatively compact crossover for which you have to tap a small 43 mille via importer Louwman. The Atto 3 is not the only electric high-legged BYD that you can buy in the Netherlands. A big step above that crossover is the BYD Tang. That is an electric SUV with seven seats that with its length of 4.9 meters is a lot more robust than the approximately 4.45 meter long Atto 3. Now the price of that BYD Tang is also known.
The BYD Tang is currently coming to the Netherlands in one flavor. It is called Premium and costs €73,300. This makes it far above the Atto 3 in terms of size, but also in price. The four-wheel drive BYD Tang has two 517 hp electric motors with which it zooms to 100 km/h in 4.6 seconds. If you don’t do that too often, you should be able to squeeze 400 WLTP kilometers from the 86.4 kWh battery. The seven-seater can pull up to 1,500 kilos (braked) and is quite generous in its stuff.
BYD Tang
BYD presses the Tang Executive full with almost everything that you can expect in an SUV of this size. It stands on 22-inch light metal, has an electrically operated tailgate with ‘foot control’ and gets a large glass sliding/tilting roof. A 12.3-inch digital instrumentation is standard, the same applies to two-tone leather upholstery, a heated steering wheel, two-zone separated climate control and electrically adjustable front seats (heatable and with ventilation). More Tang indulgence comes in the form of a 360-degree camera, adaptive cruise control with Stop & Go function, blind spot detection, Lane Departure Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, a 12.8-inch rotating multimedia screen, an induction charger and an audio system with 12 speakers.
