The appearance of a camouflaged BYD Tang DM-i suggests that a new version of the car is on the horizon. The leaked photos show that the vehicle is still missing its headlights, indicating possible modifications to the front design. It's uncertain whether these changes will include new lighting setups.
Upcoming Models and Technology
BYD is preparing to introduce its fifth-generation DM technology on May 28th, with the Qin L and Haibao 06 DM-i being the first to showcase this innovation. This new plug-in hybrid technology is also anticipated to be a feature of the upcoming Tang DM-i, which is expected to come with a 1.5-liter engine and an electric drive motor.
To provide some context, the current BYD Qin L features a 1.5-liter engine that produces 74 kilowatts. It is paired with an electric drive motor that comes in two options, delivering peak power outputs of 120 kilowatts and 160 kilowatts.
Pricing and Variants
The existing BYD Tang DM-i is available in seven versions, with prices ranging from 179,800 to 269,800 yuan. Stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to the official release of the new BYD Tang DM-i.
