BYD Tang DM-P／EV Glory Edition went on the market： the price was lowered by 30,000-40,000 yuan compared with the old one.

2024年8月8日 | admin | dthfhj

On Monday morning, two major brands launched a new round of "price-for-quantity" scheme. Except for the new model L6, LI lowered the price by 18-30,000 yuan, and the price of SUV models was lowered by 20,000 yuan at the highest. These plug-in extended-range hybrid C-class SUVs have brought a lot of pressure to competing products, so the author is very curious about which competing products will take over first. I didn’t expect BYD Tang DM-p/EV to launch the glory version immediately afterwards.

BYD’s recently launched glory series new model is actually an official version. Let’s look at the price.

Tang DM-p:

  • The old model, the exclusive version of four-wheel drive costs 269,800 yuan, and the flagship version costs 289,800 yuan.
  • The new four-wheel drive exclusive edition costs 229,800 yuan, the flagship edition costs 249,800 yuan, and the Ares edition costs 269,800 yuan.

The original price of the four-wheel drive is lowered by 40,000 yuan, and the price of the Ares version is the same as the starting price.

This price may bring a little unhappiness to the old car owners. At the beginning, the purchase price of our Tang DM-p four-wheel drive flagship test car was 331,800 yuan, and only this version had a differential lock; Now the Ares version with a price of 269,800 yuan also has a rear axle differential lock, and the price is equal to 62,000 yuan. However, one thing is quite gratifying, that is, the new model only reduces the price without increasing the configuration. Compared with those recently launched cars with smart driving configuration such as laser radar and high-end car-level car chips, the change of Tang DM-p is not great.

The plug-in hybrid version of Tang DM-p can still be considered. It is already equipped with a three-engine four-wheel drive hybrid system, with a 1.5T engine and E-CVT as the front part, and the motor at the rear axle also has a maximum power of 200kW. Its 100-kilometer acceleration takes only 4.3 seconds, and its performance is quite strong. The pure electric cruising range of WLTC is also 189 kilometers, and the lowest charged fuel consumption is good. Therefore, this car is still competitive in the traditional plug-in hybrid SUV model camp, and its competitiveness will only be stronger after the price reduction.

Tang EV

The price of the pure electric version of BYD Tang has also been lowered and the range is not small. The specific standards are as follows.

  • The old model, the two-wheel drive exclusive model (600km) costs 282,800 yuan, the 730 km version costs 312,800 yuan, and the four-wheel drive flagship model (635km) costs 342,800 yuan.
  • Champion edition, exclusive two-wheel drive model (600km) costs 249,800 yuan, 730 km version costs 269,800 yuan, and flagship four-wheel drive model (635km) costs 299,800 yuan.
  • The new model, two-wheel drive exclusive model (600km) costs 219,800 yuan, the 730 km version costs 239,800 yuan, and the four-wheel drive flagship version (635km) costs 269,800 yuan.

After two rounds of substantial price reduction, the pure electric series was reduced by 33,000-43,000 yuan for the champion version, and 30,000 yuan for the glory version compared with the champion version.

Why is the price reduction of Tang EV so great?

This is about its drive system. The two-wheel drive version of Tang EV is a front-wheel drive, just like the plug-in hybrid version of Tang DM-i; However, the two-wheel drive models of middle and high-end pure electric SUVs are generally rear-drive, and the reason is not repeated here. In short, the driving quality of rear-wheel drive is better than that of front-wheel drive. The reason why the middle and low-end vehicles of fuel vehicles generally adopt the front drive structure is that the manufacturing cost of the front drive system is low, but the cost of adopting the rear drive for new energy vehicles is equivalent, so most new energy vehicle brands make the two-wheel drive as the rear drive.

On the contrary, the Tang EV exclusive series, which still adopts the predecessor scheme, is still not very attractive.

The price of the flagship version of the glory series four-wheel drive is 269,800 yuan. The performance of this version is very strong. It only takes 4.4 seconds to break the hundred, and the cruising range of 635 kilometers is not bad. However, the performance of BYD brand cars in terms of intelligence is not eye-catching. Even mid-range cars such as Tang EV don’t use car-standard chips that can meet the standard of 8155. Now, cars of the same class are popularizing 8295 chips whose performance is improved several times.

And the mid-range new energy vehicles are popularizing lidar, and BYD Tang has no application.

Therefore, this car looks more traditional, its pure electric version is generally competitive, and the sales volume of this series is relatively low; If you must choose this car, it is recommended to consider Tang DM-P.
