As the current high-profile models in the SUV market, BYD Tang and Guangben Haoying may not be able to fully meet the demanding requirements of consumers, but they have their own characteristics and advantages. What is the reason why more and more people are more inclined to buy the Shadow than the Tang after the launch of the Shadow Hybrid? We will compare the two models and reveal the advantages of the Shadow so that consumers can more clearly understand the differences between the two and the reasons for choosing them.
In-depth analysis, we can find that Haoying is better than Tang in many aspects. First of all, Tang is based on the BYD S6 magic modification, although it pays tribute to many classic model parts, but after all, it is an imitation product, so it has not been much improved from the previous brand image. As of April 2023, Haoying has achieved cumulative sales of nearly 500,000 units, ranking firmly in the "monthly sales club", ranking among the top mid-size SUV sales in China, and winning countless reputations with its leading natural strength. In the "2020 China Automobile User Satisfaction Index Evaluation", Haoying won the first place in the satisfaction of new cars (A-class SUVs) in the market in 2020. In the "China Central Radio and Television 2022 China Automobile Festival", the new generation Haoying won the annual "Best SUV" award. At this point, Haoying undoubtedly won.
Secondly, because Tang's engine is not independently developed, it uses an engine that imitates the old Volkswagen, so it cannot be cured in terms of fuel consumption, vibration, wear and tear, etc., in addition, Tang's multi-link rear suspension comes from the old Toyota Camry platform, which cannot provide sufficient quality stability and handling. In contrast, the new generation of Haoying e:HEV/e:PHEV is a new product, self-developed engine and technology, the new generation of Haoying e:HEV/e:PHEV is equipped with a new 2.0L Atkinson cycle direct injection engine, thermal efficiency has reached the world's top level of 41%, and the system can also use the engine's two-speed direct drive mode and predictive auxiliary energy-saving functions (through satellite navigation signals to store / Discharge intelligent planning), which achieves a comprehensive fuel consumption performance of 5.49L/100km in more demanding WLTC working condition cycles, which is absolutely "cool". At the same time, the range of the new generation of Haoying e:HEV/e:PHEV is even higher than the nominal range, but Tang's pure electric range is often complained by netizens about false standards. In addition, the quality and stability of the all-new Haoying e:HEV/e:PHEV are better than BYD's, and its chassis comfort and overall driving feel are also better than Tang's. Therefore, if you want to choose an SUV that is more reliable and performs better, Haoying is undoubtedly the wiser choice.
Intuitive Honda's fourth-generation i-MMD dual-motor plug-in hybrid system (two-gear) technology, we can also find that compared with the domestic hybrid system represented by BYD DM-i, it is more mature and advanced, and has three advantages: efficient mode, strong performance and precise control. In terms of structure, the BYD Tang DM-i is similar to Honda's third-generation i-MMD hybrid system, the engine and the drive motor share the final transmission gear, but the third-generation i-MMD hybrid system has a booster (VCU) with a very high technical threshold, and the voltage obtained by the drive motor is more flexible and free, and the power transmission system is miniaturized and lightweight. In addition, based on Honda's sporty DNA, the fourth-generation i-MMD dual-motor hybrid system (two gears) also features a throttle pedal response with better driving quality, a paddle for stable deceleration, a B-gear shift that can switch between one-pedal mode at the touch of a button, and a linear shift control that simulates a step-by-step transmission, making driving more enjoyable.
In short, the Tang DM-i is an EV-based system that is suitable for flat road conditions, and it is helpless in the event of unexpected road conditions, while the i-MMD is a high-reliability system that can cope with various extreme driving environments and daily scenarios. However, to choose between the all-new generation Haoying e:HEV/e:PHEV and the BYD Tang, it is undoubtedly more correct to choose the all-new generation Haoying e:HEV/e:PHEV.
