In 2023, the BYD Tang family will sell more than 140,000 units, and in 2024, in order to achieve a further step, the Tang DM-i will usher in an update. A few days ago, some netizens have taken pictures of the new Tang DM-i's actual car to the store, the new car will be replaced with the same front face of Tang DM-P + "Chinese knot" through-type taillights, and the use of lotus gray interior and DiLink 5.0 car machine system, the power continues to be equipped with 1.5T plug-in hybrid system, providing a 112km endurance version. Let's take a look.
Judging from the actual car picture, the front face of the new Tang DM-i is exactly the same as that of the Tang DM-P. The "big mouth" hexagonal grille is complemented by the "scales" decoration of the armor version, giving it a combative feel, while the blackened trim that extends on either side blends with the "C" shaped air vents to continue to emphasize the sporty look. The aggressive matrix headlights, connected by chrome trim strips, further enhance the visual impact.
It is not difficult to see that the new car will also be available in silver glaze and white (new to the 24 Tang DM-i/DM-P in August last year), but the dynamic five-spoke wheels will still be the style of the 23 models. The tail is also replaced with "Chinese knot" through-type taillights, and the "C" shaped deflector groove on both sides of the rear surround is also decorated with blackened wind knives, at first glance, it is Tang DM-P, but the tail mark of "DM-i" still highlights a different identity.
The lotus gray interior is also the same as the 24 Tang DM-i/DM-P, the light-colored style, coupled with the matte texture of the trim, is undoubtedly more luxurious, and the double-spoke steering wheel with the "Heart of Longqing" electronic gear knob also further enhances the sense of grade. The floating central control screen with wrap-around ambient lighting creates a full sense of science and technology, and will be equipped with DiLink 5.0 car machine system. It is expected that the new Tang DM-i will also be upgraded for equipment, and it is reported that the new car will add a model with a higher configuration than the 24 DM-i Premium Series.
As for the power, it can be seen from the vehicle nameplate that the new Tang DM-i will continue to be equipped with a 102kW 1.5T engine + 160kW drive motor, and it can be calculated with the rated voltage and rated capacity that the new Tang DM-i will be matched with a battery pack with a capacity of 21.504kWh, which is the same as the 23 Tang DM-i, with a pure electric range of 112km. At the same time, the rear overhang is still three-link. For reference, the starting price of the 23 Tang DM-i is 209,800 yuan, and the price of the 24 DM-i premium (200 km range) is 249,800 yuan.
To put it simply, through this facelift, it is a dream for consumers who like the appearance of DM-P and only have a DM-i budget, and as for the replacement of the "Tang L", it is expected to meet you in the third quarter. Of course, the information about the new car has yet to be officially announced, so what do you think about the new BYD Tang DM-i, and do you think it will be reduced?
