BYD Great Tang EV Surpasses 100,000 Pre-Orders
BYD recently announced that the Great Tang EV has exceeded 100,000 pre-sale orders, less than two weeks after pre-sales opened at the 2026 Beijing Auto Show, with a pre-sale price range of RMB 250,000 to RMB 320,000.
Positioned as a full-size flagship SUV, the Great Tang measures 5,263 mm in length with a 3,130 mm wheelbase, giving it a strong road presence. The model is available in three range configurations: an 800 km rear-wheel-drive version, a 950 km rear-wheel-drive version, and an 850 km all-wheel-drive version.
The vehicle is equipped with BYD's second-generation Blade Battery, delivering a maximum CLTC-rated pure electric range of 950 km — setting a new benchmark for full-size electric SUVs globally. Powered by BYD's ultra-fast charging technology, the battery can charge from 10% to 70% in just five minutes, and to 97% in nine minutes. Even in extreme cold conditions of -30°C, charging time increases by only an additional three minutes.
