The Tang L is a highly anticipated BYD model. It will become the brand’s flagship SUV available in BEV and PHEV variants. Some Chinese sources mentioned this car can become a replacement for the current BYD Tang (see specs). However, other media outlets have stated that the new car isn’t the Tang successor but a new model in the brand’s lineup.

BYD Tang L exterior styling

The BYD Tang L was previously spotted in China in the early stages of development. Now, the test car seen in China looks closer to the mass-produced variant. And the Tang L surprised us by using the new design language.

The front end of BYD’s upcoming flagship SUV adopts two-storey headlamps. Day running lights sit on the upper level, and low beams and high beams are integrated into the front bumper. Because of the new headlamp design, the Tang L looks similar to Nio cars. However, the BYD’s crossover has the brand’s signature chrome-plated element between running lights called “Dragon’s whiskers.” The Tang L’s front bumper has a trapeze-shaped air intake.

The BYD’s flagship crossover also reminds us of Nio due to a LiDAR sensor on top of the roof. However, LiDAR bumps are widely spread among many automakers. Otherwise, the BYD Tang L looks distinctive. It has a slightly slanted roofline and retractable door handles. From the back, it has the brand’s signature taillight strip with a Chinese knot pattern.

The interior of the BYD Tang L was spotted in August. It adopts six seats with a 2 + 2 + 2 layout. Its center console has a D-shaped steering wheel and a large 15.6-inch floating screen.

There is no information about the Tang L specs and powertrain. We at CarNewsChina expect this SUV to adopt the BYD’s DM 5.0 PHEV system. It consists of a 1.5-liter turbocharged ICE for 115 kW (154 hp) and an e-motor for 200 kW (268 hp). The all-electric variant will likely stand on the e-Platform 3.0 Evo architecture.
