BYD Tang EV has launched three configured models at a price of 2798-339800 yuan. It has only been on the market for 24 hours, and the order volume has exceeded 8505.
The direct competitor of Tang EV is Tesla Model y. compared with model y, which new Tang EV is more worth starting with?
Two styles of appearance
Both the model y and the Tang EV have a high degree of recognition, and both are positioned as medium-sized SUVs. However, the two models have completely different design styles.
The front face of model y has simple lines, and the shape of headlights is also more personalized, with a strong sense of movement. Such family design has indeed attracted many consumers, but it has also lost the recognition of many traditional users because it is too personalized.
The front face of Tang EV is more complex, and the overall outline is closer to that of the fuel vehicle. It is worth mentioning that the new car was launched this time, Tang EV finally changed back to the family face of BYD's pure electric vehicle, while the 2021 model somehow adopted the front face close to the hybrid model.
Model y has always had a mixed reputation in the body side design. Fans feel that this design is more fashionable, but many consumers feel that the body proportion of this car is not coordinated and does not look comfortable. The body length of model y is only 4750mm, but the wheelbase has reached an amazing 2890mm, which can be called a leader among the models of the same level.
Like the front face, the side of the Tang EV is also close to the common fuel vehicles. The 4900mm long car with suspended roof looks very slender, but the wheelbase of this car is only 2820mm. Compared with model y, it has no spatial advantage.
It is worth noting that Tang EV has a 2+3+2 7-seat layout, which is more attractive for families with two or three children or families with three generations. For a family of three, Tang EV is also more suitable for camping, self driving tours and other car environments.
The configuration level is relatively close. Tang EV wins a little
Compared with the joint venture fuel vehicles at the same price, Tesla is more conscientious in terms of internal configuration. At the same time, BYD has also inherited the fine tradition that domestic cars prefer stack configuration, so the performance of model y and Tang EV in configuration is relatively close.
The interior layout of the model y is very simple. Of course, you can also say that it is relatively simple. The whole car has realized the real full touch operation, so it has attracted many young consumers. However, for other users, this kind of extreme interior decoration still looks a little abrupt.
Tang EV is also working towards full touch, but its interior layout follows a conventional route. Unlike the model y, it is more innovative and easy for consumers to accept.
Model y performs well in terms of internal configuration. The reversing image, steering wheel heating, built-in dash cam, wireless charging in the front of the mobile phone, lumbar support of the driver's seat, heating of the front and rear seats, voice recognition control system, rear side privacy glass, rear air outlet, interior PM2.5 filter device, etc. are all standard configurations of the whole system. In addition, model y also has various safe driving assistance functions, including line merging assistance, lane departure warning, lane keeping assistance, and active braking.
Tang EV is not different from model y in common functions and configurations, but it has high-end configurations that model y does not have, such as 360 degree panoramic image, HUD head up digital display, driver seat leg support, anion generator, etc. It also has more advantages in driving assistance functions, with various configurations such as road traffic sign recognition, fatigue driving reminder, etc.
Judging from the current situation, Tang EV is not inferior to model y in terms of performance, but still needs to make efforts in terms of brand influence. Tesla is famous after all, so Tang EV still has a long way to go to surpass model y in sales.
