BYD has released the first official interior images of its third-generation Tang large SUV, revealing two distinct cabin designs and a massive central display that the company says is an industry first. The flagship five-seat model, which debuted at the Chengdu auto show earlier this year, is scheduled to go on sale in the fourth quarter, according to NetEase Auto.
Two cabin themes, one giant screen
The first interior option uses an amber-brown colour scheme aimed at a more luxurious feel, with diamond-quilted stitching, leather-wrapped surfaces and chrome trim. It includes a multifunction steering wheel, head-up display, digital instrument cluster and the large touchscreen, which can switch to a full-screen cinema mode for passengers.
The second option, finished in sand-dune beige, leans more heavily into technology. It merges instrument and head-up display information into a single long screen positioned ahead of the driver, showing speed, navigation, battery level and traffic data, with customisable display modules. This version also adds zero-gravity seat adjustments and recline functions controlled from the door panels, plus a slightly different steering wheel design.
The exterior, already shown in Chengdu, features a full-width integrated LED headlight bar that combines low and high beams, animated lighting effects and BYD's signature dragon-whisker styling. A two-tone paint scheme pairs metallic dark green with a silver roof, while a coupe-like roofline and short overhangs give the roughly 5-metre SUV a lower, sleeker stance. At the rear, a Chinese-knot-patterned light bar runs across the tailgate.
850 km range, fast charging, air suspension
The third-generation Tang measures 5,045 mm long, 1,980 mm wide and 1,740 mm tall, with a 2,950 mm wheelbase. BYD positions it as a large five-seat SUV, freeing up space for the second row, where legroom exceeds 1,000 mm and seatbacks recline up to 130 degrees.
On the technology front, the car comes with BYD's God's Eye B driver-assistance system with lidar, covering adaptive cruise in stop-and-go traffic, highway navigation assist and all-scenario smart parking. BYD claims it handles narrow parking spots and reduces driver workload in daily commuting.
Range and charging are key selling points. The Tang offers 850 km of CLTC-rated range, which translates to roughly 680-720 km under the more conservative WLTP cycle (est.). BYD's second-generation blade battery is paired with a flash-charging system that can top the battery from empty to 70 percent in 5 minutes and 97 percent in 9 minutes at normal temperatures, with only 3 extra minutes needed in extreme cold.
The SUV rides on BYD's Cloud-Chassis A dual-chamber air suspension with front double-wishbone and rear five-link independent suspension, plus an intelligent all-wheel-drive system that distributes torque based on road conditions. The suspension can raise ride height for rough terrain, aiming for comfort on paved roads and capability off it.
BYD says the third-generation Tang will launch with 30 segment-first features, though it has kept one major undisclosed technology under wraps until the official debut. The model joins the larger seven-seat Tang in a dual-flagship strategy, with the new car targeting urban families seeking a premium five-seat experience.
