The full-size electric SUV was previously expected to launch in May, but several dealers reportedly had not yet received their first batch of vehicles or showroom display cars. According to dealer sources, BYD adjusted the launch schedule to better align nationwide deliveries with the official market debut as pre-sale demand continued rising rapidly. The delay also comes as BYD faces increasing production pressure tied to its latest flash-charging NEVs. Earlier this month, BYD acknowledged that demand for models using its flash-charge platform had exceeded current battery production capacity, with company chairman Wang Chuanfu stating that output expansion is currently constrained by second-generation Blade Battery manufacturing capacity. Orders continue climbing The Great Tang has become one of BYD’s most closely watched upcoming launches this year. BYD previously confirmed that cumulative pre-sale orders had surpassed 100,000 units ahead of launch. Earlier in April, the company said the SUV received more than 30,000 pre-orders within 24 hours of pre-sales opening. Dealer channel information now indicates the order total has continued to increase since then. Long-range flagship SUV The Great Tang is positioned as a full-size, seven-seat electric SUV focused on long-distance driving, fast charging, air suspension, rear-wheel steering, and advanced driver assistance systems. The SUV measures 5,263 mm long, 1,999 mm wide, and 1,790 mm tall, with a 3,130 mm wheelbase. Previously announced pre-sale variants include: 800 km rear-wheel-drive 950 km rear-wheel-drive 850 km all-wheel-drive The pre-sale price range is 250,000 yuan to 320,000 yuan (36,700 USD to 47,000 USD). The SUV uses BYD’s second-generation Blade Battery and its flash-charging system. BYD previously stated that the battery can charge from 10% to 70% in five minutes and from 10% to 97% in nine minutes under supported charging conditions. The chassis uses the DiSus-A intelligent dual-chamber air suspension system together with rear-wheel steering. BYD previously stated that the all-wheel-drive version can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds. BYD’s Tang L sales in China.
