On June 17, BYD's full-size flash-charging flagship SUV, the Datang EV, was officially launched at Yongning Gate in Xi'an. The Datang EV is designed for the backbone of today's society—people who possess both career ambition, family responsibility, and a passion for technology. It combines the longest pure electric range among full-size SUVs (950 km), the industry's only flash charging, and city navigation safety with the courage to back it up, encompassing 29 world firsts and interpreting a new flagship benchmark with real strength!
This time, the Datang EV offers four models: the 800KM rear-wheel-drive LiDAR Prestige Edition, the 950KM rear-wheel-drive LiDAR Flagship Edition, the 850KM four-wheel-drive LiDAR Flagship Edition, and the Datang Prosperous Era Edition, with a price range of 239,900 to 309,900 yuan. Purchasing during the launch period grants access to thirteen major Datang privileges, including one year of free flash charging, exclusive financial gifts, trade-in subsidies, premium color gifts, and exclusive VIP gifts, covering the entire lifecycle from purchase to ownership.
With unique hardcore strength, it completely ends the pain points of full-size pure electric SUVs
In terms of top-tier technology, the Datang EV debuts BYD's second-generation blade battery, with a CLTC pure electric range of up to 950 km, setting a new global record for full-size pure electric SUV range. Real-world testing shows that the Datang EV achieves a range fulfillment rate of up to 99.61% in urban conditions, and still up to 97% under 85% expressway conditions, completely eliminating range anxiety.
At the same time, the Datang EV is equipped with flash charging technology, achieving a charge from 10% to 70% in 5 minutes and from 10% to 97% in 9 minutes, with only 3 extra minutes needed for energy replenishment in an extreme cold environment of minus 30°C. Currently, BYD has deployed 6,682 flash charging stations across 321 cities nationwide, with the charging network continuing to densify, making flash charging an everyday reality within reach for car owners.
In terms of intelligence, the Datang EV comes standard across the lineup with the God's Eye B - Advanced Driver Assistance LiDAR Edition and God's Eye 5.0, delivering smooth car-following, precise judgment, and rapid response in scenarios such as urban congestion, long-distance highways, and narrow roads. After arriving at the destination, exit-to-park can be used, with the vehicle automatically parking itself, making it easy and convenient. Following its safety backstop for intelligent parking, BYD once again takes the lead in promising a 1-year safety backstop for city navigation. Only with the courage to back it up is it truly good; only with the courage to back it up is it truly safe!
Inside the cabin, BYD's AI super intelligent agent "Didi Xia" empowers the DiLink AI intelligent cockpit, possessing three hardcore capabilities: "good at chatting, capable of getting things done, and skilled at having fun." Through large model upgrades, Xiaodi can understand even the most colloquial and fragmented expressions—just say "I'm a bit hot" and it understands immediately. A specially customized, evolvable BYD digital avatar is also onboard, fully evolving human-vehicle interaction. In addition, the Datang EV debuts BYD's self-developed smart buttons—one press and one twist to control the car, one touch and one tap to enable phone-vehicle connectivity. Any passenger in any seat can operate them easily, creating the handiest shortcut keys.
With a more confident top-tier presence, it showcases the demeanor of a flagship for a prosperous era
In terms of design, in an era of uniformity, the Datang is dedicated to creating a face of its own. With a length of nearly 5.3 meters and a wheelbase of over 3.1 meters, it presents a more composed, more upright, and more confident full-size flagship stance. In the details, the glowing seal-script "Tang" emblem at the center of the front fascia is understated yet sharp, upright and unyielding, condensing cultural backbone; the world's longest one-piece through daytime running light on a production vehicle—the 2.41-meter-long Flying Eaves Break Dawn one-piece daytime running light—features an upward-sweeping lamp cavity shape, symbolizing the Chinese people's spirit of never bowing their heads and never admitting defeat, recognizable at a glance from a hundred meters away at night; in terms of color, it draws on the aesthetics of China's mountains and rivers, offering three two-tone color schemes including Red Emperor Red Silver, Thousand Mountains Green Silver, and Golden Splash Beige Black, as well as five monochrome options including Distant Mountain Gray and Obsidian Black, allowing car owners of different temperaments to find a color expression that matches themselves.
Stepping into the cabin, the Datang EV, with a truly premium and breathable mobile interior, accommodates N+1 possibilities of life. It pioneers the "2+2+3" seating layout among Chinese-brand full-size SUVs, with a cabin utilization rate of up to 89.3%, and the third row is also a veritable center seat in the C position. At the same time, even with a full load, the front and rear trunks can still hold 10 20-inch carry-on suitcases, and the whole vehicle has 47 storage spaces plus a 252L globally largest electrically opening and closing front trunk.
In terms of comfort features, the front dual zero-gravity seats and the second-row independent zero-pressure aviation seats all come standard with ventilation, heating, and 10-point massage, and the second-row backrest can recline up to 146 degrees. The Sky Mirror hollow laminated glass roof not only blocks 99.99% of ultraviolet rays but also frees up an additional 30 millimeters of headroom and reduces interior noise by 3.9 decibels. Up to 27 Devialet in-car audio speakers throughout the vehicle, combined with Magic Cube Panoramic Sound 2.0 technology, make sitting inside feel like being in the golden VIP seat of a Hollywood theater, and headrest speakers and privacy sound shields can also be activated so as not to disturb one another.
In addition, more than 50 luxury features are all included, such as four-door silent soft-close doors, a front-row extra-large beauty makeup mirror, Magic Cube voice transmitter, rear privacy glass, and front-seat power leg extenders, allowing every minute of business reception and family travel to enjoy the most thoughtful care.
With an unreserved flagship experience, it satisfies the diverse needs of the whole family
The Datang EV also offers agile handling that lets a large car drive with the ease of a small one. For the first time in the Dynasty series, it features a rear-wheel steering system, with plus or minus 7 degrees of rear-wheel steering, combined with a large front-wheel steering angle of 41.99 degrees, compressing the turning radius to just 5.2 meters, allowing a U-turn on a two-lane road in one go, and supporting an intelligent crab-walk mode, making travel through narrow alleys effortless. The chassis is equipped with the Yunian-A intelligent air body control system (dual-chamber air suspension), combined with road preview function (subsequent OTA), adjusting suspension softness and firmness in milliseconds, turning bumps into smooth roads. The entire lineup comes standard with the industry's first all-seat multidimensional motion sickness prevention mode, allowing family members prone to carsickness to travel comfortably as well. The four-wheel-drive version further delivers a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 3.9 seconds, bringing confident assurance to every long journey.
In terms of safety, the Datang EV builds fortress-level protection with cost-no-object investment. A 13-horizontal and 9-vertical ultra-strong cage body, with high-strength steel and aluminum alloy usage in the whole vehicle reaching as high as 84%, and core collision protection areas using top-luxury-grade steel of over 2,000 megapascals, creating passive safety protection with no blind spots throughout the vehicle.
At the same time, the Datang EV comes standard across the lineup with the TBC high-speed tire blowout stability system, capable of achieving stable travel after a straight-line tire blowout at up to 200 km/h and after a curve tire blowout at 144 km/h. The world's first semi-hidden mechanical door handle exceeding new national standards can still be opened normally after an extreme collision causes power loss, buying every crucial second for rescue. The new car also passed the China Automotive Technology and Research Center's "0 formaldehyde" healthy cockpit certification with a result six times beyond national standards, plus unreserved safety features such as 11 airbags, comprehensively protecting every passenger in the car.
Conclusion:
"Tang" is a kind of heritage, stemming from an open and inclusive vision, and also a pioneering spirit. The Datang EV brings together million-yuan-class segment-leading configurations in one vehicle, boasting the hardcore strength of 29 world firsts, an incomparable top-tier presence, and a flagship experience, fully demonstrating the cultural temperament most matching this confidence, and further showcasing the Dynasty Network's tribute to the era with its highest accumulation—truly worthy of being the most worthwhile full-size flagship SUV to buy in 2026!
