BYD‘s flagship Dynasty SUV, the Great Tang, has begun arriving at dealerships across China ahead of its official presale at the 2025 Beijing Auto Show in April. At least four variants — including rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive — are now available for blind orders before pricing is announced.
Flagship of the Dynasty Lineup
Unveiled on March 5 as the production version of the Dynasty-D concept, the Great Tang is BYD’s largest SUV to date. It stretches over 5.3 meters in length with a 3,130 mm wheelbase and offers a three-row, seven-seat layout — placing it squarely in China’s premium full-size SUV segment.
The cabin targets luxury buyers with a triple-screen dashboard, second-row folding tables, a ceiling-mounted entertainment display, and an onboard refrigerator. Select trims add zero-gravity seating and a 27-speaker audio system.
Up to 950 km Electric Range — Among the Longest in Class
The all-electric Great Tang runs on BYD’s second-generation Blade Battery and supports high-power fast charging. The rear-wheel-drive BEV delivers 950 km CLTC range from a 130.15 kWh pack, ranking it among the longest-range electric SUVs on sale in China.
The dual-motor AWD version produces 585 kW (784 hp) and sprints from 0–100 km/h in 3.9 seconds, with a 850 km CLTC range.
Plug-In Hybrid Variants Available
BYD will also offer the Great Tang in two PHEV configurations. The DM-i version pairs a 1.5-litre turbocharged engine with a 200 kW electric motor for up to 342 km CLTC electric range. The sportier DM-p setup adds a second motor for a combined output of 400 kW (536 hp).
Tight Turning Radius Despite Full-Size Dimensions
Despite its size, the Great Tang achieves a reported 5.2-meter turning radius — smaller than that of the Mini Hatch — thanks to rear-wheel steering and BYD’s DiSus-A dual-chamber air suspension. Power-assisted doors and a new lidar sensor for advanced driver assistance systems round out the chassis package.
Pricing: Sub-300,000 Yuan to Compete With Geely Galaxy M9?
BYD has not officially confirmed pricing. Early reports pointed to a segment above 400,000 yuan (~$58,000 USD), but internal positioning may push the final price below 300,000 yuan (~$43,500 USD) to avoid cannibalizing the Denza lineup.
That would put the Great Tang in direct competition with the Geely Galaxy M9 — a full-size PHEV SUV priced from 183,800 to 248,800 yuan (~$26,700–$36,100 USD) that logged 11,635 deliveries in just the first two months of 2025.
