Recommended buying guide for the 2025 BYD Tang DM-i prestige model

The most noticeable upgrade of the BYD Tang DM-i 2025 is undoubtedly the integration of the fifth generation DM hybrid technology. Both performance and fuel efficiency have been significantly improved. So which version of this car is worth choosing? In this edition of the “Car Buying Guide” we provide you with a detailed analysis.

Vehicle model overview

Continuing the Dragon Face aesthetic design concept, the 2025 BYD Tang DM-i features a dragon-scale front air intake grille made of a matrix of chrome plating, which is highly recognizable. In addition, the front grille, front bumper decor and interior details of the front lighting system can be optionally equipped with a blackened kit, giving the vehicle an even sportier feel. The rear of the vehicle features a full-width taillight design, with the internal light strips on both sides incorporating traditional Chinese knot elements, creating a sophisticated effect when illuminated. In addition, the rear bumper has an artificial diffuser decoration on both sides, which echoes the design of the front bumper and thus ensures a uniform appearance.

As for the rims, the 2025 BYD Tang DM-i offers two-tone 20-inch multi-spoke rims with tire specifications of 255/50 R20.

In terms of body colors, the 2025 BYD Tang DM-i offers four color options. Among them, Mountain Gray color is quite fashionable and exudes a stronger sense of sophistication, making it a priority choice. In addition, the Weiyang Gray color requires optional installation and includes a black exterior kit, which is more suitable for consumers who prefer a sporty style.

There aren’t many changes in the interior. It continues with the combination of a 15.6-inch central control screen and a 12.3-inch instrument screen and is equipped with the advanced version of the DiLink smart cockpit. In terms of equipment, all series are equipped as standard with an opening panoramic sunroof, multi-layer soundproof glass for the front row, wireless phone charging for the front seats, automatic air conditioning, several active safety functions and a driver assistance system.

As for the power system, the 2025 BYD Tang DM-i is equipped with the fifth generation DM plug-in hybrid technology. Both the 1.5T engine and engine performance have been improved. The maximum engine power is 115 kW, with a maximum torque of 225 Nm. The total engine power is 200 kW, with a total torque of 315 Nm. The battery has a capacity of 21,504 kWh and the CLTC-EV runtime is 115 km.

Section Two: Salient Features and Recommendations of Vehicle Models

The entry-level 2025 BYD Tang DM-i has a rich configuration, including an electric trunk, adaptive high and low beams, steering assist lights, a pop-up panoramic sunroof and wireless mobile phone charging for the front seats. These features are more than enough to meet the basic needs of the family. However, the entry-level model is not recommended this time, especially because there are other models with a better price-performance ratio.

3. Analysis of differences in recommended vehicle model configurations

Comparing the configurations, it is not difficult to see that the recommended model has features such as DOW (Door Open Warning), Rear Collision Warning (RCW), heated steering wheel, front seat heating/ventilation, Dynaudio sound system and 31-color ambient lighting in the vehicle interior . These additional features significantly increase both safety and convenience, and the price difference between the two models is only RMB 8,000. Therefore an upgrade is recommended.

In contrast, the Flagship Edition, which is a step up from the recommended model, offers many advanced configurations such as a HUD head-up display, leather seats, seat massage and a power adjustable memory function for the driver’s seat. These features are more of a “nice-to-have” than major improvements.

Overall, the 2025 BYD Tang DM-i 115KM Prestige model is more recommended and can be prioritized when buying a car.
