Will the performance be discounted with the price? Test Tang DM-i Honor Edition

In 2024, BYD's popularity has continued unabated. After the Spring Festival, the price of the entry-level Qin PLUS DM-i Honor Edition model directly broke through eight, reaching 79,800 yuan, and then at the end of May, the official Qin L DM-i, which officially claimed that the comprehensive cruising range could reach 2,100km, was officially launched, which caused a lot of market response. However, many netizens also questioned whether the strength of the Honor Edition with a lower price would also be discounted. This time, we found the big brother of BYD Dynasty Network SUV-the 2024 Tang DM-i Honor Edition 200KM flagship model, to see if the strength of the Honor Edition model with a price reduction and additional configuration has changed compared to the old model. ● Did the exterior and interior change? The Tang DM-i Glory Edition continues the Dragon Face 3.0 design language, but you may have a feeling of both familiarity and unfamiliarity with this appearance, and this is because it adopts the same design as the Tang DM-p, with details reflecting a more youthful style compared to the older model.
Ride space part, the test model for the 7-seat, 2-3-2 layout, the first two rows are more abundant, but the third row is slightly inferior, although the seat back support a certain angle range adjustment, but the seat cushion on the legs of the general performance of the support, the headspace is also a little bit cramped, basically can only satisfy the adults for short-distance rides.
The layout and number of storage compartments are moderate, with large volumes under the door panels, in the armrest compartment, and inside the glove box, so there's no problem storing some frequently used items. In terms of trunk space, like most seven-seater SUVs of this size, you can only choose between carrying more items or carrying more passengers. When the third row of seats is unfolded, the trunk space is a bit cramped.
When we put the third row of seats down, the trunk space was instantly generous, with three sizes of luggage fitting in completely with some room to spare, and of course, if you're hauling bulky items, you can put the second row down again and expand the space even further.
●Energy consumption performance

The WLTC official pure electric range of Tang DM-i Honor Edition is 150km. Before the pure electric range test, we set the air conditioner to 23℃ automatic, air conditioner economy mode, driving mode to forced EV+ economy, SOC intelligent power conservation 20%, and high energy recovery intensity.
After everything was ready, the test officially began. During the test, we experienced highway roads, city congested roads and other sections, and the average speed at the end of the test was 31.8km/h. Then we conducted a power-feed fuel consumption test. The test started when the battery was 10%. The driving mode was HEV+Economy, the SOC intelligent power preservation was at least 20%, the energy feedback intensity was large, and the air-conditioning settings remained unchanged. We also experienced high-speed, congested and other road conditions throughout the journey. The vehicle stopped the test after driving 110.4 kilometers. The average speed of the whole journey was 30.1km/h. A total of 7.52L of No. 92 gasoline was filled, and the battery was reversed from 10% to 16%. The power-feed fuel consumption of the vehicle was measured to be 6.81L/100km. We have previously measured the 2023 Tang DM-i Champion Edition 112KM Premium Edition with the same power configuration, and the power-feed fuel consumption is 7.39L/100km, which is not much different.
After the endurance test, we used a charging station with a rated power of 250kW to charge the vehicle. It took 51 minutes to charge the battery from 10% to 100%, and 18 minutes to charge from 30-80%. Tang DM-i Glory Edition adopts the power combination of 1.5T engine + front single motor, and the driving mode is front-wheel drive, in which the engine's maximum power is 139 hp, and the electric motor's maximum power is 218 hp, and it is mated with an E-CVT gearbox.
The braking test is quite stressful for a big car with a curb weight of nearly 2.3 tons, but the vehicle suspension provides good support for the body, the forward tilt is slight, and the tires have good grip, with no deviation in direction during braking.
As can be seen, the actual test vehicle acceleration braking performance and our previous test of the same engine power and motor power of the 2023 Tang DM-i Champion Edition 112KM Premium type is not much difference, the actual test of the old model 0-100km/h acceleration results for 8.67 seconds, 100-0km/h braking distance of 39.81 meters. The 0-400m acceleration test is more of a test of the vehicle's sustained acceleration ability, in which the vehicle uses the HEV mode, and the electronic stability system is automatically turned on when the vehicle speed is increased to 90km/h.
●AEB test

In the static fake car anti-rear-end collision test, BYD Tang DM-i recognized the vehicle late and braked hard at 10km/h, but the recognition and braking timings were moderate at other speed levels. At 70km/h, although BYD Tang DM-i had sound and image prompts and braked, the brakes were released before the vehicle stopped completely, which ultimately could only reduce the collision.
Full summary:

　　The above is the BYD Tang DM-i Glory Edition in the home of the actual test standards under the various achievements, can see that the glory version of the model, despite the guide price has been reduced, the configuration has also been upgraded, in the home of the actual test of the results are basically the same as the old model, the strength does not follow the price of discounts, such performance also really confirms the BYD to the year 2024 put forward slogans This kind of performance also confirms the slogan of BYD in 2024 -- "Electricity is lower than oil, and glory strikes again". So, do you have any other questions or insights about the BYD Tang DM-i Glory Edition?
