Does the BYD Tang EV come close to direct competitors like the Mercedes-Benz EQC or the Audi E-Tron?
The BYD Tang is available as a conventional ICE-powered vehicle, a combustion-electric hybrid version, or as an all-electric version. The BYD Tang EV has been proven successful in China, and the PHEV version has become very popular. But the all-electric version isn’t bad at all, although we’ll need to compare it to its direct competitors just to be sure.

The Riva takes into account how much the car gets for the money and how it compares to well-known competitors that usually cost a bit more than the BYD Tang EV.
