BYD Tang 100 Technical Breakdown: Three Key Innovations Behind the 4.9-Second Acceleration
In the spring of 2014, BYD launched its groundbreaking “542†strategy, promising a vehicle that could accelerate to 100 km/h in under 5 seconds, drive all four wheels, and consume less than 2 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers. At that time, only a few manufacturers were seriously investing in electric vehicles, and BYD was not yet a household name. However, it quickly became a leader in the new energy sector, earning the nickname "Only buy BYD" among car enthusiasts.
After three years of development and continuous improvements, the 542 technology has become the core of the BYD brand. The Tang model, the first to carry the 542 tag, has evolved into the Tang 100, a plug-in hybrid SUV with an impressive pure electric range. This model is part of the "Electric Future" series and offers consumers more high-quality choices. Before diving into its features, let's explore the advanced technology behind this remarkable vehicle.
**Core Highlight 1: The First Triple-Motor Drive System – Behind the 4.9 Seconds Lies Cutting-Edge Technology**
Opening the hood, you’ll find a 2.0T turbocharged engine producing 151 kW and 320 Nm of torque. Alongside this, two high-powered motors are installed—one above the front axle and one on the transaxle. These motors are permanent magnet synchronous types, capable of reaching speeds up to 12,000 rpm, which is faster than the BMW i3 (11,400 rpm) and even the Tesla Model S (8,600 rpm).
The motor’s power density is 3.9 kW/kg, nearly double that of the BMW i3. With a maximum efficiency of 96%, these motors outperform many competitors. Together, the front and rear motors deliver 220 kW of power and 500 Nm of torque. In hybrid mode, the system can reach 371 kW and 820 Nm—equivalent to two Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4s running simultaneously.
When you hit the accelerator, the motor takes precedence, delivering full torque instantly. The system ensures balanced power distribution to prevent wheel slippage, and when needed, the internal combustion engine kicks in for maximum performance.
**Core Highlight 2: Extreme Speed Electric Four-Wheel Drive – Efficient and Versatile**
Unlike traditional four-wheel drive systems that rely on complex mechanical linkages, BYD’s electric four-wheel drive uses a single wire to connect the front and rear motors. This design reduces cost, improves efficiency, and eliminates space issues in the cabin.
There are multiple driving modes available:
- **Sports Mode (HEV):** The three engines work together, achieving 0–100 km/h in just 1.89 seconds.
- **Economy Mode (EV):** The front and rear motors operate efficiently, consuming only 17 kWh/100 km—better than the Tesla Model S 90D.
- **Driving Power Generation Mode:** When the battery is low, the front motor generates power while the rear motor and engine work together.
- **Idle Power Generation Mode:** The engine charges the battery during stops, ensuring power availability even in emergencies.
**Core Highlight 3: Silent Innovation – Ternary Lithium Battery with Star Aura**
From lithium iron phosphate to ternary lithium batteries, BYD has made significant progress. The Tang 100 uses a 23 kWh ternary lithium battery with an energy density of 277 mAh/g—60% higher than older models. This allows for a longer range and better weight distribution.
The battery also boasts excellent longevity, with less than 8% degradation after six years. Additionally, the vehicle’s NVH, suspension, and steering have been optimized for a smoother ride.
**Summary: Superior Three-Electric Technology with Maturity**
BYD Tang 100 is a benchmark in the new energy vehicle market. Its triple-electric system, efficient battery solution, and fully integrated production process ensure high consistency and safety. Engineers continue to refine the technology, aiming for even faster acceleration times in future iterations.
As the flagship model, the Tang 100 is leading the way in the new energy industry. Many tech-savvy fans consider the 542 technology as the key factor in their purchase decisions, and some even call it the Tesla-level technology in China’s automotive field.
0.96inch OLED
In terms of display effect, the advantages of OLED screens are too attractive compared to LCD screens. The OLED screen has the function of individually controlling the pixels. In daily use, not every scene needs to light up all the pixels of the screen. Therefore, it can display a more pure black effect, and can also achieve 1000000:1 in terms of contrast ratio, so that the bright places are bright enough, and the dark places are very dark, bringing a more realistic display effect.
In addition, compared with LCD screens, OLED screens have removed components such as backlights and polarizers. In terms of sliding and touch, OLED screens can provide a touch response speed of 0.2ms, and dynamic content such as content sliding and games. In the scene, the OLED screen can provide a clearer look and feel.
It is precisely because of this that more and more notebook manufacturers are beginning to deploy and promote OLED screens on their own products to further improve the display effect of their own products. Among the notebook computer manufacturers, ASUS is the most active. The slogan of #ASUSscreen# has been played before, and with the help of high-quality OLED screens, it brings a more amazing display effect than LCD. The recently launched new product, the ASUS Unparalleled series, has brought the 120Hz high-brush OLED screen to the 5K price range, reducing the dimension of products at the same price.
