Tang DM and Volvo XC60, how to choose the right one?Both cars have advantages

Mondo Cars Updated on 2024-01-31

After the Volvo XC60 has been significantly reduced, the current XC60 is actually quite cost-effective. After all, the price of its entry-level model has reached less than 300,000 yuan. So between 300,000 Volvo XC60 and more than 200,000 BYD Tang DM, how would you choose?In fact, there is no comparison between the two cars at all.

I will not report the parameters of the two cars, because the parameters are very meaningless. As a plug-in hybrid model, the Tang DM reaches a maximum power of 441kW and a torque of 950 Nm. Obviously a lot better than the Volvo XC60, and not just the XC60. You'd be hard-pressed to find a car in the entire market with stronger parameters than this Don DM.

This is the most persistent thing for Don DM fans. In terms of power, can the Tang DM really compete with other models and even luxury brand models?Not necessarily, I'm afraid I'm afraid it's not that other manufacturers don't agree, but that consumers don't agree. If you ask any average consumer how to choose the Don DM and XC60.

Most people will tell you that the Don DM and XC60 are not in the same class. Models are completely incomparable. BYD Tang DM: The official guide price is 23.99 million to 32.99 million yuan. There are no official discounts yet. It is positioned as a plug-in hybrid midsize SUV of its own brand. The body dimensions are 4870, 1950, 1725mm in length, width and height.

The wheelbase is 2820mm. Initially, there are 7-seat versions to choose from. , and recently added a 5-seater version. The power consists of a 20t engine and dual front and rear motors. The 20t engine has a maximum power of 205 hp and a peak torque of 320 Nm. The dual motors have a total power of 290kW and a peak torque of 630Nm. It is mated to a six-speed dual-clutch gearbox.

It is electronically controlled all-wheel drive with a rear axle differential lock as standard. Volvo XC60: The official guide price is 36.99 million yuan - 47.99 million yuan, and the dealer reference price is 31.69 million yuan - 42.59 million yuan. Positioned as a luxury brand mid-size SUV, the body size is 4688 1902 1658mm in length, width and height, and the wheelbase is 2865mm. There are 5 seats in the entire series.

It is equipped with a high- and low-power 20-ton turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 190 hp and 254 hp, respectively, and a peak torque of 300 Nm and 350 Nm, respectively. It is mated to an 8-speed automatic manual transmission, front-wheel drive, and front four-wheel drive. (Full-time four-wheel drive with multi-plate clutch). The BYD Tang DM is a plug-in hybrid drive system.

I believe that plug-in hybrid is the most reasonable and reliable new energy vehicle. The performance of Don DM is really outstanding. The ride quality of the hybrid is not at all that of a gasoline vehicle. It can be compared, and the configuration of Tang DM is very rich and complete, and the space is also very spacious, and Tang DM can also get a green card.

This can be said to be good news in first-tier cities, but the reliability and stability of Tang DM are poor compared with fuel vehicles, and the value retention rate is also low. In terms of fuel consumption, the built-in 100 km pure electric range of the Tang DM is very important for short-distance travel, especially for urban commuting. Fuel consumption of gasoline-powered cars in cities will rise sharply.

The city fuel consumption of XC60 is about 10-13L, and Tang DM can travel with low fuel consumption and save a lot of fuel money. If you're driving at high speeds, the Tang DM's built-in 20T engine means you don't have to worry about mileage. Where the XC60 can go, Don DM can go. In terms of quality, Tang DM seems to have a complex structure, but the actual quality is not bad.

From a structural point of view, motors, batteries, and electronic controls are all components that are not easy to be damaged. If they are damaged, they are guaranteed to be replaced during the warranty period. The engine and six-speed wet dual-clutch transmission are very mature products of BYD, and the quality is stable after years of use. This pursuit of stability makes Tang DM, a car with a seemingly complex structure, as stable as an old dog.

To sum up, the BYD Tang DM is indeed a good car. Whether it is performance or power, whether it is configuration or driving quality, it can be said to be the pinnacle of domestic production. However, I recommend BYD Tang DM to those who need a green card. For those who buy, if you don't need a green label, I recommend buying XC60, because as a luxury brand, XC60 has much better mechanical properties, details, branding, appearance, materials, and safety than Tang DM.
