How much could you save on the BYD Tang?
Overview
About the BYD Tang
The BYD Tang is the only three-row, seven-seat Chinese EV on Canada's horizon — and at an estimated $65,000 CAD, it costs roughly half of a Tesla Model X or Mercedes EQS SUV. A massive 108 kWh Blade LFP battery, the largest in BYD's lineup, feeds dual motors delivering 380 kW (517 hp) and 680 Nm of torque, good for a 4.4-second sprint to 100 km/h in a vehicle weighing 2,600 kg. Range is 450 km WLTP — realistic in summer, closer to 335 km in a Canadian winter. All seven seats are genuinely usable for adults, a rarity in the segment, though cargo space drops to just 235 litres with the third row up. The LFP chemistry means daily 100% charges pose no degradation risk, and 166 kW DC fast charging brings a 30-to-80% top-up in about 30 minutes. The caveats: at exactly $65,000, the Tang sits at Quebec's Roulez vert cutoff and qualifies for nothing, it is excluded from the federal EVAP rebate as a Chinese-built vehicle, and with an estimated Q4 2026 arrival it is still a waiting game. For large families priced out of the Model X, though, the Tang is the only electric seven-seater under six figures.
Editorial take
Our Verdict
Strengths
- Seven adult-sized seats in an EV — the only option under $100K
- 108 kWh LFP battery: largest Blade pack, daily 100% charging, strong winter chemistry
- Half the price of a Model X or EQS SUV — family-sized EV for SUV money
Watch Out For
- $65,000 sits exactly at Quebec's cutoff — zero Roulez vert rebate
- 235 L cargo with all seats up — you will choose between people and luggage
- Q4 2026 at the earliest; Chinese tariffs add timeline uncertainty

What this means for Canada
Sensor hardware is unusually well documented for this model: eight ultrasonic sensors, five millimetre-wave radars, four surround cameras and one perception camera. Comfort equipment is not — BYD publishes nothing on heated or ventilated seats, climate zones or a heat pump, so we list none.

Equipment compared
Price and range only tell half the story. Here is the equipment, line by line, against the rival you would actually cross-shop.

The two columns do not rest on the same footing. The rival is described from its Canadian specification; the Chinese vehicle from the market where it is actually sold today. Any future Canadian version could differ.
Kia EV9 — Two trim traps worth knowing. The heat pump and heated steering wheel above are standard from the Wind trim up — the entry Light RWD has neither, which matters a lot in this climate. And "GT-Line" is not a trim: it is a $79,495 package on the Land AWD, which is where the head-up display comes from. Kia publishes no peak DC figure in kW, only that 10 to 80% takes as little as 20 minutes, and does not say whether a CCS adapter comes with the NACS port.
"Not published" means the manufacturer does not document this — not that the vehicle lacks it.
