The BYD Tang is a large full-size three-row crossover that covers a big family's needs in one car. Available as a pure EV and as a plug-in hybrid (DM) — and both versions clear at 0% duty in Uzbekistan. Let's go into detail.

Design and interior
The Tang is a solid, status SUV with a massive grille and premium proportions. Inside are three full rows, a large rotating screen, quality finish and a panoramic roof on top versions. The third row is usable by adults over medium distances, and with the seats folded there's a large cargo volume.
Range, drive and capability
The electric Tang covers ~500+ km on CLTC (real ~400–450). All-wheel drive helps in winter and on Uzbekistan's rural and mountain roads. The DM-i suits those without stable charging: electric in the city, petrol on the highway, with huge total range.
Comparison: Tang EV vs a petrol 7-seat SUV
| Criterion | BYD Tang (EV/DM) | Petrol 7-seat SUV |
|---|---|---|
| Clearance | 0% duty | 15–40% duty |
| "Fuel" cost | low | high |
| Maintenance | minimal (EV) | higher |
| Range | EV ~450 / DM 1000+ km | large (petrol) |
| Quiet and smoothness | high | medium |
Clearance and price in Uzbekistan
Both the EV and the plug-in hybrid (DM) clear at 0% duty: 12% VAT + recycling fee. That makes the Tang noticeably cheaper than a petrol 7-seat SUV of the same class facing 15–40% duty. The exact figure is in the calculator; details in the customs guide.
Strengths and things to watch
Pros: 6–7 seats and space, AWD, the Blade battery, zero duty, a choice of EV or hybrid, a status look. Watch for: a large footprint for a tight city; the EV's real range is below the claim — for frequent long trips without charging, the DM-i makes more sense.
Who it's for
The BYD Tang is for a large family that travels together and values space, safety and every passenger's comfort. Home charging — take the EV; often on the road without charging — the DM-i. Availability and prices in the catalog.
