Electric SUV With 7 Seats By BYD Receives Facelift, Gains Range With Larger Battery, and Anticipates Future of Ultra-Fast Charging; Understand the News and Challenges of the Model in Brazil.

The BYD Tan 2025 arrives in the Brazilian market with important updates. This seven-seat electric SUV received a facelift and, more crucially, a larger capacity battery, now at 108.8 kWh. The combined power of its electric motors reaches 517 horsepower.

Although it represents the technological pinnacle of the brand in the country, the BYD Tan 2025 faces a paradox: low sales volume despite BYD’s dominance in the electric segment. The brand also signals a future revolution in charging, promising powers of up to 1 MW. We analyze what has changed, how it drives, and the factors behind its market performance.

Renovated Visual and Imposing Dimensions in the BYD Tan 2025

The facelift of the BYD Tan 2025 brought a visual identity more aligned with purely electric vehicles. The previous front grille, reminiscent of combustion cars, was replaced by a more closed and modern design. The full LED adaptive headlights, with integrated fog and curve functions, were retained and praised for their efficiency.

Updated Powertrain: More Battery, More Torque in the BYD Tan 2025

The most significant change is under the floor. The battery of the BYD Tan 2025 grew from 86.4 kWh to 108.8 kWh (LFP technology – lithium iron phosphate). This increase added 141 kg to the vehicle, which now weighs 2,630 kg.

The power remains at 517 hp, but the torque increased to 71.4 kgfm (previously around 69 kgfm), distributed between the two motors (one on each axle), ensuring all-wheel drive (AWD). In tests, the acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h was recorded at 5.0 seconds, a remarkable time for its weight.

Range and the Promise of Ultra-Fast Charging

With the new battery, the BYD Tan 2025 homologated 430 km of range in the Inmetro cycle (PBEV), which corresponds to an efficiency of approximately 3.95 km/kWh. Tests under real conditions indicated averages of 4.27 km/kWh on the highway (about 465 km of range) and close to 5 km/kWh in the city (over 500 km).

In charging, the BYD Tan 2025 accepts:

Alternating Current (AC): Up to 11 kW, taking about 10 hours for a full charge (0-100%).
Direct Current (DC): Up to 170 kW (CCS2 standard).

BYD recently announced its next-generation charging technology, capable of reaching 1 MW (1000 kW). This would allow adding about 2 km of range per second, enabling substantial charges (e.g., 10-80%) in just 4 to 5 minutes for batteries like the one in the Tan. Important: this 1 MW technology is not present in the current 2025 model, being a promise for future generations and dependent on compatible charger infrastructure.

The cost of fast charging (DC) can be a point of concern. In a cited example, charging 44 kWh cost R$ 146 (at R$ 3.30/kWh), adding about 180 km of range. This amount would be enough to buy approximately 24 liters of gasoline, which would yield more kilometers in an efficient combustion car.

Luxurious and Technological Interior

The interior finish of the BYD Tan 2025 aims for the premium segment, with high-quality materials such as leather (available in “sweet milk” color), suede, soft-touch, and black piano details. The space is ample for five occupants, with the third row being more suitable for children or short trips.

Highlights include the panoramic sunroof, the multimedia center with a 15.6-inch rotating screen (with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay), Head-Up Display (HUD), premium sound system by Dinaudio, and a complete package of driver assistance features (ADAS), including adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and automatic emergency braking.

Market Positioning

Although it is the “showcase car” for BYD in Brazil, showcasing the maximum of its technology and luxury, the BYD Tan 2025 (current price R$ 536,800) does not replicate the sales success of its more accessible siblings, such as Dolphin and Song Plus.

Fewer than 500 units have been sold since its launch in 2022. Factors include the high price, the brand’s perception still being built in the Brazilian premium segment and the high initial depreciation, common in luxury EVs. It serves more as a “piranha bait,” attracting customers to the brand and demonstrating technological capability, who then opt for lower-value models.

Engineers want to carve through Africa with a giant canal to bring water from the world’s second-largest river to a dying lake on the edge of the Sahara Desert that has already lost 90% of its water.

Brazil filled the Northeast with wind turbines but now faces the side effect of 705 giant blades reaching the end of their lifespan by 2032 just in Rio Grande do Norte, while the world projects 43 million tons of waste by 2050.

India approved the country’s first submerged road-rail tunnel, 15.8 kilometers dug under the bed of the Brahmaputra River.

Instead of burning or burying old tires, an American city is transforming about 2,000 of them into the street itself, paving its first sections with a quieter and more durable rubber asphalt.

In just one cast, fishermen are surprised to capture 14,096 mullets in Bombinhas and close a historic season with 58,000 fish; scene recorded in the Santa Catarina paradise marks the last day of the 2026 season.

10 giant tortoises are reintroduced and, in just 6 months, trigger changes that lead scientists to investigate a phenomenon absent for 180 years; the numbers recorded on the island impress researchers from around the world.

Greek island offers free housing for volunteers, but there’s a condition: you need to take care of rescued cats.

What many people consider a weed has become a bicycle in the hands of a Chilean. José Tomás transforms coligüe, a native bamboo that grows up to five times faster than pine, into bikes, canes, and cutlery.

Only 28% of the ocean floor has been accurately mapped, less than what is already known about the surface of Mars and the Moon, and scientists consider the topic strategic for Brazil, with a global goal to map everything by 2030.

Japan wants to bury a 500 km “cargo conveyor” between Tokyo and Osaka to replace up to 25,000 trucks per day, move goods through tunnels and automated driverless corridors, and avoid a logistical collapse in an increasingly aging country.

GAC launches “Chinese hybrid Kombi” with 7 seats cheaper than Tiggo 8 Pro Plug-in Hybrid in Brazil; for around R$ 177,000 in conversion without taxes, the Trumpchi E8 PHEV has a 2.0 engine, DHT transmission, an electric range of 150 km, and a premium family cabin for those living in China.
