The BYD Tan L has just been registered in Brazil, reinforcing the indications that the new generation of the brand’s large SUV is close to hitting the national market. The model, recently launched in China, was included in the registry of the National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI) in October, confirming the automaker’s intention to expand its presence here. The car has already been seen testing on Brazilian streets and is expected to be one of BYD’s major bets for 2025.

In China, the Tan L is offered in fully electric (BEV) and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) versions, with the latter being the most likely for the Brazilian market. The large SUV features a robust look and cleaner lines, inaugurating the brand’s new design language. It measures 5.04 meters in length, 1.99 in width, and 1.76 in height, with a wheelbase of 2.95 meters. The model can have six or seven seats, depending on the configuration, and is positioned above the Tan EV, currently sold in Brazil.

Inside, the BYD Tan L bets on a luxurious environment with two-tone finishes, a complete digital dashboard, and a central 15.6-inch screen. The SUV also features the DiLink 150 multimedia system, a head-up display with augmented reality (AR-HUD), and the advanced DiPilot 300 driver assistance package, which can include LiDAR sensors mounted on the roof. This technology is part of the semi-autonomous system called “God’s Eyes,” capable of detecting obstacles, braking automatically, keeping the car in its lane, and even parking by itself. There are 12 cameras and 18 radars working together to provide more safety and comfort.

The plug-in hybrid (PHEV) version is the most interesting for the Brazilian audience, combining a 1.5 turbo gasoline engine with 156 horsepower with two electric motors. This configuration promises acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.3 seconds, performance worthy of sports cars. The average consumption is 5.6 liters per 100 kilometers, and the 35.6 kWh battery allows for a range of up to 215 kilometers on electric power alone.

The 100% electric (BEV) version uses BYD’s famous Blade battery, with a capacity of 100.5 kWh and a range between 560 and 670 kilometers, depending on the version. The electric system of 1,000 volts enables ultra-fast charging, recovering up to 400 kilometers of range in just five minutes.

But what really stands out on the BYD Tan L is its most unusual feature: the drone installed on the roof. Developed in partnership with DJI, the equipment is stored in an aerodynamic compartment and can be launched with the car stationary or in motion. It follows the vehicle, capturing aerial images in high resolution and automatically returning to its compartment when the battery is low. The range reaches 2 kilometers, and the charging is done directly via the car’s system. This function is primarily aimed at recordings, travel vlogs, and even monitoring off-road routes, depending on the version.

Prices in China range from 229,800 to 289,800 yuan, which is equivalent to about R$ 174,000 to R$ 220,000 in direct conversion, although prices in Brazil are expected to be much higher. The current model, the Tan EV, starts at R$ 539,800. The new Tan L is expected to occupy the upper range, reinforcing BYD’s strategy to compete with electrified luxury SUVs. There is still no official date for the launch, but the registry at the INPI and local testing indicate that the debut is near.

BYD Tan L Is a 7-Seater SUV That Has a Drone on the Roof: Find Out What It’s For and When It Arrives in Brazil

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

After ten days orbiting the Moon, science confirms that the astronauts of the Artemis II mission return with altered bodies.

Peru built a tunnel at an altitude of 4,738 meters cutting through the Andes Mountains, and the road leading to it reaches 4,818 meters, making it the highest paved road in the entire world.

In the Saudi Arabian desert, the world’s largest green hydrogen plant is 80% complete and will use 4 gigawatts of solar and wind energy to produce 600 tons of clean fuel per day when it opens in 2027.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

Kia notifies Chinese manufacturer selling the cheapest electric vehicle in Brazil for misuse of the names EV2 and EV3.

IBGE data shows that Brazilians are increasingly far from owning their own homes: rents are skyrocketing, apartments are taking over the capitals, and the Selic rate at 15% makes financing almost prohibitive.

Lula called the tax on t-shirts irrational, then sanctioned the law, and now with the elections approaching, the government is reopening the debate on revoking a tax that has already raised billions and divides ministries, industry, and consumers.

Oil plummets more than 10% and the market turns upside down after Iran opens Hormuz and eases fears about the main route in the Gulf.

A common practice in traffic can be costly: using the hazard lights incorrectly can result in fines, points on your driver’s license, and even towing of the vehicle.
