Engine and Performance
Standard EV: Features a dual-motor All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system producing roughly 510 hp.
Tang L (Flagship): The AWD variant of the "L" is a powerhouse, delivering up to 810 hp and 860 Nm of torque.
Acceleration: The Tang L is incredibly fast for its size, hitting 0–100 km/h in just 3.9 seconds. The standard Tang EV completes the sprint in a respectable 4.9 seconds.
Di-Sus P System: This intelligent hydraulic body control system adjusts the dampers in real-time, allowing the car to "dance" over bumps and stay perfectly level during sharp cornering or heavy braking.
Real-World Range & Charging
Battery: Uses the ultra-safe 108.8 kWh Blade Battery.
Range:
Tang EV: Offers up to 530 km (WLTP).
Tang L: Claims a massive 670–950 km (CLTC) depending on the configuration.
UAE Context: In the peak of summer, you can realistically expect a range of 430–500 km with the AC running at full capacity.
1,000V Architecture: The newest models support ultra-fast DC charging. At a high-speed station, you can add 200 km of range in just 5 minutes.
Cabin Comfort and Practicality
Seating Layout: A true 7-seater with a 2-3-2 or 2-2-3 (Tang L) configuration. The Tang L features "Captain Seats" in the second row with massage, heating, and ventilation.
Infotainment: Features the signature 15.6-inch rotating touchscreen with 5G connectivity. The Tang L adds a dedicated entertainment screen for the front passenger and a ceiling-mounted pop-up screen for rear passengers.
Summer Comfort: Includes ventilated seats and a high-efficiency heat pump system that is optimized for the GCC, ensuring the cabin stays cool without draining the battery excessively.
Storage: With all seats up, boot space is roughly 200 liters, but it expands to over 1,600 liters with the rear rows folded flat.
Infotainment and Tech
DiPilot 300: A Level 2+ driver assistance suite that includes LiDAR-based features like automatic lane changes, remote parking, and full-speed adaptive cruise control.
NFC Key: You can unlock and start the car using your smartphone or an NFC card—handy if you don’t want to carry a bulky key fob.
V2L (Vehicle-to-Load): You can plug in a coffee machine, a grill, or even lights for a desert camp directly into the car’s charging port.
Dealer Warranty and Service (Al-Futtaim Electric Mobility)
Pricing: The Tang EV typically starts around AED 220,000, while the flagship Tang L can reach AED 280,000+.
Warranty: A standard 6-year/150,000 km vehicle warranty.
Battery Warranty: The Blade Battery is covered for 8 years or 160,000 km with a 1-to-1 replacement guarantee if health drops below 70%.
Service: Five conveniently located service centers across the UAE with technicians specifically trained for EV maintenance.
Best Suited For
- Families who need a legitimate 7-seater with luxury-grade interior materials
- Long-distance commuters who want one of the largest batteries available on the market.
- Drivers who value safety and want the peace of mind offered by the "Blade Battery."
Not Suited For
- People who prefer a compact, easy-to-park hatchback (the Tang is over 5 meters long).
- Drivers who find the rotating screen "gimmicky" and prefer a fixed dashboard layout.
