About the BYD Tang

Start by typing the VIN of your car BYD Tang into the box; the decoder reads the code and reports the maker, the model year and the country of origin. In our database the car BYD Tang covers 2015 - 2022. It has 3 versions in total, is offered as SUV and lists power of 205 hp. The decoder reads the world manufacturer identifier in characters 1 to 3, the model year in character 10 and the plant in character 11 where one is coded.

Past damage, odometer values, theft records and the number of owners are not part of a VIN, so no decoder can read them from the code alone. A separate history check is needed for that. When viewing a model BYD Tang, copy the VIN from the vehicle yourself instead of trusting the number in the listing, then compare it character by character with the documents.
