And that for 43.000 euro, the domain of the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. Unfortunately, it remains BYD Tang 542 Plug-In Hybrid for the time being in China.

BYD, one of the most famous Chinese car manufacturers, has already had sneak peeks of the Tang 542, but now the final version is unveiled. Although the name as a pair of Pliers on a pig saves for the Dutch market, however, may be modified, should this Chinese plug-in what concerns us as this side.

Not so much because of the 205 hp strong four-cylinder petrol engine, but especially because of the two 150 horsepower electric motors. With a total power of 505 horsepower pops this very pretty smoelende Chinese SUV in less than 5 seconds to the 100. The fuel consumption would be around 2 litres per 100 kilometres, enough for 7 percent of list price.

Unfortunately, the BYD Tang 542 is not yet to the Netherlands. The brand has plans to the American market to enter, perhaps, that those lucky bastards on the other side of the pond this Chinese bijtellingsmonster get. At the beginning of last year it seemed there still plans to have a plug-in sedan this spring in Europe, it is unclear whether these BYD Qin actually on the nation’s roads are going to encounter.
