BYD Tang DM-i (2026) vs Mazda CX-30 2.0L HEV (2024): which should you buy?
The BYD Tang DM-i (₱2,148,000) offers more power and a longer warranty, making it the better pick for Filipino buyers prioritizing driving performance and long-term reliability. Its 271 PS engine and 6-year/150,000 km warranty give it a clear edge over the Mazda CX-30’s 155 PS and 3-year/100,000 km coverage. While the CX-30’s AWD and larger interior options add versatility, the Tang’s PHEV powertrain and premium build justify the higher price for those seeking stronger acceleration and peace of mind. For most daily commutes, the CX-30’s AWD and 2+3 layout may suit urban driving better, but the Tang’s 2+3+2 configuration supports greater family capacity. Overall, the BYD Tang is ideal for drivers valuing performance and durability, while the Mazda CX-30 excels for those needing balanced capability and lower cost.
