The BYD Han (Chinese: 比亚迪汉) is a full-size / executive sedan (E-segment) manufactured by the Chinese manufacturer BYD Auto, available in an battery electric variant and a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) variant. It is the latest entry of BYD's "Dynasty" series passenger vehicles, and gets its name from the Han Dynasty, the first golden age of Imperial China. The Han was teased by the E-SEED GT concept, while the first pictures of the production model were released in January 2020.
A version designated for ride-hailing is also available called the BYD e9, while also serving as the flagship of the BYD e-series products.
Overview
Concept
The Han was preceded by the E-SEED GT concept car, presented at the 2019 Shanghai Auto Show. The concept version featured gullwing doors, an all-wheel drive layout, and a 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) time of less than 4 seconds.[1]

Han DM
The Han DM ("dual mode") is the plug-in hybrid variant of the BYD Han, equipped with a 15.2-kilowatt-hour (55 MJ) lithium-ion battery delivering an all-electric range of 81 kilometres (50 mi) rated by the NEDC. The Han DM is developed on the four-wheel drive DM3 platform, with a hybrid drivetrain that produces 180 kW (241 hp; 245 PS) from its rear permanent-magnet synchronous motor and 141 kW (189 hp) from the 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine, bringing the combined output power to 321 kW (430 hp; 436 PS). It has a 6-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and can accelerate from 0 to 100 kilometres per hour (0 to 62 mph) in 4.7 seconds. Based on the NEDC driving cycle, the combined fuel consumption is 1.4 L/100 km (71.4 km/L; 201.8 mpg‑imp; 168.0 mpg‑US), and the fuel consumption of the internal combustion engine is 5.9 L/100 km (16.9 km/L; 47.9 mpg‑imp; 39.9 mpg‑US).[2]
There are two versions of Han DM: the basic "Luxury" model (豪华型) and a more equipped "Majestic" model (尊贵型) with better stereo systems and extra comfort options.

Han EV
The Han EV ("electric vehicle") is the all-electric variant of the BYD Han, and all its models are designed with a 76.9-kilowatt-hour (277 MJ) battery pack, which claims to be rapid-chargeable from 30 to 80% in 25 minutes. The Han EV utilises a new proprietary lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery design which BYD dubbed the "Blade Battery" (刀片电池), claiming to take up less space than a conventional LFP battery of the same energy capacity. BYD also emphasized the Blade Battery's safety against thermal runaway even in case of damage, and showed the results of a test in which the battery was pierced with a nail while a raw chicken egg was placed on top of it. The battery's temperature remained low even after it was pierced, and the egg remained uncooked.[3]
The base model Han EV, called the "Extended Range" model (超长续航版), is front-wheel drive with a reported all-electric range (NEDC) of 605 kilometres (376 mi). It is powered by a 163-kilowatt (219 hp; 222 PS) electric motor that can accelerate from 0 to 100 kilometres per hour (0 to 62 mph) in 7.9 seconds. There are two versions of this base model: the basic "Luxury" model (豪华型), while the more featured "Majestic" model with extra advanced driver-assistance systems, blind spot detection, better stereo systems and other comfort options.
The high-performance "Flagship" model (旗舰型) is four-wheel drive with an additional 200-kilowatt (268 hp; 272 PS) front motor, bringing the total power output to 363 kW (487 hp; 494 PS), and reportedly can accelerate from 0 to 100 kilometres per hour (0 to 62 mph) in just 3.9 seconds.[4] It is rated at a NEDC all-electric range of 550 km (340 mi) with more added features than the "Majestic" model.[5]
There is also a modified version of Han EV, called the BYD e9, with front grille and a reported NEDC all-electric range of 506 kilometres (314 mi), aimed primarily at the peer-to-peer ridesharing market.

It being pitched against medium and large pure electric sedans for the high-end online ride-hailing market. The e9 is largely based on the Han EV and features the Han DM front end styling, with different grille insert and logos. It also uses conventional door handles.
It is available with a single-motor two-front wheel drive model with a maximum power of 163 kW (219 hp; 222 PS), a maximum torque of 330 N⋅m (33.7 kg⋅m; 243 lb⋅ft), an NEDC cruising range of 506 km (314 mi), and an acceleration from 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) in only 7.9 seconds. It takes 30 minutes to charge the power from 30% to 80% with fast charge mode.[6]
