The BYD Han is a full-size, all-wheel-drive (AWD) electric sedan manufactured by the Chinese automaker BYD Auto. The Han has been awarded the iF Design Award, one of the most prestigious and recognized international design honors.
It utilizes a new proprietary lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery design known as the Blade battery, which takes up less space than a conventional LFP battery of the same capacity. The Blade battery is also designed to be safer against thermal runaway, even in the case of damage. With an 84.5 kWh capacity, the battery is claimed to reach up to 521 km on a single charge, although actual mileage may vary based on driving habits. The Han accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds and has a top speed of 180 km/h.
The Han features a luxurious interior with premium materials. The center console includes a 15.6-inch multimedia touchscreen, enhancing the driving experience. The driver benefits from a 5-inch full LCD instrument panel and an eight-way electrically adjustable seat, while the passenger's seat is six-way adjustable. For all-season comfort, both front and rear seats are ventilated and cooled. A multifunctional pad in the rear seat armrest adds to passenger comfort for adjusting the seat, sunroof, and ambient light, and controlling temperature and airflow with the AC panel.
Competing directly with the Mercedes EQS and Tesla Model S, the BYD Han offers comparable build quality and luxury but at a significantly lower price. Here's a list of the BYD Han's price in Europe.
