BYD has announced that its new Dynasty 9-series flagship sedan, the Han EV, is now arriving at dealerships across 32 cities in China. This highly anticipated electric vehicle made its debut with pre-sale announcements at the Chengdu Auto Show, with pricing starting from 249,900 yuan.
A Closer Look at the BYD Han EV
The Han EV boasts an imposing presence with its dimensions: a length of 5256mm, a width of 1999mm, and a height of 1510mm, all supported by a substantial 3130mm wheelbase. Inside, the vehicle features a wrap-around cockpit design, offering an impressive 90.8% interior space utilization. This translates to a class-leading longitudinal space of 2005mm and a lateral space of 1580mm.
Comfort and practicality are key highlights. The Han EV includes a ‘central bed mode’ that allows for a one-button flat lay, transforming the cabin into a relaxing space. Storage is also abundant, with a 130L front trunk and a total of 46 storage compartments and expansion points throughout the vehicle.
Premium Features for a Flagship Experience
BYD has equipped the Han EV with a suite of premium features designed to enhance the driving and passenger experience. This includes front zero-gravity seats for ultimate comfort, a Devialet 31-speaker audio system, and ‘Amber Stream’ ambient lighting that synchronizes with the music.
Further enhancing the cabin’s tranquility are four-door silent laminated glass and over 130 acoustic material applications. A standout feature is the intelligent dimming privacy glass, which is the world’s first black PDLC (Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal) adjustable glass. This technology provides excellent heat insulation and sun protection while maintaining privacy.
