The BYD Great Han breaks conventions with 1008 km of range and a 9-minute charge time

On October 13th, BYD will launch the Great Han in China, its largest and most luxurious sedan. This model features an aerodynamic drag coefficient of just 0.197; additionally, its rear-wheel-drive version will have a CLTC range of 1,008 km, making it one of China’s most capable BEV (Battery Electric Vehicles).

This luxury sedan measures 5,256 mm in length, 1,999 mm in width, and 1,510 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3,130 mm. When pre-orders opened last August, its prices ranged from 249,900 to 299,900 yuan (33,187 to 39,827 euros at the exchange rate). Deliveries to customers will begin two weeks after its official launch.

No matter which version is chosen, the Great Han always comes equipped with a 102.3 kWh LFP (lithium-iron-phosphate) battery. The rear-wheel-drive model delivers 503 HP (370 kW) and can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.9 seconds. Its low energy consumption (11.5 kWh/100 km) explains its generous CLTC range of 1,008 km.

The top-tier model features two electric motors and all-wheel drive. In this case, the maximum power is 775 HP (570 kW), allowing it to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.3 seconds, with a CLTC range of 880 km. As can be seen, three-motor configurations are reserved for Denza models, while four-motor versions are available for Yangwang models.

The BYD Great Han will feature the DiSus-A air suspension

As expected, the Great Han uses second-generation Blade batteries; therefore, it is compatible with the Flash Charging 2.0 ultra-fast charging system. This means it can go from 10% to 70% charge in 5 minutes and from 10% to 97% in 9 minutes. Additionally, at an ambient temperature of -30 ºC, it only takes 12 minutes to charge from 20% to 97%.

All Great Hans will come equipped with a rear-wheel steering system, which allows the turning radius to be reduced to 4.95 meters. The DiSus-A dual-chamber air suspension will also be standard. The interior will feature a 17.3-inch touchscreen, and the infotainment system will be paired with a Devialet sound system featuring 31 speakers.

The Nappa leather interior and front seats with Zero Gravity positioning are also worth highlighting. The God's Eye 5.0 driving assistance system is included as well, using a LiDAR on the roof to enable NOA (Navigate on Autopilot) not only on highways but also in urban areas.
