The BYD DaHan is the new flagship sedan in BYD’s Dynasty series. After the usual launch phase, it is now available in China in three different versions, priced between 235,900 and 275,900 yuan, which is roughly equivalent to 30,700 and 35,900 euros.
It is the brand’s first D-segment sedan and also the first in its new 9-series, positioned above the BYD Han. The goal is clear: to surpass Mercedes-Benz Class S, BMW Series 7, and Audi A8, which remain considered the top flagship sedans in the market. BYD aims to enter that elite category that has so far seemed out of reach for them.
A 5.26-meter car that handles like an urban vehicle
The dimensions of the Da Han are quite impressive: 5,256 millimeters in length, 1,999 in width, and 1,510 in height, with a wheelbase of 3,130 millimeters. It is larger than any previous Han model and very close in size to the three competitors we’ve already mentioned.
To ensure this size doesn’t pose a problem in urban areas, it features rear-wheel steering. Thanks to this, its turning radius remains at 4.95 meters, on par with smaller urban cars. Parking a sedan over five meters long is no longer a challenge. All versions come equipped with dual-chamber air suspension (DiSus-A).
102 kWh Blade Battery and Over 1,000 Kilometers of Range
The DaHan uses BYD’s second-generation Blade battery, with a capacity of 102,326 kWh. This allows it to achieve up to 1,008 kilometers of range in China’s CLTC cycle, which is more generous than the WLTP standard used in Europe. The European rating is estimated to be around 820 kilometers of range.
This figure applies to the rear-wheel-drive version, which has 503 horsepower. The all-wheel-drive version achieves 880 kilometers (CLTC) of range. Part of the reason for this excellent range is its aerodynamic design, with a drag coefficient of just 0.197. When using fast charging at compatible high-power stations, it can go from 10% to 97% charge in nine minutes.
The high-performance variant features two engines and all-wheel drive, delivering 775 horsepower and 910 Nm of torque. This enables it to accelerate from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in 3.3 seconds—figures typical of a sports car for a sedan of this size—although its certified fuel consumption rises to 13.1 kWh/100 km (CLTC).
Designed for rear-seat comfort
As a proper executive sedan, the rear seats are a focus of attention. They come with electric lumbar support, ventilation, heating, and massage functions. The climate control, seat positions, and curtains can be adjusted via a screen on the central armrest, while there is also a ceiling screen along with privacy glass with intelligent dimming.
The DaHan arrives at an opportune time for the Dynasty lineup. Its large SUV, the BYD DaTang, sold 10,997 units in September and led its segment in China. So far, the Qin, Song, and Yuan models dominated sales volumes, and BYD now aims to add more expensive models with higher profit margins.
What about in Europe?
For now, the DaHan is a model intended for China, and BYD has not mentioned any plans to bring it to Europe. Its size and design would fit well in a market still dominated by German sedans, but the final price here would depend on tariffs, WLTP certification, and equipment. It remains to be seen whether BYD will dare to introduce it and what its actual range will be. If it does make it to our shores, it likely won’t arrive before next spring, with an estimated selling price of 90,000 or 100,000 euros.
