Today, let’s dive into the newly released 2025 BYD Han and see if this new model can truly impress. BYD has pulled out all the stops to launch this fresh addition to their lineup. So, what's the story behind this car? Let’s take a closer look.
The new BYD Han comes equipped with the latest DM5.0 five-link rear suspension and an 800V pure electric platform, both of which give off a strong tech vibe. It also sports a new “Weiyang Grey” paint job, which is quite an upgrade. As for the powertrain, it sticks to a familiar formula: a 1.5T engine paired with an E-CVT. The total output of the electric motor has seen a significant boost, and it can go from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.9 seconds—a stat that’s a little exciting, right?
However, the car’s main selling point is its low fuel consumption. BYD claims that the minimum fuel consumption with a low battery is just 3.8L/100km, though this figure is based on the NEDC standard, which is known to be a bit lenient. Under the stricter WLTC standard, the figure would likely rise by about 1L/100km. So, let’s keep that in mind and not be too dazzled by the numbers. Speaking of which, you might be wondering about the car's performance. To be honest, both the plug-in hybrid and pure electric versions of the new BYD Han are front-wheel drive. It seems BYD is targeting the family car market with this model, taking a more affordable approach.
Now, let’s talk about the 800V charging technology. It’s indeed quite advanced, but unfortunately, it’s not standard. It’s only available on the higher-end versions of the Han EV series. As for the range, the lower-end pure electric versions offer a range of 506 km and 605 km, while the higher-end version can go up to 701 km. However, compared to its competitors in the mid-range plug-in hybrid sedan category, this range isn’t particularly outstanding. Models like the Leapmotor C01 Extended Range and Neta S Extended Range have pure electric ranges exceeding 200 km.
Another major highlight is the DiPilot 300 advanced intelligent driving system, which offers automated driving assistance for both urban and highway settings. But this feature is only available on the laser radar-equipped version. The other versions stick to the traditional L2 level intelligent driving assistance systems. Still, this represents a significant breakthrough for BYD, as this is their first mass-produced car to feature standard laser radar.
As for pricing, the new BYD Han is priced between 165.800 RMB and 225.800 RMB, while the pure electric version ranges from 179.800 RMB to 235.800 RMB. Although there’s no all-wheel-drive version, considering its positioning and features, these prices seem reasonable. Of course, whether it’s worth buying depends on your specific needs and budget. After all, buying a car is all about finding what suits you best!
In conclusion, the 2025 BYD Han might not offer many jaw-dropping features, but it does come with several improvements in the details. While it may not be the brightest star on the market, for consumers seeking practicality and economy, it could be a solid option. Oh, and remember to be savvy when buying a car—after all, you get what you pay for!
