BYD opens orders for its new flagship EV with over 1,000 km of range for under $40,000

BYD opened orders for the Great Han, its new flagship electric sedan that can drive over 1,000 km (621 mi) on a single charge, starting at under $40,000.

The Great Han, or Da Han as it’s called in China, is the first D-segment flagship sedan under BYD’s Dynasty family.

We got a sneak peek of the new full-size sedan in June after it was revealed in the batch of new energy vehicles approved for sale by China’s MIIT (Ministry of Industry and Information Technology).

Lu Tian, the general manager of BYD’s Dynasty series, confirmed last month that the Great Han would be revealed in full at the Chengdu Motor Show, teasing that “more surprises await.”

Tian also confirmed the electric sedan will offer a CLTC driving range of up to 1,008 km (626 miles) on a single charge.

BYD opened pre-orders for the new Great Han at the event, starting at just 249,900 yuan, or about $37,200.

The flagship sedan is available in three variants with single and all-wheel drive powertrains. Two rear-wheel drive (RWD) options are available: Premium and Flagship, starting at 249,900 yuan ($37,2000) and 269,900 yuan ($40,200).

Both are powered by a single 370 kW (496 hp) motor and 102.326 kWh battery, providing a CLTC driving range of up to 1,008 km (626 miles).

The AWD variant adds a frton electric motor for a combined 570 kW (764 hp). Although it uses the same battery pack as the RWD variants, the AWD version has a CLTC range of 880 km (546 miles).
