BYD's (HKEX: 1211) all-new Han and third-generation Qin Plus have appeared in Chinese regulatory filings, advancing a refresh of its core sedan lineup.
The 2 models were included in the 412th batch of new vehicle filings released by China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology on Friday, revealing their dimensions and powertrain specifications.
The all-new Han filings cover 3 battery-electric variants and 1 plug-in hybrid variant, all with 5 seats. The sedan measures 5,156 mm long and 1,969 mm wide, with a wheelbase of 3,030 mm.
Compared with the Han EV Flash Charging Edition launched in April, the all-new Han is 161 mm longer and 59 mm wider, with a wheelbase extended by 110 mm.
The electric variants offer single-motor rear-wheel drive and dual-motor all-wheel drive. The 2 rear-wheel-drive variants have peak motor outputs of 245 kW and 300 kW, respectively, both with a top speed of 240 km/h.
The all-wheel-drive variant pairs a 200 kW front motor with a 320 kW (429 hp) rear motor, for a combined peak output of 520 kW and a top speed of 270 km/h.
The plug-in hybrid variant combines a 1.5-liter engine with an electric motor delivering peak power of 200 kW, with a top speed of 200 km/h.
The all-new Han in these filings is a separate model from the Da Han launched by BYD on October 13. The Da Han sits higher in the lineup, measuring 5,256 mm long with a 3,130 mm wheelbase.
The Han refresh comes amid a sharp decline in the series' sales.
