The Han EV was notable for being the earliest Chinese car that is capable of a 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) acceleration in around 3 seconds.

[2] In 2025, BYD introduced the Han L, a slightly larger sedan with an all-new ground-up design, updated equipment and more powerful powertrain.

The Han was preceded by the E-SEED GT concept car, presented at the 2019 Shanghai Auto Show.

The concept car is a coupe that features gullwing doors, an all-wheel drive layout, and a 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) time of less than 4 seconds.

[3] The first pictures of the production model BYD Han were released in January 2020, prior to its introduction at the planned Beijing Auto Show in April 2020.

The "Flagship" model (旗舰型) is a four-wheel drive with an additional 200 kW (268 hp; 272 PS) rear motor, bringing the total power output to 363 kW (487 hp; 494 PS), and reportedly can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in just 3.9 seconds.

[1] It is rated at a NEDC all-electric range of 550 km (340 mi) with more added features than the "Majestic" model.

It also includes the DiSus-C intelligent damping system, which adjusts suspension for comfort or stability.

[15][16]The Han EV won the 2021 iF Design Award, the first ever sedan model from a Chinese car brand.

It being pitched against medium and large pure electric sedans for the high-end online ride-hailing market.

[22] The interior of the Han L is also claimed to incorporate influences from traditional Chinese clothing and other cultural elements.

[21] Power is supplied by a FinDreams 83.2 kWh LFP battery pack which supports dual-dispenser DC charging.
