Although Han is not BYD's most popular single series, in last year's sales results, this flagship sedan is the highest selling of all BYD pure electric models, with a total sales volume of 86,901 units in the whole year, ranking 7th even among all new energy models in the world.
The car is about to carry another of BYD's most popular artifacts, the DM-i plug-in hybrid system, and will open pre-sales in late February.

After this annual change, BYDHan's combat effectiveness will be greatly improved.
First of all, the body length of the new Han DM-i will be 15mm longer than the old DM model, reaching 4975mm, the width and height will remain unchanged at 1910mm and 1495mm, and the wheelbase will remain 2920mm. This size is between the Audi A4L and the A6L, and it is very imposing.
The shape design of the new car basically continues the direction of the old DM model, but a circle of chrome trim is added to the edge of the front grille, and the style of the air intakes on both sides is modified, which is more sporty.

There is no exact news about the interior, but with reference to the previous DM-i models of other series, there should be a slight upgrade to the interior panels and materials, and the key is that the engine system of the central control screen will be upgraded from DiLink 3.0 to DiLink 4.0 5G.
The biggest surprise of the new Han PHEV comes from the powertrain, which will switch from the old DM-p to DM-i.
Although there is only a one-letter difference, the underlying structure of the two hybrid systems is very different. DM-p is more simply to play the performance advantages of the motor, and does not fully tap the potential of the gasoline engine. Therefore, the feeder fuel consumption of the old Han DM is 5.9L/100km (working condition test data), but this figure will soar when driving in the urban area.
The new DM-i system is to use the motor to make up for the shortcomings of the low efficiency of the fuel engine, even if the fuel consumption of the daily urban driving is expected to be controlled within 5L/100km, which is more practical for users who are inconvenient to charge.
For users with charging conditions, BYD is very generous this time, and will provide two capacity battery packs of 18.3kwh and 37.6kwh for the new Han DM-i, so that the pure electric mileage of the new car will reach 121lm, 202km and 242km.
Due to the increase in battery capacity and reduced fuel consumption, the full fuel and full power cruising range of Han DM-i will reach a maximum of 1300km! Equivalent to the mileage of three tanks of fuel in the same level of fuel vehicles!
As for why the capacity of the two battery packs will correspond to three pure electric endurances, this is because BYD has prepared a four-wheel drive high-performance version of "three-engine power" for Han DM-i.

However, unlike the new Tang PHEV, the four-wheel drive version of Han will still be based on DM-i, but an electric motor is added to the rear axle to intervene in time. Compared with the DM-p structure of Tang DM, the han DM-i four-wheel drive version has the same explosive power, but in the hybrid mode, the fuel consumption is lower and it is more practical.
Sharp-eyed friends may also find that the engine of the new Han MD-i has changed from the old 141kw 2.0T to 102kw 1.5T, is that "reduced"?
No, the reason behind this is the difference between DM-p and DM-i. Under the old DM-p structure, if the battery is out of power and the engine is to drive the vehicle directly, it must rely on the 2.0T engine to better push this big guy weighing more than 2 tons. Under the DM-i architecture, the fuel engine is only responsible for power generation most of the time, and the drive is basically completed by the motor. Relying on the characteristics of 100% release of the motor's large torque at any time, the engine only needs to consider high efficiency, and the output power does not have to be too high.
Of course, BYD has not yet released the performance data of Han DM-i, but it is basically certain that the 0-100km/h acceleration of the high-performance four-wheel drive model will be about 5 seconds, which is similar to the 4.7 seconds of the old Han DM.
The price of the new Han DM-i is currently 220,000-300,000 yuan, which means that the price of the entry-level rear-drive model is close to that of the old Han DM, and the long-endurance model and high-performance four-wheel drive version are added. This pricing strategy is a bit bold, but looking at the sales of Han EV, and considering the characteristics of Han DM-i, which can be used both on the green card and can be completely fueled, I believe there is still a market.
What do you think?
Han DM-i will soon announce the pre-price and detailed configuration information, if you are interested in this car, please pay attention, like, leave a message, tram man EVman priority for you to pay attention to, and in the first time to tell you how the real driving experience of this car is. It is 4960/1910/1495mm, with a wheelbase of 2920mm, positioning medium and large plug-in hybrid cars. From the declaration information, we can also see that the new car also has special colors of brake calipers and wheel styles to choose from, is it true that this car also has a sport version?
