BYD Da Han EV Pre-Sales Open With 1,008 Km CLTC Range

BYD Da Han EV Enters Pre-Sales

BYD Company Limited has started pre-sales of the Da Han, a new flagship sedan positioned within its Dynasty lineup, with the all-electric version offering a CLTC range of up to 1,008 km. The BYD Da Han EV made its official debut on Friday, the opening day of the 2026 Chengdu Auto Show, and is initially available in three variants. The lineup includes two rear-wheel-drive versions and one all-wheel-drive version, giving customers different combinations of range, performance and drivetrain capability within the new flagship sedan family.

Pricing And Variant Lineup

The 1,008-km rear-wheel-drive LiDAR Premium variant carries a pre-sales price of 249,900 yuan, equivalent to approximately $36,850, while the 1,008-km rear-wheel-drive LiDAR Flagship variant is priced at 269,900 yuan. The 880-km all-wheel-drive LiDAR Flagship sits at the top of the current lineup with a pre-sales price of 299,900 yuan. The three versions allow the model to address buyers seeking either maximum driving range or stronger performance from an all-wheel-drive configuration, while maintaining its positioning as a large premium sedan.

Flagship Dimensions And Aerodynamics

The Da Han is a Dynasty 9-series flagship large sedan positioned above the existing Han and joins the previously launched Da Tang SUV as part of the flagship product lineup. The sedan measures 5,256 mm in length, 1,999 mm in width and 1,510 mm in height, with a 3,130-mm wheelbase. Its drag coefficient is rated at 0.197, highlighting the emphasis placed on aerodynamic efficiency for a large electric vehicle. The combination of its dimensions, long wheelbase and low drag is intended to support both premium interior packaging and the long-range capability offered by the electric variants.

Powertrain And Performance

The rear-wheel-drive Da Han uses a single electric motor with a peak output of 370 kW. The all-wheel-drive version adds a 200-kW front motor, increasing combined peak output from the dual-motor system to 570 kW, equivalent to 764 horsepower. The all-wheel-drive model can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds and reaches a top speed of 270 km/h. It can also accelerate from 100 to 150 km/h in 3.2 seconds, giving the flagship sedan performance characteristics that extend beyond its long-range positioning.

Chassis And Standard Equipment

The all-wheel-drive variant records a braking distance of 32.83 meters from 100 km/h, while rear-wheel steering gives the Da Han a minimum turning radius of 4.95 meters. BYD Company Limited says the model includes 15 features as standard across the lineup, including DiSus-A dual-chamber air suspension, ultra-fast flash charging technology, rear-wheel steering and dual zero-gravity front seats. These features combine chassis control, charging capability and passenger comfort equipment to strengthen the sedan's flagship positioning within the Dynasty range.

LiDAR Driver Assistance And Premium Features

All Da Han variants are equipped with the LiDAR version of the God's Eye B driver-assistance system, making advanced sensing and driver-assistance technology standard across the initial range. The vehicles also receive smart dimming privacy glass and a 31-speaker Devialet audio system. By including these features across all three launch variants, the model combines advanced driver assistance with premium cabin technology rather than reserving the highest-end equipment exclusively for the most expensive version. The equipment strategy reinforces the Da Han's role as a technology-focused flagship sedan.

Battery Capacity And Driving Range

Previous regulatory filings indicate that the Da Han EV can be equipped with a battery pack offering capacity of up to 102.326 kWh. The rear-wheel-drive version delivers a maximum CLTC range of 1,008 km, while the all-wheel-drive version provides up to 880 km. The different range figures reflect the energy and performance trade-offs associated with the two drivetrain configurations. The rear-wheel-drive model prioritizes maximum range, whereas the dual-motor version combines a shorter stated range with substantially higher peak output and stronger acceleration performance.

PHEV Version Planned

The Da Han lineup will also include a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle version, although pre-sales for that variant have not yet started. The PHEV will use a 1.5T engine together with a drive motor delivering a peak output of 200 kW. Its future introduction would expand the flagship sedan's powertrain choices beyond battery-electric propulsion and give the model a configuration designed around a combination of combustion-engine and electric-drive capability. Details on its pricing, launch timing and final range have not been provided in the current pre-sales announcement.

Expansion Of BYD's Premium Dynasty Portfolio

The Da Han represents China-based BYD's latest effort to strengthen its presence in the premium vehicle segment. The company has expanded its D-segment flagship offering under the Dynasty lineup this year with the Da Tang SUV and the Da Han sedan. The two models create a broader flagship product structure covering both sedan and SUV body styles. With long electric range, high-output powertrains, LiDAR-based driver assistance and premium cabin features, the Da Han is positioned as an important addition to the company's strategy of moving further into higher-value vehicle segments.
