Video Summary
Here is the summary:The BYD Han L, priced between $31,000 and $39,000 USD, is a more upscale version of the existing Han sedan, featuring a simplified exterior styling. Distinguishing the two models requires close attention due to subtle panel tweaks.
The interior includes a column-mounted shift lever and fewer physical buttons than the Han, though the Han’s buttons were capacitive touch, and that is disliked.
Overall, the interior feels more modern but not necessarily more premium. BYD struggles to make premium interiors due to managing the details of design.
The car has heated, ventilated, massaging leather seats for both front and rear. There is also a heated and refrigerated storage compartment between the seats.
The electric powertrain makes 810 kW and 860 Newton-meters of torque. The entry-level version with only 675 horsepower has a 0-100 km/hr time of 5.5 seconds. The 0-100km/h time for the car is 2.7s. The car is faster than most Ferraris.
With two motors, the car makes 1,100 horsepower.
The Lidar on the roof performs much better than what other BYD vehicles are capable of.
It will travel 400 km of range in just five minutes on its fast charging system, if the charging is done from the 8 percent state of charge. However, this is usually unrealistic. On the review, the vehicle traveled 355km in range when charging for 7 minutes.
Driving is not sporty; there are numbing steering and so-so body control, as it feels like the large sedan it is. Despite advanced powertrain technology, power levels felt excessive for the car's comfort-oriented character. Get the base version of this car with only 675 horsepower as that is more than enough. The overabundance of power may make the car dumber rather than smarter.
