Video Summary
Here's a summary of the YouTube video review of the electric BYD HAN.The BYD HAN is a competitor to the Tesla Model S. The car is a large, 5-meter-long road-going sedan.
Mechanically, the HAN features two permanent magnet synchronous motors, one on each axle, which provides 517 horsepower and 700 Nm of torque. Zero-to-one-hundred is reached in 3.9 seconds.
The BYD HAN is powered by an LFP lithium iron phosphate battery, also known as blade batteries with a gross capacity of 85.4 kWh.
The HAN is very well equipped and has 19-inch rims, full LED optics with automatic headlights, and a panoramic glass roof that opens with a velum. It has a radar, ultrasonic sensors and several cameras. It has excellent Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires, and a very serious braking system, as it has ventilated perforated discs and Brembo four-piston calipers.
It is also equipped with tinted glass in the rear.
The trunk has only 410 litres of space, which is a little disappointing, since it is a five-meter sedan, but it is 10 litres more than the BYD Seal, which is already not very generous.
It has a split in the back of the wheel arch on the left, and on the right there is the Dynaudio sound system.
A small ski hatch is included, but the bench seat cannot be folded down. The double bottom is very limited in space and can only hold the Type 2 cable.
There is no storage space under the hood, which is a downside.
In the rear, the seats are very comfortable with wide headrests, electric adjustment and a good amount of headroom, but knee room is limited. There is a small central tunnel. In the center, there is a fold down armrest with cupholders and a control panel that offers access to climate controls.
There is no layered glazing.
The reviewer likes the interior with leather upholstery. The front seats have heating and ventilation with good lateral support. However, the reviewer notes the lack of thigh support. The dashboard design is classic and made with premium materials, except a few parts. The memory seats, a 12-speaker Dynaudio system, a small glove compartment, USB and USB-C charging ports and an induction charging pad.
There are memory seats, a Dynaudio sound system, USB and USB-C charging ports and an inductive charging pad.
The touch screen does not pivot.
It includes assistance with lane keeping, adaptive cruise control and auto high beams.
The test car does not have the latest software version or mobile app.
The WLTP-rated range is 521 km, while the mixed-use consumption average is 18.5kWh/100km.
It achieves 120 kW with fast DC charging and 11 kW from a wall box.
It can be used for V2L.
Its strengths are its high build quality, and price. The BYD HAN starts at 70,800 €, so it’s about 20,000 euros less than a Tesla Model S with very similar comfort.
The handling of this family sedan is predictable and not very sporty, its is limited to 180 km/h.
The steering lacks directness, being very light and soft. The weight of the car is 2250 kg. The driving sensation is similar to a Citroen due to the soft ride.
BYD HAN is overall a very good family sedan, that is well equipped and cheaper than a Tesla.
