Video Summary
The new BYD Han L looks completely different from the previous model. It is a completely new car, not a refreshed version. It has elongated headlights joined by a chrome element. The Han L features a lidar sensor on the roof for autonomous driving and has flush door handles, a slanted roofline, and a single taillight strip. The BYD Han L is over 5 meters long and is bigger than a Tesla Model S. The wheelbase is larger, too. The Han L sedan's exterior aligns with the front of the BYD Han, according to BYD China.The motors can spin at up to 30,000 RPM, with 810 kW of total system power (1,085 hp). The review notes that power would probably beat most Ferraris, Porsches, and Lamborghinis. It does zero to 100km/hr in 2.7 seconds.
There is a hybrid version of the Han L using a 1.5L internal combustion engine with 115 kW and an electric motor that has 200 kW. Total system power is about 450hp from the plug-in hybrid. The four-wheel-drive version has 580 kW, equal to 777 horsepower. The rear motor power alone has 580 kW or 777 horsepower; the front motor has 230 kW or 308 horsepower.
The BYD Tang L dimensions are similar to the Han, being 5 meters long with a wheel base 2,950 mm. It rides on 20 or 21 inch wheels and has the same drive train. The styling of the front looks odd, but the reviewer says the back looks nice. The Tang L is 1,760 mm tall. It appears to be built on the same platform as the Han.
New Blade batteries will change the game for BYD, and they enable charging speeds of up to 600 kW, which allows a battery pack charged in 9 to 10 minutes from 10 to 80%. The reviewer thinks that BYD had fallen behind its rivals but that fast charging times and new battery energy density could make BYD the leader in this market. There are 3 motors in total in these BYD vehicles (one in front and 2 in back).
