The BYD Han L is an executive flagship sedan under BYD's Dynasty Network, officially launched in April 2025. As an all-new step-up model in the "Han" family, the Han L is positioned in the C+ segment executive sedan market. It features comprehensive technical upgrades across its powertrain performance, chassis architecture, and smart tech systems, aiming to deliver a drive and ride experience that surpasses traditional petrol-powered luxury saloons.
The Han L adopts BYD's latest "Loong Face" design language, featuring enlarged body dimensions and an extended wheelbase of 2,970 mm.
Market Tags: Executive flagship sedan, 1000V full-domain high-voltage architecture, megawatt flash charging, advanced ADAS.
Product Core: At the heart of this model is BYD's "Super e-Platform", which incorporates a world-leading mass-produced 30,000 rpm drive motor, a 1500V silicon carbide (SiC) power chip, and a full-domain kilovolt high-voltage architecture. Key highlights include ultra-fast charging capabilities of "400 km of range in just 5 minutes of charge" and supercar-rivalling acceleration.
Market Positioning: Serving as the flagship of BYD's saloon line-up, its entry price starting from RM209,800 undercuts the segment's price barrier for high-performance sedans, primarily targeting affluent families seeking high performance and state-of-the-art tech.
Background: Amid escalating competition in the EV and hybrid segments, BYD introduced the Han L in 2025 to solidify its leadership in the executive sedan segment through disruptive technologies such as megawatt-level flash charging.
Launch Milestone: In April 2025, the Han L officially went on sale, offering two powertrain options: EV (pure electric) and DM (plug-in hybrid), with three variants available for each powertrain.
Technical Evolution: Following its rollout, backed by the deep integration of fifth-generation DM technology and the high-spec "Eye of the Gods" intelligent driving system, the Han L continuously refined its software algorithms throughout 2025 and 2026. This improved the operational coverage of its urban Navigation on Autopilot (NOA), establishing the model as a core volume driver for BYD in the premium sedan segment.
Market Competitiveness: The Han L commands a formidable performance edge in the RM200,000 to RM300,000 price bracket. Powered by an 1,102 PS dual-motor setup that completes the century sprint in just 2.7 seconds, its direct benchmarks extend well beyond standard family sedans, encroaching into the territory of certain high-performance vehicles priced in the RM1,000,000 bracket.
Owner Feedback: Owners have widely praised the Han L for its "effortless low-end pick-up and planted chassis dynamics". On long-distance highway cruises, driving fatigue is substantially reduced courtesy of the advanced ADAS suite. The premium interior appointments, combining 3D real bamboo and wood trim with high-tech cabin amenities, have also earned high praise for overall build quality.
Powertrain Architecture:
EV Version: Built on a 1000V high-voltage platform supporting megawatt-level flash charging across the range. The RWD variant delivers 580 kW, while the AWD variant delivers a combined system output of up to 810 kW, with a top speed exceeding 305 km/h.
DM Version: Powered by fifth-generation DM technology with DM-i and DM-p hybrid setups, achieving an engine thermal efficiency of 45.3%, a depleted-battery fuel consumption as low as 3.9 L/100 km, and a total driving range of over 1,400 km.
Intelligent Driving and Cockpit: Equipped as standard with the DiPilot 300 ("Eye of the Gods") advanced LiDAR-based driving assistance system, supporting highway and urban Navigation on Autopilot (NOA). The cabin features the DiLink 150 infotainment system integrated with the full-spec DeepSeek R1 AI large language model, delivering an industry-leading interactive experience.
Chassis Control: Fitted as standard with the DiSus-C intelligent damping body control system and DiSus preview scanning, paired with a front double-wishbone and rear five-link independent suspension setup to deliver an optimal balance of sharp handling and ride comfort.
Key strategic priorities for the Han L include:
ADAS Ecosystem Expansion: Ongoing refinement of urban Navigation on Autopilot capabilities to enhance precision when navigating roundabouts, tight parking bays, and complex mixed-traffic scenarios involving pedestrians and vehicles.
Megawatt Charging Network Expansion: Aligning with BYD's nationwide rollout of megawatt flash charging stations to realise an ultra-rapid energy replenishment experience on par with conventional refuelling.
Global Strategy: Driven by growing brand momentum, BYD is accelerating the development of the international-spec Han L tailored to regional market homologations, aiming to capture further market share in the global executive luxury sedan segment.
