BYD has launched the new facelift series of Han sedan in China. The updated luxury sedan comes in three pure electric models and one PHEV model. The new Han also comes with a limited edition called Qianshancui, inspired by the emerald green tone of Chinese landscape painting.
Like before, the EV version has a closed face while the DM-i gets a mesh grilled fascia. The new Han EV continues to adapt BYD’s Dragon Face design language that blends Eastern and Western design aesthetics. The contour edges have now become curved, and the air intake decorations on both sides have evolved from straight lines to curved lines.
