• Both the hybrid Han DM-i and all-electric Han EV now offer new variants with longer ranges, while priced lower after limited-time offers.
• Following last year's strong performance, the Han family has seen a significant sales decline this year amid intensifying competition.

BYD (HKG: 1211) has added long-range variants to the Han to enhance the appeal of its Dynasty series flagship sedan.

Both the hybrid Han DM-i and the pure-electric Han EV now offer new variants with extended range, priced lower after limited-time offers.

The company rolled out four new Han DM-i variants, each with a CLTC battery range of 245 kilometers. Official starting prices are RMB 169,800 ($23,800), RMB 179,800, RMB 189,800, and RMB 199,800.

The five previously available Han DM-i variants all had a CLTC battery range of 125 km, with starting prices of RMB 168,800, RMB 175,800, RMB 185,800, RMB 195,800, and RMB 225,800.

The Han EV now has three new variants, including two with a CLTC range of 635 km and one with a range of 705 km. Their starting prices are RMB 183,800, RMB 195,800, and RMB 215,800 respectively.

The previously available Han EV also had five variants: two with CLTC ranges of 506 km and 605 km, and three with 701 km ranges. Their starting prices are RMB 179,800, RMB 189,800, RMB 199,800, RMB 219,800, and RMB 235,800 respectively.

For customers purchasing these new variants before October 31, BYD offers a RMB 10,000 trade-in subsidy.

At the same time, BYD is offering a RMB 10,000 trade-in subsidy plus a RMB 10,000 final payment discount for the 506-km range Han EV, effectively lowering its starting price to RMB 159,800.

This move positions the newly launched Han DM-i and Han EV variants as higher-spec models at lower effective prices, effectively phasing out the previously available variants despite their continued presence in the specification list.

BYD launched the 2025 model year Han sedan on September 9, 2024, featuring lower prices and upgraded specifications. The model received an smart driving edition update in February this year.

The Han is BYD's flagship sedan and one of the earliest mid-to-high-end models from a Chinese domestic automaker.

Following strong performance last year, the model has seen a significant sales decline this year amid intensifying competition.

The BYD Han family, which also includes the Han L EV and Han L DM, sold 8,690 units in September, down 64.57 percent year-on-year and 6.95 percent month-on-month, according to data compiled by CnEVPost.

From January to September, the Han family sold 142,331 units, a 13.09 percent year-on-year decrease.
