Chinese automaker BYD introduces Han L and Tang L as their latest offerings in China's luxury electric vehicle market.
### BYD Unveils New Flagship Models: Han L Sedan and Tang L SUV
BYD, the Chinese automaker known for its commitment to electric vehicles, has expanded its premium offerings with the introduction of the Han L sedan and Tang L SUV. These new models, part of BYD's Dynasty lineup, are priced in the RMB 300,000 ($40,930) class, targeting the premium market [1][2].
The Han L and Tang L, launched in early 2025, are based on BYD's latest DM 5.0 hybrid technology [3]. The Han L is available in both battery electric vehicle (BEV) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) variants, while the Tang L follows suit, offering both electric and PHEV options [4][5].
The Han L sedan, measuring 5,050 mm in length, 1,960 mm in width, and 1,505 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,970 mm, largely continues the design of its family, but with an upgrade from the "Dragon Face" design language to "Loong Face" [6]. The Tang L, the largest SUV in BYD's lineup, shares similar design aesthetics [7].
The single-motor variant of the Han L PHEV boasts a motor with a peak power of 200 kW, while the dual-motor version offers peak power of 200 kW for each motor [8]. The single-motor version of the Tang L PHEV, like its Han L counterpart, also has a motor with a peak power of 200 kW. The dual-motor variant of the Han L PHEV features two motors with a combined peak power of 200 kW each [9].
The BEV and PHEV variants of both the Han L and Tang L share the same powertrain [10]. The Han L PHEV can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in an impressive 2.7 seconds [11], while the Tang L can reach the same speed in 3.9 seconds [12].
The current Han and Tang family models will continue to be sold after the launch of the Han L and Tang L [13]. Official images of the Han L and Tang L have been shared by BYD, with the debut happening in early 2025 [14]. The exact prices of the Han L and Tang L were not announced and are expected to be revealed at a new event in March [2].
The Tang, initially debuted in 2014, is one of BYD's main models in the mid-to-high-end market [15]. The Tang L, as the successor to the Tang, is poised to continue this tradition.
