BYD Han

BYD Han: which version to buy

The BYD Han is a sedan sold in one generation from May 2020, with restyling 1 from April 2022 and restyling 2 from September 2024. Restyling 2 lists 0 measured versions, so a buyer today is choosing among 4 first-generation names and 5 restyling-1 names. Power in the measured list runs from 222 hp to 629 hp (+407 hp). The 0–100 km/h spread is 7.9 s down to 3.7 s (4.2 s).

Restyling 2 lists 0 measured versions, so a buyer today is choosing among 4 first-generation names and 5 restyling-1 names. Power in the measured list runs from 222 hp to 629 hp (+407 hp). The 0–100 km/h spread is 7.9 s down to 3.7 s (4.2 s). There is no price in this dataset, so “what the extra specification buys” is only horsepower, newton-metres, 0–100, drive, battery label in the version name, fuel, mixed consumption where measured, and kerb weight where measured.

BYD Han specs by generation: what actually changed

1 generation (from 2020-05-01, sedan, 4 versions, stop not measured). All four names are Electro with Automatic 1-speed. Two are FWD at 222 hp / 163 kW / 330 Nm and 7.9 s to 100 km/h: AT 65 kWh and AT 77 kWh (222 hp). Two are AWD and 3.9 s: AT 77 kWh (494 hp / 363 kW / 680 Nm) and AT 85.4 kWh (518 hp / 380 kW / 713 Nm). Same body, same Automatic 1-speed, same Electro fuel. The buyer’s first split is FWD 222 hp versus AWD 494–518 hp, not a new generation.

1 generation, restyling 1 (from 2022-04-01, sedan, 5 versions, stop not measured). Electro continues, but names change to EV 85.4 kWh and EV 85.4 kWh AWD. New in this restyling: three Plug-in names with 1497 displacement, 4 Inline cylinders, 4 valves per cylinder, Turbo, Front, transverse layout, Direct injection (direct), fuel 95, Variable gearbox, 50 tank. Restyling 1 is the only place in this catalogue where Han is not Electro-only.

1 generation, restyling 2 (from 2024-09-01, sedan, 0 versions). No horsepower, no 0–100, no engine type. A 2025/2026 “which version” question cannot be answered from restyling 2 numbers because none were measured.

BYD Han engine and horsepower: every version named as in the data

Two names repeat. AT 77 kWh is either 222 hp FWD or 494 hp AWD (+272 hp, +350 Nm, same 7.9 s versus 3.9 s). 1.5Ti Plug-in Hybrid CVT is either 357 hp / 262 kW or 336 hp / 247 kW (+21 hp / +15 kW), both FWD Variable.

Engine size is measured only on the Plug-in trio: 1497 for all three. Power per litre (hp ÷ 1.497): 1.5 Ti Plug-in Hybrid AWD CVT 420.2 hp/l; 1.5Ti Plug-in Hybrid CVT (357 hp) 238.5 hp/l; 1.5Ti Plug-in Hybrid CVT (336 hp) 224.4 hp/l. The AWD Plug-in is +181.7 hp/l versus the 336 hp FWD Plug-in and +181.8 hp/l versus rounding of 357 vs 336’s gap of 14.0 hp/l. Electro versions have displacement not measured, so hp/l is not calculated for them.

BYD Han EV engine type in this file is Electro for AT 65 kWh, both AT 77 kWh rows, AT 85.4 kWh, EV 85.4 kWh, and EV 85.4 kWh AWD. Cylinder count, layout, and boost on those six are not measured. Do not invent a petrol layout for them.

BYD Han EV vs Plug-in: the restyling-1 fork

If the question is “Han EV or hybrid,” restyling 1 is the only generation slice that offers both.

Stay Electro, FWD, ~8 s: first generation AT 65 kWh and AT 77 kWh (222 hp) are 222 hp / 330 Nm / 7.9 s. Restyling 1 EV 85.4 kWh is 245 hp / 350 Nm / 7.9 s: +23 hp, +20 Nm, same 0–100. The kWh label in the name is 85.4 versus 65 or 77. 0–100 does not improve. You buy +23 hp and a larger kWh figure in the name, not a shorter sprint.

Stay Electro, AWD, 3.9 s: first generation AT 77 kWh (494 hp) 494 hp / 680 Nm; AT 85.4 kWh 518 hp / 713 Nm (+24 hp, +33 Nm), still 3.9 s. Restyling 1 EV 85.4 kWh AWD 517 hp / 700 Nm: −1 hp versus AT 85.4 kWh, −13 Nm, same 3.9 s. The restyle AWD EV does not buy a faster 0–100 versus the first-generation 518 hp AT 85.4 kWh. Versus AT 77 kWh (494 hp) it is +23 hp and +20 Nm, still 3.9 s.

Move to Plug-in: the peak in the whole catalogue is 1.5 Ti Plug-in Hybrid AWD CVT at 629 hp / 462 kW, 3.7 s, AWD. Versus the strongest Electro AWD (AT 85.4 kWh, 518 hp): +111 hp, +82 kW, 0–100 0.2 s quicker (3.9 − 3.7). Versus EV 85.4 kWh AWD (517 hp): +112 hp. Nm on the Plug-in AWD is not measured, so a torque comparison against 713 or 700 is not available.

The two FWD Plug-ins are not in the 3.7 s club. 1.5Ti Plug-in Hybrid CVT (357 hp) and 1.5Ti Plug-in Hybrid CVT (336 hp) both do 7.9 s — the same 0–100 as AT 65 kWh, AT 77 kWh (222 hp), and EV 85.4 kWh. Versus EV 85.4 kWh (245 hp), the 357 hp Plug-in is +112 hp with no 0–100 gain in this file; the 336 hp Plug-in is +91 hp, still 7.9 s.

Performance and economy: 0–100, top speed, mpg-style figures

0–100 km/h, three measured values only: 7.9, 3.9, 3.7.

• 7.9 s: AT 77 kWh (222 hp), AT 65 kWh, EV 85.4 kWh, 1.5Ti Plug-in Hybrid CVT (357 hp), 1.5Ti Plug-in Hybrid CVT (336 hp). Five versions, FWD, spanning 222–357 hp. Extra horsepower inside this group does not change the published sprint.
• 3.9 s: AT 77 kWh (494 hp), AT 85.4 kWh, EV 85.4 kWh AWD. Three AWD Electro names. 518 − 494 = 24 hp does not change 0–100 here.
• 3.7 s: only 1.5 Ti Plug-in Hybrid AWD CVT. 4.2 s quicker than the 7.9 s group; 0.2 s quicker than the 3.9 s group.

Top speed: only AT 85.4 kWh is measured, 180. For AT 65 kWh, both AT 77 kWh rows, EV 85.4 kWh, EV 85.4 kWh AWD, and all three Plug-ins, top speed is not measured.

CO2: 0 on all four first-generation Electro versions. Restyling 1: CO2 not measured on all five names, including both EVs and all Plug-ins.

Mixed consumption: measured only on Plug-in restyling 1.

• 1.5Ti Plug-in Hybrid CVT (336 hp): 4.2
• 1.5Ti Plug-in Hybrid CVT (357 hp): 4.5 (+0.3 versus 336 hp)
• 1.5 Ti Plug-in Hybrid AWD CVT: 5.2 (+1.0 versus 336 hp, +0.7 versus 357 hp)

City and highway consumption: not measured on every version in the file. Electro mixed consumption: not measured. There is no mpg number in the data; the mixed figures above are the only economy numbers.

If the buying question is “lowest measured mixed figure,” the answer is 1.5Ti Plug-in Hybrid CVT (336 hp) at 4.2, not the 629 hp AWD Plug-in. If the question is “shortest 0–100,” the answer is the 629 hp AWD Plug-in at 3.7 s, which uses +1.0 mixed versus the 336 hp name.

Dimensions, weight, tank, wheels

Length, width, height, wheelbase, and ground clearance: not measured on any version. “BYD Han dimensions mm” cannot be filled from this dataset.

Kerb weight: only AT 85.4 kWh, 2250. All other eight names: kerb not measured. Gross weight: not measured on all. Weight per horsepower is therefore only valid for AT 85.4 kWh: 2250 / 518 ≈ 4.34 kg/hp. Do not apply 2250 to EV 85.4 kWh AWD or to Plug-ins.

Tank: 50 on 1.5 Ti Plug-in Hybrid AWD CVT and both 1.5Ti Plug-in Hybrid CVT rows. Electro versions: tank not measured.

Wheels: 245/45 R19 and 245/50 R18 on AT 65 kWh and both AT 77 kWh rows. AT 85.4 kWh and all restyling-1 versions: wheels not measured.

Chassis items that do not separate versions: Independent, spring front and rear; Ventilated disc front; Disc rear — identical wording on every version that lists them, including restyling 1.

Which BYD Han version to choose

1. FWD Electro, lowest measured power, same 7.9 s. Choose AT 65 kWh or AT 77 kWh (222 hp) if you want first-generation Electro, FWD, Automatic 1-speed, 222 hp / 330 Nm, CO2 0, and the only measured wheel pair in the file. Between those two, power, torque, 0–100, drive, and gearbox are identical. The only measured difference in the names is 65 kWh versus 77 kWh. Kerb, top speed, mixed use, and clearance are not measured for either.

2. FWD Electro after restyling 1, still 7.9 s. Choose EV 85.4 kWh for 245 hp / 180 kW / 350 Nm. Versus AT 77 kWh (222 hp) or AT 65 kWh: +23 hp, +17 kW, +20 Nm, 0–100 unchanged. Wheels, weight, CO2, top speed: not measured on EV 85.4 kWh.

3. AWD Electro, 3.9 s, first generation. AT 77 kWh (494 hp) versus the 222 hp AT 77 kWh is the largest intra-name gap: +272 hp, +200 kW, +350 Nm, FWD→AWD, 7.9 → 3.9 s (−4.0 s). Same Electro, same Automatic 1-speed, same wheel sizes, same CO2 0. If the badge says AT 77 kWh, confirm 222 versus 494 hp before treating them as one car.

4. AWD Electro, peak first-generation power and the only top speed and kerb. AT 85.4 kWh: 518 hp / 380 kW / 713 Nm, 3.9 s, 180 top speed, 2250 kerb, AWD. Versus AT 77 kWh (494 hp): +24 hp, +17 kW, +33 Nm, same 3.9 s. This is the only Han here with both top speed and kerb measured. Wheels on this version: not measured.

5. AWD Electro, restyling 1. EV 85.4 kWh AWD: 517 hp / 380 kW / 700 Nm, 3.9 s. Versus AT 85.4 kWh: −1 hp, 0 kW difference at 380, −13 Nm, 0–100 the same, top speed and kerb not measured on the restyle. Buy this name for restyling-1 Electro AWD, not for a measured gain in 0–100 or horsepower over AT 85.4 kWh.

6. FWD Plug-in, 7.9 s, measured mixed use. Two names, both 1.5Ti Plug-in Hybrid CVT, 1497, 4 Inline, Turbo, Front, transverse, Direct injection (direct), fuel 95, Variable, FWD, tank 50. Pick 336 hp / 247 kW if the goal is the lowest mixed figure in the catalogue (4.2). Pick 357 hp / 262 kW for +21 hp / +15 kW at mixed 4.5 (+0.3). Neither beats EV 85.4 kWh on 0–100 (all 7.9 s). Nm on both: not measured.

7. AWD Plug-in, peak horsepower and peak 0–100. 1.5 Ti Plug-in Hybrid AWD CVT: 629 hp / 462 kW, 3.7 s, AWD, Variable, same 1497 / 4 Inline / Turbo package, mixed 5.2, tank 50. Versus the stronger FWD Plug-in: +272 hp, +200 kW, 7.9 → 3.7 s (−4.2 s), mixed +0.7. Versus AT 85.4 kWh: +111 hp, −0.2 s on 0–100, fuel 95 instead of Electro, tank 50 versus tank not measured, kerb not measured versus 2250. Nm: not measured, so ignore torque-based ranking for this name.

Arithmetic ranking (measured 0–100, then hp): 1.5 Ti Plug-in Hybrid AWD CVT (3.7 s, 629 hp) → three AWD Electros at 3.9 s ordered AT 85.4 kWh 518 / EV 85.4 kWh AWD 517 / AT 77 kWh 494 → five FWD names at 7.9 s ordered 1.5Ti Plug-in Hybrid CVT 357 / 1.5Ti Plug-in Hybrid CVT 336 / EV 85.4 kWh 245 / AT 65 kWh and AT 77 kWh (222 hp) tied at 222. Restyling 2 adds no row to that list.

What this file will not decide: BYD Han price, USA/US for sale, flagship price, interior, Han L (not a version name here), Philippines specs sheets, 2025/2026 restyling-2 engines, and dimensions in mm. Those queries have no numbers in the source. Reliability and problems are also not in the data. The choice that is in the data is FWD 7.9 s versus AWD 3.9 / 3.7 s, Electro versus Plug-in 95, and — only for Plug-in FWD — 4.2 versus 4.5 mixed at 336 versus 357 hp.
