BYD opens orders for the flagship Great Han EV

The Great Han, or Da Han as it’s called in China, is the first D-segment flagship sedan under BYD’s Dynasty family.

We got a sneak peek of the new full-size sedan in June after it was revealed in the batch of new energy vehicles approved for sale by China’s MIIT (Ministry of Industry and Information Technology).

Lu Tian, the general manager of BYD’s Dynasty series, confirmed last month that the Great Han would be revealed in full at the Chengdu Motor Show, teasing that “more surprises await.”
