BYD launches the new Han EV powered by its latest tech, starting at just $25,000

The new BYD Han flagship sedan has arrived. BYD launched the “Evolved” 2025 Han EV featuring its latest tech and a low starting price of just $25,300 (179,800 yuan).

Since launching in 2020, over 800,000 BYD Han’s have been sold. BYD’s flagship electric car has received several updates over the past four years, but its latest might be the most significant so far.

BYD launched the 2025 model on Monday, saying “the powerful Han” has evolved again. The refreshed BYD Han is available in EV and PHEV versions.

BYD cut the price of the new DM-i (PHEV) Han by about 2% (4,000 yuan), which now starts at just $23,300 (165,800 yuan). Powered by its new DM 5.0 hybrid system, the PHEV consumes 3.8 L per 100 km on low battery, which is less than a traditional car, according to BYD.
