The BYD Han accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.9 seconds. The 0-100 km/h acceleration time refers to the duration it takes for a car to accelerate from a standstill to 100 kilometers per hour. Taking the 2020 BYD Han as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4960mm, width 1910mm, height 1495mm, with a wheelbase of 2920mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 48 liters. The 2020 BYD Han is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 321 kW and a maximum torque of 650 Nm, paired with a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission. It features a front MacPherson independent suspension and a rear multi-link independent suspension.

The acceleration performance of the BYD Han depends on the specific version. When I test-drove the Han EV AWD version last time, it hit 100 km/h in just 3.9 seconds with a strong kick-in-the-back feeling, like riding a roller coaster. However, the two-wheel-drive version is slower, taking about 7 seconds, which is more than enough for daily driving. The newly released DM-p performance version is even more impressive, with an official claim of just 3.7 seconds, a figure that can rival Porsche. The quick acceleration of electric cars is mainly due to the high torque of the motor, delivering maximum power right from the start. When driving on the road, it's important to be cautious with such powerful acceleration to avoid speeding, especially in rainy conditions where tire slip is a risk. By the way, acceleration is at its fastest when the battery is fully charged; it might be slightly slower by a fraction of a second when the battery is low.

The performance varies significantly across different configurations: the Han EV AWD Performance Edition has an official 0-100km/h acceleration time of 3.9 seconds, and real-world tests can even be slightly faster. Last year, I drove my friend's dual-motor version, and in sport mode, you can truly feel the sensation of flying close to the ground. The single-motor version is much gentler, taking around 7.9 seconds, making it suitable for daily commutes. The hybrid DM-p version is the most extreme, achieving 0-100km/h in 3.7 seconds, which is basically on par with million-dollar supercars. Electric cars accelerate quickly because there's no transmission lag, and torque is delivered instantly. When test driving, it's advisable to pay attention to road temperature and tire pressure, as cold tires can result in slightly slower acceleration. If you drive such high-performance cars regularly, remember to periodically check the motor and battery status.

The top-tier Han DM-p accelerates from 0-100km/h in just 3.7 seconds, placing it firmly in the top tier of mass-produced electric vehicles. The regular all-wheel-drive EV version's 3.9-second time is also impressive, easily outpacing most gasoline cars at traffic lights. However, the entry-level two-wheel-drive model's 7.9-second acceleration is more practical, offering better energy efficiency and quieter operation. Multiple factors affect acceleration: a full battery provides about 0.3 seconds quicker acceleration than low battery levels, and Sport mode responds faster than Eco mode. Performance tires can improve traction, though they require greater stopping distance in wet conditions. Personally, I find 4-second-level acceleration excessive for daily driving, but it's undeniably thrilling when you occasionally want that exhilarating push-back-into-the-seat sensation.

The test data is quite interesting: the Han DM-p can achieve 0-100km/h in 3.7 seconds on dry pavement, which is even more aggressive than the official data. The EV 4WD version normally takes between 3.9-4.1 seconds, with noticeable dizziness during full-throttle acceleration. The 2WD version, taking over 7 seconds, is more suitable for family needs and has lower energy consumption. A reminder: consecutive launch starts will trigger battery overheating protection, and the acceleration will slow down by half a second from the third attempt. Actually, stopping steadily is just as important as going fast. The car's Brembo brakes are very powerful, achieving a 100km/h-0 braking distance of only 32 meters. In northern winters, remember to preheat the battery, as acceleration can weaken by about 10% in sub-zero temperatures.
