2 Answers
The curb weight of the BYD Han EV is 1940KG. Its 0-100km/h acceleration time is as low as 3.9 seconds, making its performance comparable to models like the Porsche 911 and McLaren. The BYD Han is a B-segment sedan with body dimensions of 4980/1910/1495mm and a wheelbase of 2920mm. The BYD Han was launched on July 12, 2020, with a total of 4 variants. It is equipped with the new lithium iron phosphate Blade Battery. The interior features a 12.3-inch LCD instrument cluster and a 15.6-inch rotatable central touchscreen. It provides a total of 6 USB ports (4 in the front and 2 in the rear). The vehicle supports smartphone NFC key functionality, allowing users to unlock the car by simply bringing their phone close, without requiring the phone to be powered on or connected to the internet. The BYD Han comes in two variants: hybrid and electric. The main difference between the two lies in their powertrain systems. The electric variant is solely driven by electric motors, while the hybrid variant offers both a fuel engine and an electric motor. The electric variant's motors deliver power outputs of 163kw and 363kw, with peak torques of 330Nm and 680Nm, paired with a single-speed transmission. The hybrid variant is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine and an electric motor with a maximum power output of 180kw and 330Nm.
As a car enthusiast, I've test-driven the BYD Han EV several times, and its weight is truly impressive. The rear-wheel-drive version has a curb weight of around 2,100 kg, while the all-wheel-drive version approaches 2,200 kg. This substantial weight mainly comes from that high-performance Blade Battery. Although it's a bit heavy, it makes the car rock-solid at high speeds with excellent body roll control during cornering. However, the weight does present some minor challenges, like requiring more caution when parking and slightly slower handling responses. In terms of range, while the added weight increases energy consumption a bit, I average about 14 kWh/100km in city driving, achieving over 550 km of real-world range which is perfectly adequate. The chassis tuning is fantastic - it doesn't wobble even on bumpy roads, though I'd recommend beginners get accustomed to its size first. Overall, this weight falls within the normal range for electric vehicles, and you'll grow to love it after driving for a while.
