What is the top speed of the BYD Han?
4 Answers
The top speed of the BYD Han is 200 kilometers per hour. Below is relevant information about the BYD Han: Introduction: The BYD Han is a flagship new energy vehicle launched by BYD Auto in 2020, marking BYD's new energy vehicles moving towards the mid-to-high-end market. Vehicle Design: The BYD Han adopts the family design language of BYD's Dynasty series, inspired by the Chinese dragon, symbolizing not only speed and power but also leadership. The front face features a closed design, presenting a simple and elegant appearance. Unlike previous models, the new design transforms the dragon's mouth into a flat design, lowering the front stance. Combined with horizontal lines, the entire front end achieves a very low and aggressive visual effect.
I've been driving this BYD Han for over a year now, with an official top speed of 185 km/h. Last time on the highway, I specifically tested it—on a good stretch, pushing it to around 175 km/h felt quite stable, with no noticeable floatiness. Honestly, though, you rarely need such high speeds in daily driving. In the city, I mostly stay between 60 to 80 km/h, and even on highways with a 120 km/h limit, I seldom hit the max. Before buying, I compared specs, and achieving this speed with an EV is impressive, largely thanks to its dual-motor drive system. Battery range does drop faster at high speeds due to exponentially increasing wind resistance. After 20,000 km, the powertrain feels reliable overall—just avoid prolonged extreme driving.
As a veteran driver with twenty years of experience, I'm particularly sensitive to speed. The BYD Han can reach a top speed of 185 km/h, which is faster than many gasoline-powered cars. However, I must remind young drivers that this is data obtained under ideal testing conditions. Actual driving requires consideration of tire wear and road conditions. Last year, when I drove my friend's Han on a long trip, the tire noise became noticeably louder at 140 km/h. It only improved after he switched to quieter tires. For daily driving, I recommend keeping the speed under 130 km/h, as emergency braking distance increases exponentially with speed. Electric vehicles have instant torque, making overtaking easier, but safety should always come first.
Several families in our neighborhood have bought the BYD Han, and everyone praises its performance during car chats. A top speed of 185 km/h is more than enough for family use. On weekends, taking the whole family on road trips, cruising at 120 km/h on the highway feels particularly stable. Even with a child seat and luggage in the trunk, it doesn't affect the power output. However, I've become more cautious when driving after having a child, rarely exceeding 130 km/h when overtaking. The car's safety features are well-equipped; the emergency brake assist system has activated twice, both times proving very helpful when the car in front suddenly slowed down. Now, except for highway trips back to my hometown, I mostly drive in eco mode—saving power and ensuring safety.
