What is the warranty policy for the BYD Han?
2 Answers
BYD Han's warranty policy offers a vehicle warranty period of 6 years or 150,000 kilometers. Below are the details regarding the warranty policy for the BYD Han: 1. Lifetime Warranty: The battery warranty policy for the BYD Han provides a lifetime warranty on the three key electric components (battery, motor, and electronic control system) for the first individual owner (non-commercial use), while the vehicle warranty policy covers 6 years or 150,000 kilometers. For the three key electric systems, BYD offers a lifetime warranty, which is very rare among all new energy vehicle manufacturers, indicating BYD's strong confidence in its three key electric products. 2. Battery Replacement: According to BYD's warranty terms, the battery can only be replaced free of charge when the battery degradation is abnormal. As for the standard of degradation, BYD has not yet provided an official calculation method, and there are no national regulations on this matter. Currently, the most common industry practice is to replace the battery free of charge when the degradation exceeds 30%.
As an automotive engineer, I've reviewed warranty details for many models, and the BYD Han's policy is quite comprehensive. The vehicle warranty covers 4 years or 150,000 kilometers (whichever comes first), including the engine and chassis. The core is the three-electric system—battery, motor, and electric control—which comes with an 8-year or 150,000-kilometer warranty, crucial for EV users. Given the high cost of batteries, long-term coverage can save significant repair expenses. However, pay attention to the policy conditions: regular maintenance at BYD-authorized 4S shops is mandatory, at least once annually; unauthorized modifications or neglected maintenance may void the warranty. For non-original owners, the three-electric warranty may be reduced to standard coverage. It's advisable to read the manual thoroughly before purchase to understand exclusions like wear parts. Overall, BYD's warranty stands out among competitors, and I recommend focusing on this aspect—it boosts confidence in vehicle ownership.
