BYD's Dynasty Network will unveil its new model, the Han L, on January 17. Positioned above the current Han family lineup, the car introduces a fresh design and offers both all-electric (EV) and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) powertrain options.
The new model continues the signature design language of BYD's Dynasty series. The front features newly styled headlights connected by a silver chrome strip, adding a touch of modernity. It also adopts a closed front grille typical of new energy vehicles, complemented by a large air intake below. The front bumper integrates air ducts and black decorative elements on both sides, enhancing its visual appeal.
The car's side profile showcases a streamlined design for a more harmonious look. Notably, the side mirrors are mounted above the doors, a departure from previous BYD models. Additionally, the side trim extends seamlessly from the front fender to the hidden door handles, creating a unified aesthetic.
At the rear, the car boasts a trendy full-width light bar that is highly recognizable when illuminated. The tail lamps feature a new design for an improved visual appeal, and silver accents are added to the rear bumper for a premium touch.
