BYD reveals core specs of its first D-class flagship sedan Da Han: 5256mm body length, 3130mm wheelbase, max CLTC range of 1008km, and 3.8s 0-100km/h for the AWD version, debuting at Chengdu Auto Show in August.
Da Han Debuts: BYD's First D-Class Flagship Sedan
On July 30, 2026, Lu Tian, General Manager of BYD Dynasty Network Sales Division, announced the core specifications of the new flagship sedan "Da Han" on social media. This is BYD Dynasty series' first product officially targeting the D-class sedan market, internally codenamed "Series 9," positioned above the current Han and Han L. Core dimensions:
- Length × Width × Height: 5256mm × 1999mm × 1510mm
- Wheelbase: 3130mm
- For reference: Mercedes S-Class standard wheelbase is 5290mm; BMW 7 7-Series is 5391mm
The Da Han's width even exceeds that of the S-Class (1921mm) and 7-Series (1950mm), making it an "oversized" presence in the domestic market. This dimensional level promises class-above rear passenger space and flagship presence.
Tri-Electric System: 1000km+ Range, Minute-Level Charging
The Da Han's most eye-catching specification is its maximum CLTC range of 1008km, powered by a 102.326kWh second-generation Blade Battery, claimed as "the world's longest-range large sedan in pure electric form." EV powertrain configurations:
| Variant | Motor Layout | Max Power | CLTC Range | 0-100km/h |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RWD Premium | Single-motor RWD | 370kW | 1008km | — |
| AWD Flagship | Dual-motor AWD | 570kW | 880km | 3.8s |
All variants are built on a 1000V high-voltage platform, supporting peak 1000kW megawatt flash charging. Official data shows:
- At room temperature: 10% to 70% in 5 minutes
- 10% to 97% full charge in as fast as 9 minutes
- Minimal charging degradation even at minus 30°C
A plug-in hybrid variant is also offered, featuring a 1.5T engine + 200kW drive motor with a 54.489kWh battery and 370km WLTC pure-electric range.
Chassis and Intelligence: Fully Loaded Flagship Configuration
The Da Han spares no expense at the chassis hardware level:
- Front double wishbone + rear multi-link all-aluminum suspension
- Air suspension system
- 7-degree rear-wheel steering
- 5.25-meter body with a minimum turning radius of only 5.4 meters
For intelligent driving, it features the God's Eye intelligent-driving system, covering full-scenario assisted driving including urban NOA, highway navigation assist, and automatic parking. A roof-integrated lidar works in tandem with front-fender cameras for perception. Exterior design highlights:
- Dynasty Dragon Face family design language
- Low-slung fastback coupe silhouette
- Semi-flush door handles
- Through-type Chinese-knot taillights
- Two-tone luxury paint options
Market Positioning: Filling the Domestic D-Class Gap
D-class sedans have historically been a "critically acclaimed but slow-selling" segment in China. Data shows that D-class sedans accounted for less than 3% of the overall sedan market in H1 2026. BYD's launch of an S-Class-sized pure-electric/PHEV sedan with 1000km+ range at this juncture clearly aims beyond mere volume. Strategic significance of Da Han:
- Brand ceiling breakthrough: Elevates BYD Dynasty series to D-class flagship territory
- Technology showcase: Culmination of Blade Battery 2.0, megawatt flash charging, and God's Eye ADAS
- Export flagship: A premium calling card for Middle Eastern, Central Asian, and Southeast Asian markets
The Da Han will make its global debut at the Chengdu Auto Show from August 21-30, 2026. Referencing the same-platform flagship SUV Da Tang (pre-sale starting price from RMB 250,000 with over 100,000 pre-orders), the Da Han's starting price is expected to be in a similar range. EX1000.COM believes that for buyers in Central Asia, Russia, and the Middle East, the BYD Da Han represents the highest expression of Chinese new-energy technology in the large luxury sedan segment. Its 1008km range and megawatt flash-charging technology will significantly alleviate range and charging anxiety for long-distance travel, making it a strong candidate for premium business use.
