Chinese brand BYD plans to launch an all-new luxury car model in the fourth quarter of 2021, according to Li Yunfei, BYD’s general manager of branding and public relations.
He revealed that the new model will be operated under the name of an independent brand with an independent sales network. The price of the car is expected to range between 500,000 yuan (78,300 US dollars) and 800,000 yuan (125,285 US dollars).
BYD’s passenger cars are not yet sold in the United States. Annual sales of plug-in electric vehicles in North America are expected to reach at least 1.1 million units by 2024, according to Navigant Research. The numbers are small now, but consider that they are starting from essentially zero.
A local media report revealed in January that BYD intends to launch an independent brand of New Energy Vehicle (NEV) in 2022 and the first vehicle will be built on the EV2.0 platform. BYD’s management considered that the current selling capacity was unable to support “the upscale essence in devices and services” to build a high-end brand, and therefore decided to recruit new investors for the agencies and develop new distribution channels, according to an informed source who declined to be named.https://platform.twitter.com/embed/Tweet.html?creatorScreenName=MallakyCars&dnt=true&embedId=twitter-widget-0&features=eyJ0ZndfZXhwZXJpbWVudHNfY29va2llX2V4cGlyYXRpb24iOnsiYnVja2V0IjoxMjA5NjAwLCJ2ZXJzaW9uIjpudWxsfSwidGZ3X2hvcml6b25fdHdlZXRfZW1iZWRfOTU1NSI6eyJidWNrZXQiOiJodGUiLCJ2ZXJzaW9uIjpudWxsfSwidGZ3X3NrZWxldG9uX2xvYWRpbmdfMTMzOTgiOnsiYnVja2V0IjoiY3RhIiwidmVyc2lvbiI6bnVsbH0sInRmd19zcGFjZV9jYXJkIjp7ImJ1Y2tldCI6Im9mZiIsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9fQ%3D%3D&frame=false&hideCard=false&hideThread=false&id=1320957979097591809&lang=en&origin=https%3A%2F%2Ftest.mallaky.com%2Fbyd-%25d8%25b3%25d8%25aa%25d8%25b7%25d9%2584%25d9%2582-%25d8%25b3%25d9%258a%25d8%25a7%25d8%25b1%25d8%25a9-%25d9%2581%25d8%25a7%25d8%25ae%25d8%25b1%25d8%25a9%2F&sessionId=9e2e20297bb1f5254170342cccb3617a352d46de&siteScreenName=MallakyCars&theme=light&widgetsVersion=2582c61%3A1645036219416&width=550pxBYD’s tweet about its new electric version

At the same time, Han’s braking distance is only 32.8 meters from 100 km / h to a standstill.
The Han EV’s long-range version’s impressive 605 kilometers of cruising range also gives it the world’s highest energy recovery rating, while the silver-coated double windshield and other energy-saving measures meet the real needs of users over its lifetime. The Han DM Hybrid comes with a pure electric cruising range of 81 km and more than 800 km of integrated range, along with five different power modes.
