2026 BYD Han L and Tang L SUV

Leave a comment

BYD has become a leader in the electric car world in recent years, and its two new models, the Han L sedan and the Tang L SUV, are raising the bar even higher. The two models are the first to be built on the new 1,000V platform that allows for super-fast charging of 1,000 kW.

The Han L is equipped with a Blade 83.2 kWh battery that charges from 10 to 70 percent in just six minutes, and a five-minute charge provides a range of 400 km. It takes just 20 minutes to fully charge the battery. The Tang L is equipped with a larger 100.5 kWh battery that allows a five-minute charge to provide a range of 350 km, and a full charge takes slightly longer than the smaller battery, 30 minutes.

The Chinese company’s goal is to equalize the electric charging time with tank filling. The charging speed of 1,000 kW is double that of Tesla’s superchargers, which deliver up to 500 kW. This led to a rise in the company’s shares (4.1%) in China, as investors estimated that the company could strengthen its already dominant position as one of the world’s largest electric car manufacturers.

The Tang L is available in three versions. The basic rear-wheel drive version has 788 hp, while the four-wheel drive version offers as much as 1,100 hp. Depending on the trim level, the range is between 560 and 670 kilometers. When it comes to price, this model costs from 27,651 euros to 34,895 euros.

The Han L is available in two versions, powered by an electric motor with 671 hp and 420 Nm of torque, with a range of up to 701 km. When it comes to price, the LiDAR Premium version starts at 26,470 euros, while the LiDAR Flagship version is more expensive and starts at 28,885. The LiDAR Flagship version is also available with all-wheel drive. It is powered by two electric motors with a total power of 778 hp and offers a range of 601 kilometers. The price is 33,645 euros.

Denza Z9 GT coming to Europe

After the success in the past years, the Chinese manufacturer BYD decided to increase its offer on the old continent with its premium brand Denza. The first model to be offered to European customers will be the Denza Z9 GT.

The Denza Z9 GT was revealed last year as a competitor to the Porsche Taycan. It is 5,180 mm long, 1,990 mm wide and 1,500 mm high, with a wheelbase of 3,125 mm, which means that it is larger than the Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo. Up front are angular headlights, a sculpted bumper with large openings and dramatic creases across the hood. There are also LED taillights, a roof spoiler and a secondary spoiler that extends from the trunk lid, setting the Z9 GT apart from the competition.

It is powered by three electric motors, one on the front axle (312 hp) and two on the rear axle (2 x 327 hp), with a total power of 966 hp (720 kW). The car weighs 2,875 kg, which is more than the Mercedes-Benz EQS and Rolls-Royce Cullinan SUVs, and can reach an electronically limited top speed of 240 km/h (149 mph). It is equipped with a 100.1 kWh battery, and in China, buyers can also choose a PHEV version with a 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline engine and three electric motors for a total power of 870 hp.

When it comes to price, the Denza Z9 GT costs between 41,777 and 51,760 euros, depending on the equipment you choose.

BYD officially unveiled the 1,000V platform

BYD has officially unveiled a new platform with a charging power of 1,000 kW, which will allow its cars to travel 400 km after a 5-minute charge. It is a completely new level in the world of EVs and one of the steps that could make electric vehicles more attractive to customers.

The goal of the Chinese company is to equalize the electric charging time with tank filling. The charging speed of 1,000 kW is double that of Tesla’s superchargers, which deliver up to 500 kW. This led to a rise in the company’s shares (4.1%) in China, which are now priced at 408.80 Hong Kong dollars, as investors estimated that the company could strengthen its already dominant position as one of the world’s largest electric car manufacturers. Initially, the new charging technology will be available for two new models, the Han L sedan and the Tang L SUV.

BYD also intends to install a network of 4,000 of its own “flash chargers” across China, to enable fast charging. The company did not specify a timeline or how much it would invest in building such facilities. Until now, BYD owners have largely relied on charging stations from other automakers or public charging stations run by third-party operators.

“In order to completely solve the concerns of our users about charging, we aimed to make the charging time of electric vehicles as short as possible, that is, it takes as long as the charging time of gasoline vehicles,” said BYD founder Wang Chuanfu.

BYD does not want to stop there, so a new 1,500 V platform for their construction electric vehicles is also in the development process. These vehicles will use a battery with a capacity of 2,500 kWh in LFP format, which can support ultra-fast charging of up to 600 kW.
