China’s BYD has launched the Han DM-i Champion Edition and Han DM-p God of War Edition. The former is priced in the range of 189,800 to 249,800 yuan ($27000 to $36000), while the latter has a price tag of 289,800 yuan ($42000). It is worth noting that the price of the first model was reduced by 10,000 yuan. This release marks an important milestone for BYD, as they expand their lineup with these new editions, offering customers a wider range of choices in the electric vehicle market.
The latest car models come with various levels of upgrades, distinguishing them from one another. The Han DM-i Champion Edition now includes a pure electric variant with an impressive range of 200km. On the other hand, the Han DM-p God of War Edition boasts the addition of the DiSus-C intelligent damping body control system, further enhancing its performance and driving experience.
BYD has incorporated a fresh Glacier Blue color choice into the Han DM-i Champion Edition. This latest vehicle model comes equipped with the FSD variable damping suspension system as a standard feature, while select models offer the option to be equipped with the DiSus-C intelligent damping body control system (with hardware already installed and an OTA upgrade planned for later this year).
In terms of dimensions, the Han DM-i Champion Edition boasts measurements of 4975mm in length, 1910mm in width, and 1495mm in height, with a wheelbase spanning 2920mm. These specifications highlight the vehicle’s well-proportioned and spacious design.
In terms of configuration, the car offers an impressive range of cutting-edge features. Notable among them is the high-efficiency heat pump air conditioner, designed to operate within a wide temperature range. Additionally, the car comes equipped with a convenient mobile phone NFC car key for seamless access. Safety is prioritized with the inclusion of a BSD blind spot monitoring system, ensuring drivers stay aware of their surroundings. Furthermore, the car boasts a W-HUD head-up display, providing drivers with a clear and convenient information display while on the road.
When it comes to power, the new car utilizes a plug-in hybrid system, combining a blade battery and a 1.5Ti engine. This configuration offers customers multiple options to suit their needs. Retaining the version with a pure electric range of 121km, BYD has introduced an exciting addition—an extended pure electric range version, reaching an impressive 200km. For extended journeys, the hybrid mode provides a remarkable range of 1260km, with a fuel consumption rate of just 4.5L per 100 kilometers. Moreover, the car supports 6KW external discharge, allowing for flexible and convenient charging options.
With Han DM-p God of War Edition, the company has worked on design, style, and luxury. The exterior of the Han DM-p God of War Edition boasts a distinctive appearance, thanks to the use of BASF’s third-generation black paint. To enhance its allure, the car is adorned with special black aluminum powder and a tasteful blend of glass flakes, resulting in a delicate shimmer. Additionally, the vehicle is equipped with the War God Edition sports appearance package, which includes carbon black wheels, a matte black logo, black metal triangular windows and borders, and eye-catching golden armor yellow high-performance four-piston calipers.
Inside the car, the luxurious theme continues with high-end black suede seats, door panels, passenger-side panels, and center console armrests, all contributing to an opulent ambiance. The interior is further enhanced with black carbon fiber material, yellow stitching, and gold-yellow safety belts, adding a touch of sophistication and elegance to the overall design.
BYD Auto’s official Weibo account made an announcement stating that the combined orders for the Han DM-i Champion Edition and DM-p God of War Edition had surpassed 8,051 units on the launch day itself. Among these orders, 35.9% were for the 200 km models. The 200 KM models specifically refer to the 200KM version of the Han DM-i Champion Edition and the Han DM-p God of War Edition. This overwhelming response indicates a strong market demand for these electric vehicle variants offered by BYD Auto.
