What we know about BYD coming to Gatineau

Rollout plan: BYD's Canadian entry is expected to begin in late 2026 to early 2027, prioritising high-EV-adoption metros first. Gatineau sits within a first-wave province and should see availability shortly after the launch metros. Quebec is part of the first-wave launch region, which shapes when the Han is likely to be orderable locally.

Certification & import status: Before any sale, the BYD Han must meet Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (CMVSS). New Chinese-made EVs have also faced a 100% import surtax, which directly affects launch timing and pricing. For the current state of play, read our 2026 Chinese EV tariff guide.

Expected Gatineau pricing: Estimated at $72,000 CAD (around $70,000 after Quebec's $2,000 rebate). See the full BYD Han price breakdown for Gatineau.

While you wait: compare the Han against rivals, check the 521 km range against Gatineau winter conditions, and review full specs on the BYD Han page.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I buy the BYD Han in Gatineau right now?

No. As of 2026, the BYD Han — like all Chinese-built EVs — is not yet on sale in Canada. BYD sits within a first-wave province and should see availability shortly after the launch metros, with availability in Gatineau projected for late 2026 to early 2027. The best way to be first in line is to reserve your spot and get notified the moment Gatineau availability is confirmed.

When is the BYD Han release date in Gatineau?

Gatineau falls into the first wave (secondary) of the expected Canadian rollout, with a projected window of late 2026 to early 2027. Timing depends on dealer network buildout, vehicle certification with Transport Canada, and the evolving tariff situation on Chinese-made EVs. Dates are estimates and not yet officially confirmed by BYD.

Can I import a BYD Han to Gatineau myself before launch?

Privately importing a new BYD Han into Canada is generally not practical today: the vehicle must meet Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (CMVSS), and new Chinese-made EVs have faced a 100% import surtax. For almost all buyers, waiting for the official BYD Canadian launch is the realistic path. Read our tariff explainer for the latest on the import situation.

How much will the BYD Han cost in Gatineau?

The BYD Han is expected to be priced around $72,000 CAD, or about $70,000 after Quebec's $2,000 provincial rebate. Chinese EVs are not eligible for the federal EVAP rebate. See our Gatineau pricing breakdown for the full estimate.
