How much could you save on the BYD Han?
Overview
About the BYD Han
The BYD Han is China's answer to the Mercedes EQE and BMW i5 — a flagship luxury sedan at roughly $20,000 less than either German rival. Its 85 kWh Blade LFP battery delivers 521 km of WLTP range, while the dual-motor AWD powertrain puts out 380 kW (517 hp) and 700 Nm of torque for a 3.9-second sprint to 100 km/h. The cabin is where the Han makes its strongest pitch: premium materials throughout, DiPilot driver assistance, and a distinctive "Dragon Face 2.0" design language that stands apart from the German monoculture. The LFP chemistry is a genuine advantage for Canadian ownership — daily 100% charges won't degrade the pack, and cold-weather resilience beats NMC batteries, though you should budget roughly 25% range loss in winter for a realistic 390 km. The trade-offs: 120 kW DC charging is adequate rather than class-leading, the $72,000 CAD price exceeds Quebec's $65K Roulez vert cap (zero provincial rebate), and as a Chinese-built EV it is not eligible for the federal $5,000 EVAP program. For buyers willing to trade badge prestige for substantial savings, the Han makes a compelling case.
Editorial take
Our Verdict
Strengths
- 517 hp AWD and 3.9 s to 100 km/h — genuine sports-sedan pace at a luxury discount
- 521 km WLTP from LFP battery: charge to 100% daily without degradation worry
- Roughly $20,000 below Mercedes EQE and BMW i5 — value gap is hard to ignore
Watch Out For
- 120 kW DC charging is mid-pack — road trips take patience vs 800V rivals
- $72,000 exceeds Quebec's $65K rebate cap: zero provincial incentive
- Not eligible for the $5,000 federal EVAP rebate (Chinese-built)
