It is positioned as a compact pure electric car and is available in five color options.
It is worth mentioning that the car has two different versions of weight, 1,285kg and 1,405kg, which means it will have two range options.
BYD‘s flagship model is the Han, and the company launched a lower-priced standard-range version of the Han EV on July 31, after Tesla cut the price of the Model 3 in China.
This model has an NEDC range of 506km and a subsidized price of RMB 209,800.
Previously it was priced at RMB 229,800, RMB 255,800 and RMB 279,500 for three versions with NEDC ranges of 605km, 605km and 550km respectively.
