Days ago, we brought news of the 2025 model year BYD Han DM-i arriving at dealers ahead of sales. We can now confirm that sales will start on September 9 and bring further details about the new car. Key features of the 2025 model year car are the new DM 5.0 powertrain, along with the car being equipped with DiSus-C suspension, and DiPilot 300. Lu Tian, GM of BYD Dynasty Sales Division, on September 6 published official pictures of the car and gave further details on social media.
As we have previously mentioned, the 2025 Han DM-i looks significantly different from the previous PHEV version of the sedan, although it is still underneath the same car. It has a new front end that broadly aligns with the look of the all-electric version of the Han. It’s reported that buyers can opt for a blackened sports kit to customize the car. Furthermore, the 2025 year car introduces a new color, Weiyang gray. Strangely, at a time when BYD appears to be moving away from emblazoning its cars with the Build Your Dreams logo, the 2025 model year, Han still retains this. At the rear, the car features a through tail light incorporating Chinese knot elements.
Versions of the Han DM-i will be equipped with BYD’s Eye of the Gods DiPilot 300 system along with Lidar, which should offer the car a high degree of smart driving ability. It will also be equipped with the DiSus-C suspension system. This is the base version of BYD’s DiSus suspension systems and is an intelligent damping body control system similar to CDC variable damping shock absorbers. Reportedly, the car also has a new rear five-link suspension.
Dimensions of the Han (see specs) remain the same with 4975 1910, and 1495 mm (l/w/h), together with a wheelbase of 2920 mm. Curb weight of the 2025 model year Han is down by 10 kg at 1860 kg.
Based on shots taken at dealers, the 2025 model year car’s interior is believed to be similar to the existing model. The Han features a 15.6-inch rotatable infotainment screen, and the center console has piano black plastics.
The DM-i version of the Han uses a 1.5T BYD472ZQB engine with a maximum power of 115 kW. This is matched with a 200 kW electric motor. Fast Technology reports that there will be versions available with 75 km, 112 km, and 160 km all-electric ranges. Meanwhile, they claim the fuel consumption is 3.9 l/100 km using the NEDC measurement. However, seeing as they got the powertrain information about the car wrong, it is difficult to trust the veracity of this information. Lu Tian, however, has said that the fuel consumption does begin with a three, and we suspect it may actually be lower than 3.9 l/100 km.
