The BYD Da Han, a flagship sedan, will make its debut in the Chinese market with both plug-in hybrid electric and battery electric powertrains. Reportedly, Build Your Dream will launch this electrified sedan in the third quarter of 2026. Recently, the production-ready version of the same was spotted testing undisguised in China; the spy shots of it are floating on the web, which reveal its exterior. Let’s have a closer look:
- Upfront it has ultra-slim split-style LED headlights, a full-width LED daylight running light, side air curtains, lower air intakes, and a roof-mounted lidar sensor.
- On the sides, it features flared wheel arches, multi-spoke alloy wheels, a front-door-mounted double-toned outside rear-view mirror, and flush-type door handles.
- At the back, it gets a through-type, full-width LED taillight with the BYD lettering at the center of the tailgate, a roof-integrated windshield, black bumper cladding with a skid plate, and a number plate holder on the tailgate.
China’s MIIT filing catalogue release has already revealed BYD Da Han dimensions. The upcoming sedan from BYD measures 5,256 mm in length, 1,999 mm in width, and 1,510 mm in height. Its wheelbase, the distance between the axles, is 3130 mm. It will make its debut as a five-seater in a 2-3 layout because its proportions allow all occupants to get ample legroom, headroom, and shoulder room.

The biggest hint towards it is the light detection and ranging sensor that sits on the roof. Rear-wheel steering is also expected for this model, which reduces the turning radius by moving the rear wheel opposite to the front ones when driving at low speeds.
