BYD has released a series of new teaser images of its new luxury sedan, which will reportedly be called the Great Han. Sitting atop the brand’s luxurious Dynasty sub-brand in China, the new Great Han will share a lot with the Great Tang large SUV that was revealed at the Beijing Motor Show earlier this year, and will offer both electric and plug-in hybrid drivetrains with up to 1008km of driving range.

The teaser images released by BYD show the Great Han’s low-slung design and long wheelbase, likely giving it excellent aerodynamic efficiency. Still wrapped in camouflage, the Great Han shows similar detailing to the Sealion 8 already sold locally, such as aggressive headlights and a wraparound rear light bar, but also with a large glass area and possibly a liftback boot design.

According to CarNewsChina, the Great Han will borrow a lot from the Great Tang, so expect an interior dominated by three screens, as well as luxury finishing such as leather trims across the cabin.

Using the second generation BYD’s ‘Blade’ battery technology, the Great Han will be capable of charging through BYD’s new ‘Flash’ super-fast charging network, with 1500kW chargers supplying a full charge in as little as nine minutes.

According to preliminary information, the Great Han will be available in two models: rear-wheel drive Exclusive and all-wheel drive Flagship, with up to 1008km of driving range on the CLTC cycle. LiDAR tech will be standard across the range for the Great Han’s active safety systems.

It’s not yet known if the Great Han will be released in Australia, but BYD is on a roll locally with its 33,454 sales to the end of May 2026 a huge 120.1 per cent increase year on year.

But while those numbers are impressive, they’re nothing compared to its Chinese numbers: According to CarNewsChina, it sold a total of 376,990 units in China in May 2026 alone, making it China’s best-selling brand.
