1. Super e-platform: 1000V architecture for the whole region

◦ The world's first 1000V high-voltage system, supporting 10C megawatt flash charging technology, Han L charging 5 minutes to replenish 400km, Tang L replenishment of 370km, with a peak power of over 1000kW.

◦ High-speed motor: 30511rpm mass-produced motor sets a new industry record, with a single-module power of 580kW, a power density of 16.4kW/kg, and a combined dual-motor power of 1086hp.
2. DM-p hybrid system: energy efficiency and performance at the same time

◦ Fifth-generation hybrid technology, with fuel consumption of 4.6L/100km for Han L and 5.6L/100km for Tang L, both with a combined range of over 1200km.

◦ AI energy management: up to 18% fuel saving through navigation and driving habit optimisation; wheel-end decoupling technology enables intelligent 2WD/4WD switching.

3. Safety and Reliability

◦ Dedicated blade battery supports 322kW discharge capacity, and low-temperature adaptability is improved by 30%; 12 airbags and CTB battery-body integration technology are standard in the whole system.

Intelligent Driving and Cockpit: Full Scene High-order Experience 1. God's Eye B system

◦ Standard equipped with LIDAR + Orin-X chip, supporting urban NOA, automatic parking, full-speed domain AEB and other functions, covering high-speed, urban areas, parking three major scenarios.

◦ Spirit Iris drone (exclusive to Tang L): can dynamically take off and land, intelligently follow the car, expanding outdoor entertainment and shooting scenes.

2. DiLink 150 Intelligent Cockpit

◦ 4nm chip + DeepSeek R1 big model, supporting full-scene voice interaction; 5G network, AR-HUD, intelligent cold and warm refrigerator, etc. to enhance the sense of luxury.

◦ Cloud Car Pre-sighting System: dynamically adjusts suspension damping through road surface prediction to optimise bumps and curve handling.

Fourth, design and space: the combination of oriental aesthetics and pragmatism

1. Loong Face

◦ Han L adopts ‘Phoenix Plume’ tail lamps, inspired by the phoenix wings; Tang L tail lamps are modelled on the traditional bamboo weaving process, named ‘Bamboo Rhythm’.

◦ Body dimensions: Han L is 5050mm long with a wheelbase of 2970mm; Tang L is 5040mm long with a wheelbase of 2950mm, offering a flexible 7-seat layout.

2. Luxurious interior and space

◦ Han L is equipped with cloud sensing seats (heated/ventilated/massage), Danner audio, 3D bamboo veneer; Tang L has a maximum boot volume of 1960L and supports the ‘king-size bed room’ camping mode.

◦ Cockpit design: Han L rear shoulder space of 1484mm, Tang L up to 1512mm, to meet the needs of the family travelling many people.

V. Market Positioning: Impact on Joint Venture and High-end Markets

1. Han L: the disruptor of performance sedans

◦ Benchmarked against Tesla Model 3 High Performance Edition (about 360,000 RMB) and Xiaomi SU7 Ultra (320,000 RMB), seizing the 300,000-class market with 2.7-second acceleration and 1,000-horsepower.

2. Tang L: the ultimate choice for family users

◦ Directly facing medium and large SUVs such as Ideal L6 and Ask M7, it strengthens the family travelling scenario with its 7-seat layout, flexible space and drone expansion function.

3. Industry Impact

◦ Technology decentralisation: 1,000-horsepower motors, megawatt fast charging and other configurations originally belonging to million-dollar luxury cars are entering the 200,000-grade market for the first time, squeezing the share of JV-branded fuel cars.

◦ Eco-layout: more than 4,000 megawatt flash charging piles are planned globally, solving the anxiety of replenishment of pure electric models.

Summing up: the market revolution under the technology universalisation

The launch of Han L and Tang L is not only a concentrated demonstration of BYD's technological strength, but also a practice of the concept of ‘high-end technology for the common people’. Through innovations such as the Super e platform, DM-p hybrid system, and the God's Eye Intelligent Driving, BYD has pushed the balance of performance, intelligence and practicality to a new height. In the 200,000-300,000 RMB range, these two vehicles have not only reshaped consumers' perception of new energy vehicles with the combination of “1,000 horsepower + ultra-fast replenishment + luxury experience”, but also set a new benchmark for the industry in terms of technological universality. In the future, with the popularity of the megawatt charging network, BYD may continue to expand its leading edge in the field of electrification and intelligentisation.
