Chinese automaker BYD has teased two upcoming models, the Tang L SUV and Han L sedan, signaling the start of heightened competition in the country’s new energy vehicle (NEV) market for 2025. The company shared teaser images of both models today on Weibo, marking the first public mention of these new vehicles.
BYD has not provided additional details about the Tang L and Han L, which have yet to appear in regulatory databases. However, the images reveal that both models will be equipped with LiDAR technology, a feature not found in the current versions of the Tang and Han. LiDAR is expected to enhance the intelligent driving capabilities of these vehicles.
The Tang and Han models are key to BYD’s Dynasty lineup, with the Tang serving as the flagship SUV and the Han as the flagship sedan. Both models are available in hybrid DM-i and DM-p variants, as well as pure electric EV versions.
The 2025 Tang DM-i, which was launched on October 25, 2024, is a seven-seater SUV, with dimensions of 4,870 mm in length, 1,950 mm in width, and 1,725 mm in height.
