Competition in China's new energy vehicle (NEV) market is set to intensify with BYD starting 2025 with a teaser of two new models.
The NEV maker today posted two teaser images of the Tang L SUV (sport utility vehicle) and Han L sedan on Weibo, its first mention of the two new models.
BYD has not released any more information about the Tang L and Han L, and the two new models have not previously appeared in regulatory databases.
These two images show that both the Tang L and Han L will feature LiDAR on the roof, a component that is not featured on the current Tang and Han family models and is expected to deliver enhanced intelligent driving capabilities.
