BYD (HKG: 1211, OTCMKTS: BYDDY) has previewed two new models as it prepares to introduce new flagship additions to its Dynasty lineup.
The Chinese new energy-vehicle (NEV) maker announced at an event on Saturday that it will launch two D-segment models within the Dynasty lineup — the Han sedan's 9 series and the Tang SUV's (sport utility vehicle) 9 series.
Both models will debut in the first half of this year. Their official names remain undecided, with BYD now soliciting naming suggestions from its user community.
Proposed names for the new Han include "Great Han" (大汉 in Chinese) and Han 9; options for the new Tang include "Great Tang" (大唐 in Chinese) and Tang 9.
In China, the 9 series typically represents a brand's highest-end models, as the number 9 is considered supreme.
The 9 series Tang SUV will be the production version of the Dynasty-D full-size concept SUV unveiled by BYD at the April 2025 Shanghai auto show, targeting the premium market segment priced around RMB 400,000 ($57,330).
The Tang series is BYD's flagship SUV within its Dynasty lineup. Current models include the hybrid Tang L DM and Tang DM-i, along with the all-electric Tang L EV, with starting prices ranging from RMB 179,800 to RMB 289,800.
The series sold 10,129 units in December, bringing its 2025 annual sales to 154,908 units, according to data compiled by CnEVPost.
