| New price CN | EUR 72,000 (Germany pre-sale, Sept 2022; minimal sales) |
| Used price signal | UNVERIFIED |
| Value call | Respect it, don't import it: no viable export buy; only sensible in China where supported |
| Sweet-spot year | 2024 |
| Years to avoid | 2020-2021 launch builds; 2022 EU cars at fantasy pricing with orphan support; the export Han entirely unless local support is verified |
| Reliability flag | No Han-specific recalls; no battery/drivetrain failure waves in accessible sources; early 2021 coolant controversy (no recall) |
| Biggest risk | Buying any export Han without verified local support; paying anything near the 2022 EUR 72k anchor |
| Community verdict | A museum piece you can still buy new in China and a ghost everywhere else |
