As a veteran car company, BYD began to study new energy models as early as more than ten years ago, and the results achieved are also very gratifying: its blade batteries take into account certain performance, and the safety is also in place, so not only their own models are used, other car companies also have large quantities of blade batteries. As a fuel model, how does BYD's product performance? Is the technical level inferior to that in the field of new energy? Today, I will pull a Qin to interpret it.
BYD Qin is a compact sedan, facing the market below 100,000 yuan, this price point of domestic models are numerous, but Qin is also more affordable in this, after all, its starting price is 64,900 yuan, and the automatic model is also expensive 10,000 yuan, such as the next 1.5L automatic luxury version model, the guidance price is 74,900, or very attractive. So what is the strength of the product?
From the front face, BYD Qin adopts a more obvious dragon face shape, and the multi-channel chrome trim is very conspicuous. Even if you cover the LOGO, you can see at a glance that it is a BYD model, of course, as an automatic low-end model, its headlights are made of halogen, but the automatic headlights and delay shutdown function are still equipped, and there is no difference between high-end models.
Come to the side, you can see that the silhouette of BYD Qin is still relatively stretched, unlike the performance of the body length of only 4675mm, and the wheelbase is 2670mm, which is a medium-to-high level in the same class of cars, of course, bydir Qin's entire series is equipped with 16-inch aluminum alloy wheels as standard, and with 205 width tires, it is still a relatively normal level.
Coming to the rear of the car, BYD Qin has a very wide LED taillight, and the use of blackening treatment is more cool, and the upper part is also connected to the two sides of the taillights by a slender strip of chrome trim, which can effectively stretch the visual width of the tail. The rear bumper is also surrounded by plastic and the exhaust pipe is concealed.
Entering the car, you can see that the interior of BYD Qin is still very simple, the top of the center console is made of black plastic, and the center is covered with a large area of silver trim, and the obvious color contrast is still very layered. Of course, the adaptive rotatable central control touch screen on the BYD model is not absent, and the 8-inch specification is used on the 1.5L automatic deluxe version, which is not as visual as the 10.1-inch of the top model, but it is enough to meet the daily multimedia entertainment functions.
In addition to the top model, the rest of the Qin use a plastic steering wheel, the feel is more general, but the flat-bottomed shape is still a bit sporty. The dashboard is not a full LCD specification, but a 5-inch LCD screen is left in the center of the traditional double cylinder instrument, and the display effect is not as good as that of the full LCD dashboard. Of course, the 1.5L automatic luxury version, like the rest of the models, only has the front row double airbags, and the safety protection is not complete, but fortunately, the functions such as reversing radar, reversing image, and automatic parking are still retained.
BYD Qin's entire series uses imitation leather material seats, and the fit and wrapping are good, but the whole series adopts manual mode adjustment, which is not thick enough. The rear seats also have only two independent headrests, the 1.5L automatic deluxe version lacks the rear central armrest, which is also relatively shabby, fortunately, the space performance is still competent, and the rear central platform is basically not significantly raised, which can meet the space needs of 3 normal-size passengers.
As a 1.5L automatic luxury version model, the head does not even have an ordinary specification electric sunroof, which is indeed a bit unrelated to the word luxury. And only the top model supports the rear seats to be reclined proportionally, and the rest of the models are not even equipped with the rear seats as a whole, which is indeed a bit cost-effective. Open the rear tailgate of Qin, the conventional volume of the trunk is still enough to meet the storage needs of daily items.
In terms of power, BYD Qin uses a 1.5L four-cylinder naturally aspirated engine, which can output a maximum power of 80kW, as well as a maximum torque of 148 N·m, in this era the parameter performance has been very commonplace, but the reliability and stability have withstood the test of time, in BYD before many models have also been equipped, word of mouth performance is good, 1.5L automatic luxury version is equipped with CVT stepless transmission, fuel consumption control is also very attractive, NEDC working conditions under the comprehensive fuel consumption of 6.2L / 100km, only 0.3L more than the manual model, the fuel consumption gap between the two cars is very small.
In terms of chassis, BYD Qin's performance is decent, using a front McPherson-style independent suspension, and a rear torque beam non-independent suspension, which can maximize the space in the car, and the adjustment level is also very large, and the sound insulation and vibration filter performance are still good. The main problem is that the wind noise and tire noise are obvious when driving at high speeds, and there is room for further improvement.
In summary, BYD Qin is a practical family car that meets the needs of the Chinese people, whether in terms of fuel consumption performance or space practicality, basically can meet the travel and commuting needs of the general family, in addition to the safety configuration is slightly lower, other aspects are very balanced, basically there is no obvious shortcoming, and its price is also very competitive, so in the current compact car market, it still occupies a very important place. If it can make more concessions in price in the later stage, I believe its sales performance can be further improved.
