The price of Qin PLUS DM-i is as low as 79,800 yuan, and the pure electric range is 46km, what else do you need for a bicycle?

In 1992, new energy vehicles came out in the mainland, and people at that time would not have thought that in just a few years, the market share of new energy vehicles was so high. Entering the third quarter of 2023, the "war" between new energy vehicles and joint venture vehicles has officially kicked off. Just after the Spring Festival, BYD Qin PLUS DM-i took the lead in lifting the table, with a starting price as low as 79,800 yuan, which is a full 20,000 yuan cheaper than the old car, so is the new car worth buying?

The Qin PLUS DM-i is a plug-in hybrid vehicle owned by BYD, which is currently available in 10 versions, including five 23 models and five 24 models, with prices ranging from 79,800 yuan to 145,800 yuan. I have a friend who is going to get married this year, in addition to the bride price, he is also burdened with a mortgage, so he doesn't have much budget in the car, this year I also saw the BYD Qin PLUS DM-i price cut, want me to help the staff, can he buy Qin PLUS DM-i?

After all, it's a friend, no matter how busy I am, I'm embarrassed to shirk, I accompanied him to our local 4S store, according to the salesman, Qin PLUS DM-i entry version of the pure electric range of 55km, under normal circumstances, relying on the motor to drive the vehicle, long distance or speed up after the engine intervenes in the work, in the state of feeding, the minimum charge fuel consumption is 4.6L/100km, short-distance money-saving, long-distance fuel saving is its biggest advantage.

"What is the all-electric range of the WLTC?" I asked first.

“46km”。

Fortunately, within the acceptable range, "is there a long battery life"?

"Yes, the long-range pure electric range can reach 120km."

Well, it seems that the configuration of the 23 and 24 models is the same, but the chance of friends going out is not great, go back to their hometown once a month, and basically use the car every day to travel, and now the budget is limited, so I told him, or buy a short battery life, there are ready-made charging piles at the door of our house, even if it is charged once every three days, it is quite convenient.

"Our Qin PLUS DM-i entry version only has one slow charging mode, but it only takes 2.52 hours to fully charge, and it won't delay too much time and cost, and even if there is no power, you can go with fuel, which is quite convenient."

"What about motivation"?

"The Qin PLUS DM-i is equipped with a plug-in hybrid system consisting of a 1.5L engine + drive motor, with a maximum engine output of 81kW, a maximum motor power of 132kW, and an E-CVT continuously variable transmission.

The powertrain is not crotched in the same class, according to the user description of the 23-year car circle, the power output of Qin PLUS DM-i is relatively stable, the start and acceleration are very fast, there is no obvious frustration, and there is no big problem in daily household use. The steering wheel feels light, the steering is flexible, and the braking sensitivity is also good, so you don't have to be too nervous when you get to the congested roads in the city, and novice drivers can easily deal with it. Although the chassis material is slightly general, the tuning technique is still very good, the driving is quite stable, giving people a full sense of security, and usually through continuous speed bumps or something, the bumpy feeling is still there. After all, the price is here, so it's understandable.

After listening to the salesman's story, the two of us went to the car to try it out, the interior of the Qin PLUS DM-i entry version follows the design style of the old car, and the layered center console is spliced by soft materials and piano paint panels, and the fine workmanship is still very good in the same price range.

In addition, the seat cushion of the car is very soft, and it is particularly comfortable to sit on, with a clear display on the 10.1-inch central control screen, and a large font on the panel, which can take care of the people in the back row. A variety of functions such as automatic air conditioning, electric heating of exterior mirrors and mobile phone Bluetooth keys are all given, and such a configuration must be in the middle version of the joint venture car.

Although this car is at the level of driving assistance images, it only provides reversing images, but it is more than enough to meet daily use, and my friend's budget is limited, so I persuaded him to consider starting, the configuration is consistent with the 23 models, and the price is 20,000 yuan cheaper, what else do you want a bicycle. As a result, he told me that he was quite satisfied with other aspects, but he felt that Qin PLUS DM-i's appearance did not have much of a bright spot, and the decent shape did not match his temperament, so in the end we had to go home. A person has a person's aesthetics, and there is nothing wrong with his approach, after all, buying a car is not the same as buying groceries. As an aside, if it were you, would you consider Qin PLUS DM-i?
