Because BYD Auto can already be regarded as the "leader" in the field of new energy vehicles in the mainland, many consumers will not hesitate to choose BYD's models when buying a car. However, BYD's models currently have both plug-in hybrid models and pure electric models, and not all of BYD's models are acceptable to consumers. Today, let's talk about the Qin EV, as BYD's compact car, its sales performance is not particularly outstanding, in March 2024, it only ranked 75th in the pure electric vehicle sales list. So how exactly is the Qin EV performing, and what is the reason for its decent sales?
First of all, the range of the Qin EV is still an issue to be concerned about. At present, the model provides consumers with a pure electric range of 405km/450km, which is obviously not good enough. Although BYD Auto's technology for range continues to improve, for users who travel long distances or need to charge frequently, the range of the Qin EV may not meet the demand. The range of the Qin EV also has certain shortcomings when driving at high speeds for a long time. Since electric vehicles are powered by batteries, driving at high speeds will lead to rapid consumption of battery energy. When the vehicle is driven on the highway, the Qin EV's ability to maintain high-speed operation for a long time and the range will be significantly reduced. Therefore, among users who need to travel long distances frequently, the range performance of the Qin EV may be difficult to meet their needs.
Secondly, the inconvenience of charging facilities is also a shortcoming of Qin EV. One thing to say, although the layout of electric vehicle charging piles has been expanding, there are still some areas where charging piles are scarce and charging speed is slow. This causes inconvenience to the user to charge and may limit the range of use of the Qin EV. The Qin EV's battery takes a long time to charge, which has also become one of the bottlenecks in its range. For users with fast-paced lives, a long charging process will waste valuable time. If charging facilities become more widespread and convenient in the future, the problem of insufficient range of the Qin EV may be alleviated.
In addition, the price of Qin EV is also one of the concerns of some consumers. Although the price of electric vehicles has gradually decreased with the advancement of technology, the price of Qin EVs is still higher than that of traditional fuel vehicles to a certain extent. At present, the guide price range of Qin EV models on sale is from 155,800 yuan to 169,800 yuan, which is already higher than the current price of many new energy mid-size cars, which may discourage some consumers with limited budgets.
Finally, the quality and safety performance of the Qin EV are also concerns for some users. Although the quality and safety performance of electric vehicles are gradually improving, there are still some users who have doubts about the safety of electric vehicles. For these users, the lack of safety performance of Qin EV may become one of the obstacles to their purchase of electric vehicles. In terms of safety configuration, the performance of the Qin EV is not very good, in terms of active safety configuration, it only provides consumers with basic safety configurations such as body stability system and traction control system, and in terms of passive safety, this model does not provide consumers with many airbags, even the top version, equipped with only 6 airbags. In terms of auxiliary control configuration, the performance of the Qin EV has not been able to keep up with the trend, not only does it not have functions such as full-speed adaptive cruise, but even the 360° panoramic image function is not equipped.
Although Qin EV has some shortcomings, as an electric vehicle, its advantages in environmental protection and energy saving cannot be ignored. The Qin EV's powerful power and excellent handling performance are also one of the highlights that attract users. In addition, the performance of the Qin EV in terms of intelligent technology and comfort is also satisfactory. Compared with its competitors, the current models of Qin EV also provide consumers with more mainstream intelligent interconnection functions, satisfying the pursuit of ordinary consumers for automotive intelligent technology.
In summary, although Qin EV has some shortcomings, these problems are expected to be solved with the continuous advancement of technology and the continuous change of user needs. We believe that through continuous improvement and innovation, Qin EV will be able to better meet the needs of users and bring users a better car experience." Of course, the price of the Qin EV is currently at a high level in the market, and if the price of the Qin EV can be adjusted, I believe that the sales performance of this model will also increase significantly. In addition, the 2024 Beijing Auto Show is about to open, do you think the Qin EV will be unveiled at this auto show?
