In the first quarter of 2024, BYD handed over nearly one million new car sales figures, which is a large lead over other brands, but it is still far from its own plan to sell 5 million units in 2024. Therefore, it is imperative to launch a new car, and BYD's new mid-size car, the Qin L, is expected to be officially launched on May 28. It is reported that the starting price of the Qin L is expected to be more than 120,000 yuan, indicating BYD's further layout in the mid-size car market.
In terms of exterior design, the Qin L adopts BYD's latest "New National Tide Dragon Face Aesthetics" concept, with a combination of large-size front grille and dot matrix elements to create a strong visual impact. The headlight cluster is narrow and sharp, highly integrated with the luminous "dragon whisker" on the top, and the integrated design not only enhances the three-dimensional sense of the dragon face, but also amplifies the horizontal visual effect of the front face.
On the side of the body, the waistline of the Qin L runs from the front fender to the rear door, making the body line more slender. The design of the concave rib line adds the effect of three-dimensional cutting, highlighting the sense of power of the whole vehicle. The fastback shape design gives Qin L a more youthful "low-lying down" posture.
At the rear, the Qin L adopts a wider rear shoulder wrap-around design, which echoes the front face while increasing the muscular feeling of the body silhouette. The shape of the continuous taillights is inspired by Chinese knots, which not only enhances the recognizability, but also shows a modern interpretation of Chinese elements.
The body size of the Qin L is 4830/1900/1495mm, and the wheelbase is 2790mm.
In terms of interior, the design of Qin L is inspired by Chinese landscape painting, which integrates the agility of oriental landscapes with modern technology to create a "landscape painting cockpit".
The combination of the built-in large-size LCD instrument and the iconic rotatable central control screen makes the interior of the Qin L full of science and technology. The new style of three-spoke multi-function steering wheel and wireless mobile phone charging and other configurations meet the needs of users for modern cars.
In terms of power, the Qin L will be equipped with a plug-in hybrid system consisting of a 1.5-liter engine and an electric motor, and will be equipped with BYD's fifth-generation DM-i hybrid technology. The maximum power of the engine is 74 kilowatts, and the maximum power of the motor is 160 kilowatts. The new car will be equipped with a lithium iron phosphate battery from Zhengzhou Fodi, which will provide consumers with two battery capacities of 15.874 kWh and 10.08 kWh, corresponding to a WLTC pure electric range of 90 km and 60 km respectively.

At present, BYD's sales growth rate is obvious, in addition to the price reduction factor, low fuel consumption is the focus. In 2024, the technical competition has been white-hot, Chery and Geely are claiming that their new generation of hybrid technology can achieve 2000KM with full fuel and full power, and the technical advantages of BYD DM-i are shrinking.
