I have to say that as the star-level best-selling product of BYD, a "leading domestic new energy brand", every move of the Qin series family seems to be enough to affect the hearts of countless consumers. As the "parent company", BYD, in the face of its star-level models, obviously knows how to amplify this "ID", right? After all, the first model to promote another wave of "price war" as a "Glory Edition" model is the Qin PLUS; After the development of the new 5th-generation DM-i technology, the first model will also be a new member of the Qin series family, that is, the new BYD Qin L, which is currently very popular!
As BYD Qin L has made its debut at the 2024 Beijing Auto Show and is about to be officially launched on the 28th of this month; A few days ago, some netizens finally took pictures of its actual car arriving at the store at the local dealership. Without further ado, let's take a sneak peek through the lens of netizens.
Looking back on the appearance, as a new model positioned between Han and Qin PLUS, the overall design of BYD Qin L still has a strong BYD "Dynasty" family series atmosphere. It also features a large point-of-rectangular grille at the front, complemented by "dragon whisker" headlights. However, its optimized "Qin" character relief and the blackened trim below, coupled with the wide-body front surrounding, make its front face more sporty.
On the side of the body, the fastback layout of the BYD Han and Qin PLUS still exists in the body of the Qin L; And its well-defined waist line, with close-spoke wheels, makes its side face sense of strength and dynamic beauty, basically on par with the "big brother" Han.
At the rear of the new car, you can see more new BYD design elements. Just like its tail lights, on the basis of the "Chinese knot" style halo, it has been optimized to be more three-dimensional; And the two-stage diffuser surrounded by it and the new English logo can also deepen the youthful painting style of its tail.
As for the interior, the Qin L will also follow the latest design of the brand family at this stage. On the basis of the long full LCD instrument and the suspended central control screen, there is an electronic stop handle wrapped in crystal texture; Supplemented by a long air conditioning outlet and a piano black lacquer panel, the console can also create a high-end technological texture. In addition, the new car will be equipped with a new generation of DiLink intelligent connected vehicle machine system.
In terms of space, considering that the Qin PLUS is a compact sedan with family attributes, it is already excellent in terms of space. The Qin L has a body measurement of 4830/1900/1495mm and a wheelbase of 2790mm, which is already a full circle larger than the Qin PLUS; Therefore, in terms of internal space performance alone, Qin L still does not disappoint.
For the power part, the official has not yet given detailed parameters. However, according to other sources, the new BYD Qin L will have the 5th generation DM-i technology; According to the declaration information, it will be equipped with a 1.5L DM-i plug-in hybrid system, with a maximum engine power of 74 kilowatts and a motor maximum power of 160 kilowatts.
Finally, according to Qin L's own strength performance and positioning in the family, the editor personally believes that its starting price is likely to be around 120,000. Of course, the final price is subject to the official announcement. As for the final direction of BYD Qin L, let's wait and see.
