It's a very counterintuitive thing
The 789 Qin is not BYD's best-selling model
The seagull of 698 is.
The difference between the two is only 10,000 yuan, but Qin Ke is much bigger than the seagull. It stands to reason that there should be more people buying Qin.
In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the 2024 Glory Edition DM-i 55KM leading model are 4765mm, 1837mm, 1495mm, and the wheelbase is 2718mm, Qin is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine and an 8.32kWh battery and electric motor power combination, of which the maximum torque of the motor reaches 316N·m, the official 000 acceleration time comes to 7.9 seconds, and the WLTC comprehensive fuel consumption comes to 2.17L/100km, It can be said that it has both surging power and very economical low fuel consumption.
This is a very eye-catching feature in a family sedan, but there are many competitors in this model. In order to confront Qin, Xuanyi Langyi lowered prices one after another, diluting Qin's appeal in the short term.
In a word, it's not that Qin can't fight, it's just that there are too many competitors at the same level.
The advantage of the seagull is that it is unique.
The seagull's raised waistline and dark trim on the side skirts create a swooping silhouette. The length, width and height of the Seagull are 3780/1715/1540 mm, the wheelbase is 2500 mm, and the price range is 69,800-85,800 yuan, which is not much cheaper than the Qin. Based on BYD's e-platform 3.0 technology, the Seagull offers two cruising ranges of 305 km and 405 km, and provides DC fast charging of 30 kW and 40 kW depending on the model.
People who watch seagulls are aiming for its small and delicate start, good stop, and small and exquisite. Spending 79,800 yuan to buy a Qin will not attract the attention of others, but if you own a seagull, it will definitely attract the onlookers of friends around you.
The victory of Seagull over Qin is the victory of innovation over conservatism, what do you think?
It is hoped that Chinese car companies will develop more innovative new products. There is no future for following others, and finding ways to create some disruptive products that are innovative in appearance and in nature can complete the transcendence of old car companies.
