In the newly released sales data for September, we can see that in the sedan market, many domestic sedans ranked among the top. Among them, the most noteworthy thing is that BYD Qin beat Nissan Sylphy and became the domestic A-class sedan sales champion in a single month. You should know that the automotive field has always been the weakness of domestic brands, and it is indeed not easy to achieve such results. But the question is, why did Sylphy , which can be called the "king of A-class cars", lose to BYD Qin?
In fact, since this year, BYD Qin's sales have grown rapidly and have become the first choice for many Chinese people to buy family sedan models. According to data from the China Passenger Car Association, in the first eight months of this year, Qin's cumulative sales reached 217,934 vehicles, far exceeding Corolla , and gradually approaching Lavida . Now in September, the Qin family's sales reached 39,515 units, of which EV models increased by 142.1% year-on-year. It’s not that Sylphy’s sales have declined, but that BYD Qin has grown too fast.
As one of the most affordable A-class models of BYD , Qin PLUS's sales have always performed well. It has been favored by Chinese people since its launch. In addition, the rise in oil prices helped BYD to steal many orders for joint venture A-class cars.
In addition, from the perspective of product strength, Qin PLUS is indeed a relatively distinctive compact sedan, with BYD's latest Longyan design and a standard A+ class sedan body (length/width/height: 4765/1837/1495mm, wheelbase: 2718mm).
Currently, Qin PLUS covers two powers, EV and DM-i, among which DM-i contributes a lot. The DM-i super hybrid uses a plug-in hybrid system composed of 1.5L engine + motor + battery, where the maximum horsepower of the engine is 115 horsepower and the maximum torque of the is 135N·m.
And Qin PLUS DM-i can have such strong sales performance, which is closely related to this set of motivation. In addition to the green license plate policy and exemption of purchase tax, for some users who do not have charging conditions, Qin PLUS DM-i can directly drive a fuel vehicle and have a fuel consumption of 3.8L/100km when it is out of power.

This fuel consumption performance is not only more economical than Corolla Dual Engine (4L/100km), but even the plug-in Corolla Dual Engine E+ (4.3L/100km) is not as good as it.
The most important thing is that the price of Qin PLUS DM-i is only .1118-15180,000 , which is directly comparable to the price of mainstream oil vehicles of the same level. In addition, compared with the HEV models of Nissan , Toyota , and Honda, Qin PLUS DM-i can also be used as a green brand. In this way, both the cost of buying a car and the cost of using a car are quite cost-effective. Who can not be moved?
There is another point. In addition to supporting slow charging, the Qin PLUS DM-i also has a fast charging function. This will solve the pain point of plug-in hybrid models without fast charging, greatly improving the car usage experience.

Of course, in addition to the BYD Qin family, the Han family and Dolphins have also achieved quite good results, entering the top ten of the sedan rankings. This also means that as a representative of domestic cars, BYD's understanding of technology and products has been fully recognized by the market. Although there are many doubts on the Internet, BYD's persistence in technology and a series of practices such as not increasing prices after becoming popular have been recognized and praised by many Chinese people.
In short, BYD has performed very well this year, and its sales in September exceeded 200,000 units, which also shows that BYD's popularity is not a flash in the pan. This is not luck or accident, but an inevitable result of the development of domestic brands. The pattern of the domestic sedan market being monopolized by joint venture brands will eventually be broken. With the rise of independent brands, who will be the next one to squeeze out the top ten in joint venture brands?
