html In September, the BYD Qin family surpassed Sylphy for the first time with a monthly sales of 37,415 vehicles. They thought they could take the top spot in the sedan sales list for the first time. The dramatic thing was that Hongguang MINI was instantly sold by one vehicle and ranked second.
However, in the mainstream 100,000-150,000 sedan market, the competition between Qin PLUS DM-i and Sylphy is still the focus of industry attention. At the same time, because the prices are similar, many consumers have difficulty in making a choice. So how should we choose these two cars?
Judging from the main sales models of these two cars, the price of Qin PLUS DM-i is 111,800-151,800 yuan, and the price of the 2022 Sylphy is 119,000-144,900 yuan, which is quite close.
First look at the body size. The length, width and height of Qin PLUS DM-i are 4765/1837/1495mm, and the wheelbase is 2718mm, while the length, width and height of the 2002 Sylphy are 4641/1815/1447mm, and the wheelbase is 2712mm.
can be seen that although the size difference is not large, Qin PLUS DM-i has a little advantage in every parameter, so Qin PLUS will have a larger space.
Since Sylphy inherited the Nissan "big sofa" gene, it is not worse than Qin PLUS DM-i in terms of riding comfort. In particular, the top luxury version of the 2002 Sylphy, the light brown interior and diamond-shaped stitched seats are better in creating a sense of luxury.
Of course, the advantage of Qin PLUS DM-i interior is that it has a more technological sense, such as suspended rotating PAD.
As for configuration, we will compare the Qin PLUS DM-i 120km premium model with a guide price of 135,800 yuan and the 2022 Sylphy 1.6L luxury version with a guide price of 144,900 yuan.
Although the official guide price of this Sylphy is higher, considering the market discounts, the prices of the two cars are almost the same.
Sylphy is a fuel vehicle, but in terms of intelligent configuration, it is not worse than Qin PLUS DM-i. For example, L2 intelligent assisted driving functions such as full-speed adaptive cruise, line parallel assistance, lane departure warning, active braking, fatigue driving prompt, forward collision warning, 360-degree panoramic image, etc., are more advantageous compared to Qin PLUS DM-i 120km premium model.
And Qin PLUS DM-i's advantages lies in its power and fuel consumption. The maximum engine power is 81kW, the maximum torque of , and the total power of motor is 145kW, and the total torque reaches 325N·m, which is far higher than Sylphy's maximum power of 99kW and the maximum torque of 159N·m.
The powerful power will also be directly reflected in the driving experience. The Qin PLUS DM-i 120km noble model only takes 7.3s. It not only starts faster, but also accelerates in the middle and rear sections.
In addition, the advantages of BYD Super Hybrid DM-i are also reflected in fuel efficiency. The fuel consumption of 5.2L per 100 kilometers under the comprehensive operating conditions of Sylphy NEDC is already very cheap in fuel vehicles.
, but the power feeding fuel consumption is still much higher than that of Qin PLUS DM-i 3.8L. In addition, Qin PLUS DM-i also has the longest pure electric range of 120km. If it is just a short-distance daily transportation, the cost of using the car will be lower.
Red Dot Car Review:
Sylphy has always been known for its large space and low fuel consumption. The reason why Qin PLUS DM-i has been able to gain popularity is on the one hand because it has made a breakthrough in space, and on the other hand, it is because of the support of the DM-i hybrid system, it has obvious advantages in power and fuel consumption.
However, it can also be seen that Qin PLUS DM-i does not have an advantage in configuration compared to Sylphy. The reason why the sales of these two cars are currently comparable is that neither of them has an absolute advantage over their competitors.
Therefore, if you want richer configurations and comfortable riding, you will choose Sylphy, and if you want stronger power and lower fuel consumption, you will choose Qin PLUS DM-i.
