Qin As the flagship product of BYD new energy sedan, it has gained attention with its abnormal acceleration time of 100 kilometers. With the need to expand BYD's product line, BYD Qin is no longer limited to the new energy version.
As early at the Chengdu Auto Show, BYD launched the pre-sale of the new generation of Qin fuel version (the pre-sale price range is 66,800-86,800 yuan). Now the new generation of Qin fuel/EV version is finally launched. The fuel version has a guide price of 64,900-81,900 yuan, and a fresh price of 59,900-76,900 yuan; the Qin EV high-end battery life version is priced at 129,900-139,900 yuan. Today, Brother Jiang will show you how the fuel version of Qin is like? See if it can be as famous as the new energy version.
Overall, the appearance of BYD Qin can be said to have undergone a major plastic surgery upgrade surgery on the previous generation model. The first thing that is eye-catching is the front face under the "Dragon Face" design. Although this design has been out for a while and is equipped with many BYD models, it is still not greasy now, and the hexagonal large-mouth grille looks very energetic. The five horizontal strips in the grille are exclusive to the fuel version, and the EV version adopts a short horizontal strip segmentation style.

The reason why Jiang Ge said that the new generation of Qin is the plastic surgery of the previous generation is related to this uninnovative side shape. Jiang Ge believes that BYD's existing design team is definitely capable of creating this side profile that has been used for more than ten years. This side with many old Corolla shadows shouldn't be.

Turn to the tail part, but the sharpness of the front face is still not revealed. The overall design lines of the headlights are flat and straight, and there is no through-type design. However, the through-chrome strips have improved a lot of class, but they lack the ostentatious feeling of the previous generation of Qin taillights.

In terms of appearance, BYD Qin Fuel Edition adopts a doll strategy, and the same is true for interior. The center console adopts a T-shaped design layout and is equipped with a large-size rotatable central control screen with DiLink networking system. The overall technology is mainly simplified. However, in the context of the borderless environment of mobile phone design, the BYD Qin manual version of the central control large screen has thick thick black borders, which really makes people want to smash the screen. Fortunately, the automatic and noble central control screen conforms to the mainstream aesthetics.

power, BYD Qin used 1.5L power very low-key. The absence of turbocharged power also shows that BYD's positioning of the Qin fuel version is more of a steady and stable household use. This 1.5L engine has a maximum power of 80kW and a maximum torque of 148N·m. It is matched with a 5MT gearbox or a CVT gearbox. In terms of parameters, it is basically the same as the popular independent compact family sedan Geely Emgrand .
The new BYD Qin fuel version is priced at 64,900-81,900 yuan, with a size of 4675/1770/1480mm and a wheelbase of 2670mm, making it a compact sedan.
In fact, in the field of fuel vehicles, BYD has already had a sedan with the same positioning - BYD Surui . BYD Surui was famous for its remote control driving function when it was first launched, but its sales were lukewarm and have been nearly 8 years since then. After the 2018 model, BYD Surui did not continue to be modified, which made Jiang Ge think that the Qin fuel version is very likely to replace BYD Surui.
Starting from mid-this year, national subsidies for new energy vehicles have declined on a large scale, and the impact of BYD, which regards itself as the leader of China's new energy vehicle, is clearly under the impact. In the third quarter, BYD's new energy vehicle sales fell by about 30% year-on-year. The net profit attributable to shareholders after deducting non-operating items in the third quarter was -153 million yuan, from profit to loss. Under pressure, BYD has to re-examine the importance of fuel vehicles.
After BYD Qin Pro was launched, its sales were not very popular. Therefore, BYD also hopes to create a cash bull in this field with a compact family sedan market of 50,000-100,000 yuan, which is expected to be a lower-level and independent brands can show their strength.However, from the current situation, old independent sedans represented by Geely Emgrand still have absolute reputation and popularity with old joint venture sedans such as Santana . If BYD wants to regain the fuel compact sedan market that has been abandoned for many years, it seems that it is still a bit difficult to rely on the Qin fuel version.
, looking at the brand new Qin New Energy, the price after subsidy is 132,900-169,900 yuan, which is relatively affordable. With the support of BYD's specialty new energy technology, Jiang Ge believes that BYD Qin New Energy still has a better sales channel than Qin. After all, in the field of traditional fuel, BYD does not have many advantages. From this point of view, it is not easy to turn back if you walk away from the road to new energy.
