BYD introduced the Qin L DM-i on May 28th, marking the debut of their groundbreaking fifth-generation DM hybrid technology. This advanced system achieves the world’s highest engine thermal efficiency at 46.06% and the lowest fuel consumption of 2.9L/100km, ensuring exceptional efficiency and an extended driving range.
Stylish and Technologically Advanced
The Qin L DM-i is a sleek sedan that merges contemporary design with state-of-the-art technology. The exterior showcases BYD’s latest family design, featuring a bold front grille, sharp LED headlights resembling “dragon crystals,” and a sporty fastback silhouette. The interior is driver-centric with a large central console screen (available in 12.8 or 15.6 inches) and a multi-function steering wheel for ease of use. High-end variants include additional comfort features such as electric seat adjustments, ventilation, and heating.
Power and Range
The vehicle is powered by a plug-in hybrid system that combines a 1.5L engine with an electric motor. This setup, along with BYD’s blade lithium iron phosphate battery technology, offers a potential combined driving range of up to 2,100 kilometers. Drivers can select from two battery options based on their requirements: a lower capacity battery providing an 80km pure electric range or a larger battery extending that range to 120km (under CLTC conditions).
With its remarkable mix of efficiency, technology, and design, the Qin L DM-i is available in five models, starting at 99,800 yuan.
