Exterior Design

The BYD Qin PLUS DM-i adopts the brand’s iconic “Dragon Face” design language, a signature style of BYD’s Dynasty Series compact plug-in hybrid sedans, which perfectly integrates traditional Chinese cultural elements with modern new energy aesthetics, highlighting its positioning as a high-quality, cost-effective compact plug-in hybrid family sedan. It features a sleek and dynamic front fascia with a large-size hexagonal air intake grille, decorated with dense short chrome horizontal strips inside, and a penetrating chrome trim strip connects the LED split headlights on both sides, which not only lengthens the visual width of the front face but also enhances the sense of fashion. The center of the trim strip is inlaid with the iconic seal-script “Qin” logo, clearly indicating the identity of the model, while the four three-dimensional lines on the engine hood and the thick downward-pressed front end create a diving visual effect, injecting a strong sporty atmosphere. It is equipped with sharp integrated LED headlights with a three-dimensional and sharp shape, paired with unique dynamic daytime running lights, and the rear is equipped with a stylish through-type LED taillight, matched with an upturned ducktail spoiler, which is highly recognizable and shows a strong sense of technology when lit. The rear is also fitted with a redesigned rear bumper with black decorative panels, which echoes the front design and further highlights its dynamic charm as a compact sedan. The body is available in multiple color options: Snowfield White, Jet Black, Ink Jade Blue, Mo Bamboo Green, Star River Beige, and Wei Yang Gray, catering to the aesthetic needs of different young and family users. In addition, its side profile is decorated with smooth and sleek lines, with chrome trim strips around the windows, and optional multi-style wheel hubs and blackened rearview mirrors, creating a layered and refined visual effect; the streamlined body design further optimizes aerodynamic performance and reduces energy consumption.

In terms of dimensions, the vehicle measures 4,780 mm in length, 1,837 mm in width, and 1,515 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,718 mm. As a 4-door 5-seat compact sedan, it provides a spacious and comfortable interior space that surpasses the same level, fully meeting the needs of mainstream Chinese families. The rear seats feature a 40/60 split-folding design, which can expand the trunk space to meet daily commuting, shopping and occasional travel needs, fully reflecting its practicality as a family sedan. The overall space layout is reasonable, with sufficient headroom and legroom for both front and rear seats, and a nearly flat rear floor, ensuring a comfortable riding experience for all passengers, especially suitable for urban commuting and family short-distance travel. The front wing fender is also equipped with an exclusive chrome nameplate, further enhancing the sense of refinement.

Interior Design

The BYD Qin PLUS DM-i is equipped with a 12.3-inch full LCD instrument cluster and a standard 12.8-inch or optional 15.6-inch adaptive rotating floating central touchscreen (depending on the trim level), which is equipped with the latest DiLink 100 intelligent cockpit system (high-end version), supporting full-scenario intelligent voice interaction, mobile phone connection, microphone-free KTV, game center and other functions, delivering a convenient and smooth visual and interactive experience. The system has high recognition accuracy and fast response, and built-in a large number of APP ecosystems to meet diverse user needs; it also supports OTA remote upgrade, remote vehicle control, mobile phone NFC and Bluetooth key unlocking functions, enhancing the convenience of use significantly. The interior design is simple and practical, adopting a wrap-around cockpit design with a large area of soft wrapping materials, and a variety of interior color schemes are available to create a warm and comfortable atmosphere. The center console retains the physical buttons of commonly used functions, which are designed in line with ergonomics for easy operation; the high-end models are also equipped with a high-quality sound system, bringing an excellent audio experience. In terms of features, the standard model comes equipped with 16-inch or 17-inch wheels, front and rear airbags, front and rear row through-type side air curtains, rear parking sensors, 360-degree high-definition panoramic image, automatic air conditioning, and 3.3kW VTOL external power output (mobile power station function), among other practical functions. The higher-spec models (especially the 2026 version) add DiPilot 100 intelligent driving assistance system (Tian Shen Zhi Yan C-version), W-HUD head-up display, and other configurations, further enhancing the comfort, safety and practicality of the vehicle.

Powertrain

The BYD Qin PLUS DM-i is exclusively equipped with the fifth-generation DM-i super hybrid system, paired with an E-CVT continuously variable transmission, which is composed of BYD’s Xiaoyun 1.5L plug-in hybrid dedicated engine, EHS electric hybrid system and DM-i dedicated power-type blade lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery pack, bringing the product advantages of high efficiency, low fuel consumption, quietness, smoothness and strong power. The 1.5L engine has a maximum power of 81 kW and a peak torque of 135 Nm, with a thermal efficiency reaching a high level, ensuring efficient energy utilization; the motor has a maximum power of 120 kW, with a combined horsepower of up to 264 HP, and an official 0-100 km/h acceleration time of about 7.9 seconds, ensuring a brisk and smooth driving experience suitable for urban commuting. The vehicle is equipped with BYD blade lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery packs of multiple capacities, including the 25.28 kWh large-capacity battery pack for the 2026 version, offering NEDC-rated pure electric ranges of 128 km and 210 km respectively, with a comprehensive cruising range of up to 2110 km, effectively solving the anxiety of long-distance travel. The long-range version supports 15kW DC fast charging, taking approximately 30 minutes to charge from 30% to 80%, and AC normal charging is also supported. The fuel consumption in the feed state is as low as 2.79 L/100km, which is extremely economical and can greatly save the user’s travel costs, conforming to the current concept of energy conservation and environmental protection. In addition, the vehicle adopts a front MacPherson independent suspension and a rear torsion beam non-independent suspension, carefully tuned to bring a superior riding texture, with excellent handling and comfort, and a flexible body, making it suitable for both urban commuting and long-distance travel.
