Today (October 27), the third-generation Qin PLUS DM-i officially launches with 3 models, offering a limited-time super value price of 76,900 to 97,900 yuan after trade-in subsidies. Can it meet your car-buying needs for a large space that can fit the whole family's luggage, low fuel consumption to reduce daily expenses, good looks for face when driving out, and enough intelligent features to keep family car use worry-free? Taking advantage of the new car launch, let's take a closer look together.
Starting with the space everyone cares about, multi-person travel and long-distance trips are common for family cars. In the past, the rear space of many compact family sedans was somewhat cramped; when fully loaded, rear passengers had little room to stretch their legs, and the trunk could not fit large luggage. The third-generation Qin PLUS DM-i has specifically optimized its body dimensions, reaching 4840*1900*1498 mm in length, width, and height, with a wheelbase of 2800 mm. It offers outstanding passenger cabin space in its class, with overall space performance comparable to many mid-size models, effectively alleviating space anxiety during multi-person travel.
In addition to being spacious enough, this car's comfort has also been optimized. The front seats are equipped with ventilation and heating functions, and the rear seat cushion has been lengthened by 21 mm, so long journeys do not feel cramped. The whole vehicle has 33 storage spaces, and the 570L extra-large trunk can easily hold personal items for daily commuting as well as suitcases and camping gear for family trips. Whether for daily transportation or long family journeys, it can handle everything with ease.
Exterior design is something many young consumers value highly when buying a car, and the third-generation Qin PLUS DM-i adopts a completely new design style that precisely matches the aesthetic needs of young users. The new car's front face cancels the previous generation's large-size air intake grille and adopts a wind-breaking sporty front-end design. The shark-nose profile joins the air ducts on both sides flowing forward, making the front face look more layered. Paired with sharp-eye blade headlights and flowing-light auspicious-finish taillights, the vehicle's refinement and sportiness are both enhanced. It is also equipped with larger 17-inch sporty wheels, giving it a more imposing look.
To meet users' personalized needs, the new car offers a rich selection of paint colors, including 9 colors such as Island Blue and Titanium Gray, as well as a two-tone exterior option in Island Blue and Ink Bamboo Green. The interior also offers two premium tones, Cloud Yarn Beige and Ink Smoke Gray. The instrument panel uses soft-wrapped materials and warm wood grain, paired with a 12.8-inch central control screen, an 8.8-inch semi-embedded LCD instrument panel, and a new two-spoke leather steering wheel, combining a sense of technology with warmth and fully satisfying different users' personalized aesthetics.
For ordinary families, the cost of car use is an important consideration. The third-generation Qin PLUS DM-i delivers impressive energy consumption performance, solving the burden of high fuel consumption. As the sales champion in the compact family sedan market for 3 consecutive years, Qin PLUS itself already has a strong reputation for low fuel consumption and long range, attracting more than 1.85 million car owners in total. The third-generation Qin PLUS DM-i further optimizes energy consumption, with fuel consumption as low as 2.58L per 100 km even when the battery is depleted, placing it among the better performers in its class and dispelling concerns that spacious models tend to have higher fuel consumption.
In terms of range, the new car offers a 220-kilometer pure electric range that stands out among plug-in hybrid models in its class. For daily commuting, it can be used entirely as a pure electric vehicle, while the combined range with a full tank and full charge exceeds 2290 kilometers, so long-distance travel does not require frequent recharging. Using pure electric power for commuting and hybrid power for long trips means one car covers two travel needs, greatly reducing daily travel costs.
Intelligent features are also a key focus for today's users, and the third-generation Qin PLUS DM-i brings plenty of surprises in intelligence as well, balancing driving convenience and in-car entertainment needs. The cabin is equipped with the high-end version of the smart cockpit DiLink 150, whose system UI has been completely optimized and upgraded to meet the needs of navigation, entertainment, and other scenarios. Convenient operation and rich functions make daily car use easier and bring a more comfortable driving and riding experience.
The new car can be optionally equipped with God's Eye B assisted driving laser version and God's Eye 5.0. In common scenarios such as urban congestion, long-distance highways, and narrow road sections, it can achieve smooth following, precise judgment, and rapid response. After arriving at the destination, it also supports automatic parking, allowing the vehicle to park itself in a space, equivalent to having an experienced veteran driver on board and effectively reducing driving fatigue. BYD has also launched a 1-year urban navigation safety backstop service, making intelligent travel more secure.
Whether viewed from the perspective of space, appearance, energy consumption, or intelligence, the third-generation Qin PLUS DM-i absolutely hits the pain points of family car users. Combined with its affordable price, it should become a highly competitive choice in today's family sedan market. The new car has already begun arriving at stores. Consumers looking to buy a family car may want to visit a physical store for a test drive and see whether it is the practical vehicle that suits your family!
