Overview
The Qin L was officially announced just before the Beijing Auto Show in April 2024.[2] Marketed alongside the older and smaller Qin Plus, the Qin L is the largest Qin to date with its length spanning over 4.8 m (189 in) into the mid-size segment.[3] The Qin L DM-i was launched in China on 28 May 2024, with five variants: 80 km Leading, 80 km Transcendence, 120 km Leading, 120 km Transcendence, and 120 km Excellence.[4][5]
Design and Equipment
The Qin L is the first BYD vehicle alongside the similar Seal 06 to use BYD's fifth-generation plug-in hybrid powertrain, which is marketed as DM-i 5.0. BYD claimed a fuel consumption of 2.9 L/100 km (97 mpg‑imp; 81 mpg‑US) and a combined range of over 2,000 km (1,200 mi) on a 65 L (14 imp gal; 17 US gal) tank with a 10 kWh battery.[6]
The exterior of the Qin L DM-i is part of the BYD's Dynasty vehicle series and adopts the series’ Dragon Face design language. The front fascia features illuminated "dragon whiskers" above the headlights, the Qin character on the front underlined by a chrome bar and a large grille. The side features a fastback design and traditional door grab handles. The rear fascia features a full-width LED taillight bar inspired by traditional Chinese knots and an illuminated BYD logo on the rear.[4][5]
For the suspension, Qin L DM-i uses MacPherson struts at the front and new E-type four-link independent suspensionat the rear.[4]
BYD claimed the interior of the Qin L DM-i is inspired by Chinese landscape paintings and the interior also incorporates various Chinese knot elements. The interior features DiLink intelligent cockpit with a 8.8-inch LCD instrument cluster, rotatable 15.6-inch touchscreen infotainment system, all-scenario intelligent voice control system, in-car ETC and mobile phone NFC key.[4][5]
For safety, Qin L DM-i is equipped with DiPilot L2 advanced driving assistant system.[4]
