The Qin L EV was first introduced in February 2025. It was launched in China on 27 March 2025,[3] with three variants: 470 km Leading, 545 km Transcendance and 545 km Excellence.[4]
Design and Equipment
The exterior of the Qin L EV adopts the series’ Dragon Face design language. The front fascia is split with triangular headlights on both sides, the Qin (秦) character located at the centre of the chrome decorative plate which is also illuminated, and a closed grille. For the side, the door handles of an outward-flip design and the charging port is located on the right rear fender. The rear fascia features a single taillight bar adopting the series’ Chinese knot design, the black trim surround used for the taillights echoes the front surround trim piece for the headlights, and the blue God’s Eye badge states it is equipped with the God’s Eye C (DiPilot 100) intelligent driving assistance system.[3][5]
The interior of the Qin L EV has a four-spoke flat-bottom design steering wheel, full LCD driver's instrument panel, rotatable central touchscreen that is equipped with the advanced version of the DiLink 100 smart cockpit system, and an electronic gear shifter used for the automatic transmission is mounted behind the steering wheel. The centre tunnel features a refrigerator storage box which also has a heating function, two cup holders, two wireless phone charging pads, and a number of physical buttons. There is a 65 L (2.3 cu ft) frunk storage.[6][3]
For safety, the Qin L EV features God’s Eye C (DiPilot 100) intelligent driving assistance system which supports the Navigation On Autopilot (NOA) function on highways.[3]
