Attention, friends who are looking for an affordable family sedan! BYD has launched a new car, a mid-sized pure electric sedan - the BYD Qin L EV, and its price is likely to bring pleasant surprises.
The BYD Qin L EV and the Qin L DM-i have the same name but are different models. The Qin L EV is born on the e3.0 EVO platform. Most importantly, this car has finally adopted a rear-mounted rear-wheel drive layout, which is more suitable for pure electric vehicles. When accelerating rapidly, it should not have the problem of tire scuffing like a front-wheel drive car. Moreover, the rear-wheel drive layout makes the energy-absorbing space in the front cabin larger. The e3.0 EVO platform uses the internal skeleton CTB (Cell to Body) structure, which improves the overall safety of the vehicle. In addition, the Qin L EV is equipped with a suspension structure of a double-ball-joint MacPherson strut at the front and a five-link suspension at the rear, which is also a significant upgrade in the form of the suspension.
The appearance of the Qin L EV looks like a slightly smaller version of the BYD Han EV. It has an obvious fastback design at the rear, but the rear row is raised as a whole. When viewed from the side, the position of the passenger cabin is significantly larger, so the interior space is also one of its major advantages. When you open the front engine compartment, there is a space where a 20-inch carry-on suitcase can be placed, and the rear luggage compartment also has a large depth, showing very practical space performance. The rear row of the car is very comfortable, without the feeling of a small folding stool at all. The cushion has good support, and the sitting posture is also nice. There is also a large margin in both the headroom and legroom.
The configuration in the cockpit is quite comprehensive, including a W-HUD (Windshield Head-Up Display), a large 15.6-inch in-vehicle infotainment screen, etc. There is an additional intelligent driving paddle behind the steering wheel. It adopts the three-camera solution of the Tian Shen Zhi Yan C (Heavenly Eye C), which has the ability of assisted driving on highways and expressways, and can support functions such as automatic parking and valet parking outside the vehicle. It is worth noting that there is also a cooling and heating box at the position of the front armrest box, which can hold four bottles of water.
According to the information declared to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China previously, the BYD Qin L EV has two battery versions. One is a 46.08kWh battery that supports a CLTC (China Light-Duty Vehicle Test Cycle) driving range of 470 kilometers; the 56.64kWh version supports a CLTC driving range of 545 kilometers. The power battery does not use the so-called second-generation Blade Battery as rumored online, but still uses the Blade Battery used in previous models. The high-voltage platform is also 400V. In terms of power, there are two motor versions, 110kW and 160kW respectively. The 0-100km/h acceleration time of the 160kW version is 7.5 seconds.
BYD focuses on the concept of technological equality, allowing more people to enjoy more advanced configurations at a relatively low price. Functions such as the Tian Shen Zhi Yan intelligent driving system, the DiLink intelligent cabin, the cooling and heating box, the HUD (Head-Up Display), and the seat heating and ventilation functions are all provided within the price range of less than $20,000. This car will be officially launched in the first half of this year. So, what price do you think the Qin L EV should be set at to make you exclaim in surprise?
