BYD Qin includes two variants called the BYD Qin Pro and BYD Qin Plus. The BYD Qin Pro was launched in September 2018, while the BYD Qin Plus was launched in 2021. An updated version of the first generation, known as the "all-new Qin", is sold alongside the second
generation Qin variants.
The BYD Qin concept car was unveiled at the 2012 Beijing International Automotive Exhibition. It was named after the Qin dynasty, China's first imperial dynasty.
The Qin was designed with BYD's next-generation, more efficient, dual-mode, electric powertrain. The BYD Qin uses a smaller lithium iron phosphate battery (LiFePO4, or LFP) than its predecessor, the F3DM: 13 kWh instead of 16 kWh. The LiFePO4 battery has a high energy density, can withstand up to 4,000 charges and still retain 80 percent performance, and uses no toxic heavy metals in its manufacture. Due to its improved design, the new battery is about 50 percent smaller and lighter than the one used on the F3DM. The reduced battery pack size translates into reduced price at the expense of the all-electric range, which BYD estimates at 50 kilometres (31 mi). The larger battery in the F3DM delivers an all-electric range of 97 kilometres (60 mi). BYD said the Qin would be seven percent more efficient with savings in power and energy in all-electric (EV) mode.
In hybrid mode, the Qin uses two 110-kilowatt (148 hp; 150 PS) electric motors and a 1.5-litre turbo-charged direct-injected engine, instead of the 1.0-litre 3-cylinder engine used in the F3DM, to output 223 kW (299 hp; 303 PS) of power and 440 N⋅m (325 lb⋅ft; 45 kg⋅m) of torque. According to BYD Auto, the Qin has a top speed of 185 km/h (115 mph) and can accelerate from 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) in less than 5.9 seconds. Thanks to its smaller battery and increased wheelbase, the Qin will have more interior space than the F3DM, and the styling has also been improved over BYD's earlier models, most notably in the car's interior. The Qin features two large TFT LCD displays on the dashboard, equipped with the BYD "i" intelligent cloud system platform incorporating features like telematics, cloud-computing and a full range of services 24 hours a day.
For 2021, BYD launched another variant of the Qin called the Qin Plus, based on the same platform as the Qin Pro. The BYD Qin Plus was unveiled during the 2020 Guangzhou Auto Show on November 20, 2020; compared to the Qin Pro, it features restyled front and rear ends, while dimensions are exactly the same as in the Qin Pro. It is available as an all-electric car and as a plug-in hybrid.
Initially, the BYD Qin Plus was only available with a plug-in hybrid powertrain. It is BYD's latest hybrid system called the DM-i. The Qin Plus was one of the first BYD products with the DM-i system to be introduced to the market, alongside the Tang DM-i and Song Plus DM-i crossovers; the market launch event was in January 2021.
The DM-i powertrain of the Qin Plus combines a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated engine with a single electric motor for a total output of about 170 horsepower (127 kW; 172 PS). The engine's thermal efficiency ratio is claimed to be at the industry-leading 43% as of 2021. Fuel consumption of the Qin Plus does not exceed 3.8 litres per 100 kilometres (74 mpg‑imp; 62 mpg‑US). The Qin Plus sprints from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in under four seconds and has over 1,000 kilometres (620 mi) of combined range. Its "blade battery" provides an electric range of 50–120 km. The car is equipped with an E-CVT transmission.
The car's drivetrain was named "cloud-plug-in hybrid" (Xiaoyun-Plug-in hybrid) by the manufacturer.
The 1.5-litre naturally aspirated engine of the Qin Plus DM-i uses the Atkinson cycle and features cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), a split cooling system (the engine cooling circuit is split into two parts, one for the cylinder head and one for the block) and an electric water pump. The engine develops a maximum power output of 81 k
The top version features a 71.7 kWh (258 MJ) battery with 600 km range .Versions with batteries 47.5 and 57 kWh (171 and 205 MJ) are also available, with ranges of 400 and 500 kilometres (250 and 310 mi) respectively.
