New BYD QinPlus DM-i/EV Intelligent Version Launched on February 10

On February 10, the latest generation of BYD's QinPlus DM-i and EV intelligent versions were officially launched. The updated model comes with three configuration options for the plug-in hybrid version (DM-i) and three for the electric version (EV), priced between 7.98-12.98 yuan.

Exterior Design

The new QinPlus DM-i retains BYD's traditional Dragon-inspired design language, while incorporating modern and stylish elements. The most notable change is the addition of a sleek dragon-scale-inspired grid pattern on the front grille. Two large air intakes adorn the side panels, adding to the car's sturdy appearance.

Interior Design

Inside, the new QinPlus DM-i adheres to BYD's newly developed interior design concept, which emphasizes symmetry and elegance through their clean and aerated layout. The dashboard is centered, with sleek lines that give the impression of sophistication. In terms of color palette, the inside will come in five varieties: morning glory, pearl blue, time gray, and snow white.

Technology and Features

The QinPlus DM-i boasts an array of innovative features, including a 12.8-inch DiLink 100 smart cockpit with support for dynamic wallpaper and map mode on two screens. The vehicle features advanced intelligent voice commands and supports millions of app downloads. To access the full range of functions, users will need to download the BYD App.

Performance

The QinPlus DM-i boasts a newly designed plug-in hybrid powertrain powered by 1.5L Eco-friendly Engine and EHS hybrid system. The unique selling point here is that this model reduces fuel consumption to a symbolic number of letters, exceeding that of its predecessor with an astonishing mileage record over 2,000 kilometers.

Intelligent Guidance System

A cutting-edge intelligent driving assistance system called "DiPilot 100" has been adopted in the vehicle, which includes:

• Five high-definition millimeter wave radar stations
• Twelve ultrasonic wave radar stations
• Twelve 800-million-pixel HD cameras (including a three-point-wide-angle shot)

Overall, this comprehensive array of perception systems provides comprehensive support for advanced safety, autonomous driving functions and other advanced safety features. When enabled on highways with designated navigation paths, "high-speed intelligent navigation" can help drivers execute optimal handling maneuvers, such as lane discipline.

This cutting-edge driving assistance system extends all the way to automatic turn-by-turn control in highways, assisting a driver's safe passage while driving automatically around rapid or fast bends. New features that will also be offered on this model include keyless steering and automatic car doors.
