The Qin – BYD’s PHEV Pioneer

Launched with a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of ¥185,900 (~$25,640) and a subsidized price of approximately ¥149,900 (~$14,990) after incentives, the Qin was one of China’s first mass-market plug-in hybrid sedans [4†L7-L8][8†L5][10†L2]. The 2017 model year introduced the “Premium” (尊贵型) trim as the sole configuration, offering a comprehensive feature set at an accessible price point.

Powertrain & Performance

At the heart of the Qin lies a sophisticated plug-in hybrid system featuring a 1.5L turbocharged inline-4 engine (BYD476ZQA) producing 113 kW (154 hp) and 240 N·m of torque [8†L19-L21][10†L12], combined with an electric motor delivering 110 kW and 200 N·m of torque [10†L14]. The total system output is an impressive 217 kW (295 hp) with 479 N·m of torque [4†L9][11†L7-L8]. Power is routed through a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT) to the front wheels [10†L18]. This exceptional powertrain delivers 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) in just 5.9 seconds and a top speed of 185 km/h (115 mph) [1†L5-L6][10†L6].

Battery & Electric Range

The Qin is equipped with a 三元锂电池 pack delivering an NEDC-rated pure electric range of 80 km (50 miles) [1†L14-L15][10†L6]. This makes it ideal for daily commuting with zero emissions. Many of these vehicles have received free battery replacements from BYD dealerships, significantly extending their useful life and enhancing value [6†L8].

Fuel Efficiency

The plug-in hybrid system delivers exceptional fuel economy with NEDC combined fuel consumption of just 1.4 L/100km [1†L6][10†L6] – making it one of the most efficient sedans in its class.
