2 Answers
The model equipped with DM-i super hybrid technology has a comprehensive fuel consumption of only 3.8L/100KM when running on battery depletion. Introduction to BYD Qin Plus: 1. Body dimensions: Length, width, and height are 4765mm, 1837mm, and 1495mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2718mm. 2. Powertrain: It is equipped with a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine, which has a maximum power of 81kw, reaching its peak power at 6000 rpm, and a maximum torque of 135 Nm, peaking at 4500 rpm. This engine features multi-point fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. 3. Suspension: The front suspension uses a MacPherson independent suspension, while the rear suspension employs a torsion beam non-independent suspension. The MacPherson suspension is a relatively simple independent suspension structure with only one L-shaped control arm.
I've been driving the Qin PLUS DM-i for over a year now, and the actual fuel consumption has been quite impressive. For daily commuting, I mainly use electric power, which hardly consumes any fuel. When driving on highways, I switch to hybrid mode, with fuel consumption around 3.5 liters per 100 kilometers. There are many influencing factors, such as in city traffic jams where the electric motor intervenes more, reducing fuel consumption to 2-3 liters. On highways, maintaining a steady speed for long periods keeps it stable at around 4 liters. In winter, using the heater slightly increases fuel consumption, but it's still much more economical than traditional fuel-powered cars. Charging habits are crucial; charging once a day maximizes fuel savings. I feel the car's design is truly cost-effective, cutting my monthly fuel expenses by almost half. Maintenance is also simple, just regular checks on the battery and engine. Overall, the more relaxed the driving style, the lower the fuel consumption, making it perfect for commuters like me who prioritize affordability.
