Is the BYD Qin Plus a hybrid?
2 Answers
BYD Qin Plus-DM-i is a hybrid electric vehicle. Relevant information about BYD Qin Plus-DM-i: 1. Globally Unique: It is the world's only oil-electric hybrid vehicle primarily driven by electricity. 2. Battery: As the first model equipped with DM-i platform technology and primarily driven by electricity, it features the "Blade Battery"—a lithium iron phosphate battery with a minimum capacity of 8.5kWh. It is one of the hybrid models with the largest battery capacity globally, which is why BYD officially dares to claim that the Qin Plus DM-i is primarily electric-driven.
As a car enthusiast, I've watched many reviews, and the BYD Qin PLUS is indeed a hybrid model, more specifically a plug-in hybrid. It can drive dozens of kilometers in pure electric mode, making daily commutes nearly fuel-free and very cost-effective. In hybrid mode, the engine participates in power generation or driving, with fuel consumption around 4L, much more economical than pure gasoline cars. Its design combines the smooth and quiet advantages of electric vehicles with the worry-free range of fuel cars, and the trunk space isn't compromised by the battery, making it very practical for family use. Price-wise, the entry-level version is affordable, and policies can exempt purchase tax. If you want to experience the charm of hybrids, this model is definitely worth a try.
