What car has the character 'Qin' on it?
2 Answers
The car with the 'Qin' character in its logo is BYD. Here is more information about it: 1. Launch Date: In December 2013, BYD introduced its first plug-in hybrid electric vehicle named after a Chinese historical dynasty—'Qin'. The primary significance of 'Qin' is to embody Chinese elements, and there are also BYD Song and BYD Tang. 2. Power Mode: The 'Qin' model was the earliest plug-in hybrid dual-mode electric vehicle (pure electric mode + hybrid mode, freely switchable) launched in the market at that time. It features a unique dual-engine dual-mode powertrain, with a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of just 5.9 seconds.
As a history enthusiast, I looked into this and found that BYD's hybrid and pure electric vehicles carry the 'Qin' name. BYD uses the Qin Dynasty to symbolize strength and innovation. The Qin series includes DM-i and EV versions. Last year, I test-drove the DM-i model—its acceleration is incredibly fast, going from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.9 seconds, making it easy to overtake from a standstill at traffic lights. In terms of fuel efficiency, it’s extremely economical, with zero emissions in pure electric mode in the city and only about 4L of fuel in hybrid mode. The interior features a massive touchscreen with remote climate control, which is very practical. The battery comes with an 8-year warranty, and the price is around 200,000 RMB, making it suitable for budget-conscious buyers who want to try new energy vehicles. BYD has developed its hybrid system in-house, ensuring smooth and quiet operation with minimal noise. Maintenance is affordable, and parts are easy to find, with BYD’s 4S stores widespread across China. Its reliability ranks high among user reviews, making it a worthy choice for potential buyers.
