The differences between BYD Qin Plus DM-i 55 and 120 are: In terms of the maximum horsepower of the electric motor, the BYD Qin Plus DM-i 55 has a maximum horsepower of 179 hp, while the BYD Qin Plus DM-i 120 has a maximum horsepower of 197 hp. There are no other differences. More details are as follows: 1. Dimensions: The BYD Qin Plus DM-i 55 and 120 both have a length, width, and height of 4765mm, 1837mm, and 1495mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2718mm. They are equipped with an e-CVT continuously variable transmission and feature a 4-door, 5-seat sedan body type. 2. Configuration: They come with features such as a tire pressure monitoring system, front seatbelt reminder, brake force distribution, brake assist, and traction control.
I've been driving the BYD Qin 55 as my family's daily commuter car, and its 55 km pure electric range suits me perfectly. For daily tasks like picking up/dropping off kids at school or running errands in the city, round trips usually don't exceed 40 km. Plugging it in overnight gives me a full charge, and the pure electric mode covers all my daytime driving needs - I hardly ever need to start the engine, saving significant fuel costs. On occasional weekend short trips, the hybrid mode automatically kicks in with impressively low fuel consumption. While the 120 version offers double the range, it comes at a substantially higher price. The larger battery means slightly longer charging times and potentially higher maintenance costs. I find the 55 version offers better value, especially for budget-conscious people like me who still want the benefits of new energy vehicles.
