What is the fuel consumption of the BYD Qin Plus?
3 Answers
The official claimed fuel consumption under battery depletion is 3.8L. The exterior features an eight-sided dragon roar front face design, with an oversized grille creating a majestic aura that commands attention, delivering impressive visual tension and impact. Engine performance degradation: When the vehicle's engine performance noticeably declines, it is often accompanied by increased fuel consumption. This is likely caused by prolonged failure to replace engine oil, oil filters, air filters, and fuel filters, leading to incomplete fuel combustion and increased engine carbon deposits. Excessive carbon buildup will raise fuel consumption. Extended idling: Leaving the vehicle running without turning off the engine for extended periods consumes significant fuel, especially when idling with air conditioning on during summer while waiting.
I've been driving the BYD Qin PLUS DM-i for over a year and have some insights on its fuel consumption. Officially, the combined fuel consumption is 1.2 liters per 100 kilometers, but this is based on ideal test conditions. In actual use, when fully charged, it can drive dozens of kilometers with zero fuel consumption, which is super economical. If running purely on fuel, such as on long highway trips, the fuel consumption can reach 3-4 liters. On average, my monthly commute of 2,000 kilometers costs less than 300 yuan in electricity and fuel combined. In city traffic jams, it switches to pure electric mode, with fuel consumption almost negligible. Battery health also affects fuel efficiency—new batteries have stronger range, so regular maintenance is recommended. Overall, this car has extremely low fuel consumption, is very economical, and suits experienced drivers like me perfectly.
As someone who drives the Qin PLUS to work every day, the fuel consumption is particularly satisfying. During the crowded morning rush hour, it automatically switches to electric drive, with fuel consumption as low as around 1 liter. The manual states a combined fuel consumption of 1.2 liters per 100 kilometers, but my actual record is around 1.7 liters, costing only 200 yuan per month. When not charging, the fuel consumption is just 3 liters, saving more than half compared to regular cars. I recommend keeping a home charging station handy; driving with zero fuel consumption for short distances saves money and provides peace of mind. In the long run, the savings can buy you several extra cups of coffee, making it practical and worth the investment.
