What is the real fuel consumption of Qin Plus DM-i?

[BlakelyDella]

BYD Qin Plus's actual fuel consumption is 3.8L/100km, which is the fuel consumption when the battery is depleted and has been verified by numerous car owners. The difference between 3.8L/100km and 7.5L/100km is significant because Qin Plus consumes even less fuel when charged. If the daily mileage is within 50km, BYD Qin Plus may not even need to consume fuel, only requiring a few kilowatt-hours of electricity. The following are details about fuel consumption: 1. Fuel consumption: refers to the amount of oil consumed during vehicle transportation or movement. 2. Constant-speed fuel consumption: is the vehicle's fuel consumption per 100 kilometers obtained in constant-speed driving fuel consumption tests specified by national standards for certain types of vehicles.

I've been driving the BYD Qin PLUS DM-i for over half a year now, and the real-world fuel consumption for daily commuting has been quite impressive. I mainly use it for commuting in the city with heavy traffic during rush hours, and under these conditions, the average fuel consumption is around 4.5 liters per 100 kilometers, slightly higher than the official claim but still very economical. If I charge it frequently, the pure electric mode basically uses no fuel at all. Key influencing factors include my driving habits, such as avoiding sudden acceleration, and the fact that fuel consumption increases slightly in colder weather. Overall, the car's comprehensive fuel consumption under hybrid mode can be kept below 5 liters, significantly reducing maintenance costs. A full tank can last for several hundred kilometers, making it ideal for someone like me who faces daily traffic jams. I recommend using the intelligent driving mode more often to automatically adjust settings for better efficiency.

I think the fuel consumption of the Qin PLUS DM-i depends on actual conditions. I've tested it several times on both long and short trips. When driving steadily on the highway, the fuel consumption is about 4.8 liters per 100 kilometers, while in city traffic jams, it may rise to 6 liters, which is still much better than pure fuel-powered cars. The core of its DM-i hybrid technology lies in the efficient coordination between the engine and the electric motor. Even when the battery is depleted, the fuel consumption remains stable within the range of 4-6 liters. There are quite a few influencing factors, such as the intensity of air conditioning usage, load weight, or road gradients, which can slightly adjust the data. I recommend regular maintenance checks on tire pressure, as that can help optimize fuel efficiency. Overall, real-world data is slightly higher than theoretical values, but the cost-performance ratio is outstanding, making it especially suitable for people who frequently take long-distance trips.

What attracts me most about the BYD Qin PLUS DM-i is its low fuel consumption, which saves a lot of money. Actual measured fuel consumption under battery-depleted conditions fluctuates between 4.5-5 liters/100km. Driving in the city usually costs around 300 yuan per month on fuel, which is less than half of what traditional cars spend. This is thanks to its hybrid design, which intelligently switches between fuel and electric power. When fully charged, the battery can power the car for over 100 kilometers in pure electric mode. To maintain low fuel consumption during driving, avoid rapid acceleration and opt for smooth operation. Daily maintenance is simpler, requiring fewer trips to the gas station, and it's also more environmentally friendly.
