2 Answers
The curb weight of the BYD Qin Plus-DMI is approximately 1.6 tons. The curb weight, traditionally referred to as the 'empty car weight,' is the weight of the vehicle when fully equipped according to the manufacturer's specifications (including items like the spare tire and tools) and with all fluids filled. It is an important design parameter for the vehicle. More details are as follows: 1. The BYD Qin Plus-DMI is a compact car launched by BYD, with dimensions of 4765mm in length, 1837mm in width, and 1495mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2718mm. 2. It is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum power of 81kw, and is paired with a CVT continuously variable transmission.
I've been driving the BYD Qin Plus-DMI for a while now, and it weighs around 1,580 kg. It feels quite stable to drive, especially on the highway where the car doesn't feel floaty, which is thanks to its weight. The battery pack adds a bit of burden, but the hybrid system keeps the overall fuel consumption low. My daily commute averages 4-5 liters of fuel, saving me quite a bit of money. The slightly heavier weight has a minor impact on acceleration from a standstill, but it's still sufficient. On weekends, taking the family out is comfortable with its spacious and safe interior. During maintenance, it's important to pay attention to tire wear, as regular checks can extend their lifespan. Overall, it's a practical and economical car suitable for family use.
