Qin L DM-i makes debut at Auto China 2024, set to hit market in Q2 2024

Shanghai (Gasgoo)- On April 25th, BYD Dynasty range's newest mid-size sedan, the Qin L DM-i, made its global debut at the Auto China 2024 in Beijing. This model is slated to hit the market in the second quarter of this year with an estimated starting price of 120,000 yuan.

The Qin L measures 4,830 mm in length, 1,900 mm in width, and 1,495 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,790 mm, positioning it squarely within the mid-size sedan category. It is set to complement the Qin PLUS, establishing a dual-car lineup that targets the A+ market segment and enhancing BYD's Dynasty series' presence in the mainstream sedan market.

As BYD Dynasty's latest mid-size sedan, the Qin L's design philosophy integrates a dragon's dynamism into the vehicle's contours, evolving to embody the grandeur of the Qin Dynasty. The front of the Qin L features a bold "Dragon Chant" face, while its sides are sleek and elegant. The rear is designed with an ultra-wide shoulder, giving the car a broad and low stance.

The interior of the Qin L draws inspiration from traditional Chinese paintings, creating an elegant "landscape-painting cockpit." The integrated central console features a centerpiece revolving large screen that unfolds like an Eastern scroll across a jade-like dashboard, offering a strong wraparound sense. This setup is complemented by luxurious space, ergonomically designed plush "cloud feel" seats, and a suspension system comprising a front MacPherson and rear multi-link independent setup, ensuring a ride that is both comfortable and stable, transforming driving into a pleasurable experience.

While specific technical specifications were not disclosed at the auto show, there have been anticipations of significant advancements in fuel efficiency and range. The carmaker hinted that the Qin L would overturn the mid-size sedan market's stereotype of being fuel-inefficient, with new technologies pushing boundaries to make "large yet economical" the new trend in this vehicle category.

The Qin L is built on BYD's latest-generation platform dedicated to plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, incorporating a multitude of advanced technologies.

Furthermore, the Qin L features the DiLink intelligent cockpit system, which includes a 15.6-inch adaptive rotating floating pad, onboard ETC, an NFC digital key, and all-encompassing smart voice controls. The DiPilot intelligent driving assistance system enhances safety with features like adaptive cruise control, intelligent navigation, emergency lane-keeping assist, and blind-spot monitoring.
