The Qin L EV, which starts at 119,800 yuan, is indeed completely beyond the expectations of tram access.

Last year, BYD focused its technology on the hybrid field, and successfully opened the hybrid mid-size car market with the Qin L DM-i with a comprehensive range of 2,000km and a fuel consumption of 2.9L per 100km. After many models are equipped with the fifth-generation DM technology, BYD's market position has become more stable.

The launch of Qin L EV shows that BYD is going to further explore the pure electric vehicle market.

When Tram Tong entered the three keywords "within 150,000", "medium-sized cars" and "pure electric" on the automotive platform, there were only seven products that met the requirements, and there were only three competitors, Deep Blue SL03, Alpha S5 and Roewe D7, which were more concerned.

In contrast, the main advantages of Qin L EV are its lower starting price and the standard configuration of the Eye of the God C high-level smart driving. Of course, there are also shortcomings: the fast charging dimension is, the deep blue SL03 is faster; in terms of battery life, the top version of Roewe D7 has a higher pure electric battery life of 610km; at similar prices, users who do not pursue space can completely choose pure electric compact sedans with richer configurations, such as Xiaopeng MONA M03, GAC Aion AION S, etc.

As of press time, the official has not yet released the relevant order data of Qin L EV, but it is a pure electric car with battery life anxiety, so the market popularity of Qin L EV is naturally far less popular than that of Qin L DM-i.

Only practice can you know the answer. Tramway will go to the nearby BYD Dynasty offline store to learn about it and experience the new car again from the perspective of the buyer.

For battery life and comfort, users prefer mid-to-high-end versions

The BYD Dynasty Net store we observed this time may be the smallest in Guangzhou. Due to the exhibition hall area, the Yuan PLUS, which has been on the market for a long time, is only three exhibition cars such as Han and Qin L EV, and large-scale models such as Xia and Tang in Dynasty Network are absent.

However, the traffic in the store is pretty good, and even during working hours, there are still several customers entering the store. The test drive can be dispatched at any time, which can be regarded as making up for the small area of ​​the exhibition hall.

Among the several customers observed by Tram Pass, there are obviously more people who come to see the car together, but it should be pointed out that almost most customers are looking at DM-i models, such as Qin PLUS DM-i, Han DM-i, Song PLUS DM-i, etc. There may be two people who specialize in pure electric vehicles. One is to test drive Qin L EV tram Pass, and the other is to test drive Yuan PLUS's "big brother".

The sales staff did not disclose to the tram Tong how much the proportion of customers between hybrid vehicles and pure electric vehicles, but only said that the number of users who have started to look at pure electric vehicles this year has indeed increased.

Regarding the newly launched Qin L EV, sales staff said that the recent order volume is still expected. The best-selling of the three versions are the mid-fit and high-fit versions. The entry-level version has a relatively small order volume, but it is mainly favored by online ride-hailing drivers.

After seeing the configuration table of Qin L EV, Tram Tong quickly understood that the mid-end version and high-end version will be the first choice for more users: the mid-end version is 10,000 yuan more expensive than the entry-end version, but has higher battery life and stronger performance, which is of great help to improve driving convenience; the high-end version is 20,000 yuan more expensive than the entry-end version, but the newly added configurations such as seat heating/ventilation, car refrigerator, and HUD are indeed worth the difference.

Speaking of Qin L EV's competitors, sales staff revealed that most users value passenger comfort. When they come to the store to see the car, they will specifically compare pure electric sedans such as Xiaopeng MONA M03 and Deep Blue SL03 of the same price. In the end, the users who decided that Qin L EV were mainly recognized by major domestic brands, as well as the comfort gain brought by space and smart driving.

BYD's hybrid technology has been deeply rooted in the people's hearts, and BYD is not the only expert in the pure electric field. Aian, Shenlan, which rely on traditional manufacturer technology, Xiaopeng in the new force camp, etc., have their own understanding in the pure electric family sedan market. From the choices of most customers, it can be seen that they are willing to pay for the endurance and comfort of pure electric vehicles and no longer purely pursue low-cost travel and life.

The upgrade is obvious, Qin L EV is not a pure electric version of Qin L DM-i

There will definitely be no big gap in the overall vehicle styling between Qin L EV and Qin L DM-i, and the most obvious gap in design is naturally the front grille.

Due to the lack of such a large engine cooling requirement, Qin L EV uses a simple closed front face to replace the large-sized lower grille. The whole vehicle presents the "small BYD Han EV" feeling, and the online car-hailing attributes that family users care more about have been weakened.

In addition to the slight adjustments in appearance, the Qin L EV, which does not have an internal combustion engine, also has a 65L front trunk space, which can hold some infrequently used items on the car.

Compared with Qin L DM-i, the center console position of Qin L EV seems to have deliberately narrowed the width of the painted decorative panel, but the home atmosphere has not changed. Since the show car is a high-end version, 12-inch W-HUD head-up display, 15.6-inch floating central control screen, 50W mobile phone fast charging, car refrigerator and other configurations are all provided.

The Qin L DM-i intelligent driving version, which was launched in February, only added the Eye of the Gods C on the basis of the old Qin L DM-i. The car refrigerator and 50W mobile phone wireless fast charging are not equipped. Moreover, the current Qin L DM-i intelligent driving version uses a rear E-type four-link independent suspension, while the Qin L EV uses a rear five-link independent suspension, so the driving texture will be different.

In order to experience the changes in driving texture, Tram Tong specially applied for a short-term vehicle test drive. PS: The test drive car is a mid-equipped version of Qin L EV, and the relevant parameters of the powertrain are consistent with the high-equipped version.

It has to be said that Qin L EV has a strong acceleration ability. The 0-50km/h of 3.1s does bring a very direct feeling of pushing back. The official uses 0-50km/h acceleration time to replace the 0-100km/h acceleration time, which may imply that the power output of Qin L EV under the mid-to-high-speed section is a bit slow, but this is just a guess. It will take a long time to verify it after the tram is opened. As for this distance during the test drive in the city, the performance output capability of Qin L EV at medium and low speeds is completely free.

To summarize the riding experience of the rear seat, there is still about two fists in the leg space, the two rear charging ports and the central armrest with cup holders can also meet basic travel needs, but the rear seats are not adjusted backrest. Considering that this is just a mid-size car with less than 150,000 yuan, this configuration is completely acceptable.

What is worth mentioning is the vibration filtering capability of the chassis. When Qin L EV passes through the undulating sections, speed bumps and concave manhole covers, the impact on the rear row is not large, especially when passing through the obvious bulge of the bridge deck and the road surface, the chassis does not have a cheap feeling of continuous bounce, which surprises the tram.

Both Qin L EV and Qin L DM-i belong to the Qin L car series. The new Qin L DM-i will be similar to the newly launched Qin L EV in terms of configuration. The car refrigerator and five-link rear suspension must be arranged, but as of the current situation, the Qin L DM-i intelligent driving version has just been launched, and the latest technology is still exclusive to Qin L EV. The Qin L DM-i equipped with the latest configuration may need to wait.

Of course, if you are not interested in these new configurations, you can actually directly consider the non-intelligent driving version of Qin L DM-i, or a little bit of a new Qin L DM-i. Before this, the current smart driving version may be priced and cleared.

Betting on driving comfort, Qin L EV wins the world with "soft configuration"?

After experiencing Qin L EV, Tram Tong has a deeper understanding of this mid-sized pure electric car. I thought that the main difference between Qin L EV and Qin L DM-i is just the powertrain, but in fact, with the improvement of brand capital control capabilities, even if it belongs to the same car series, the overall strength of latecomers will be much stronger than the former.

Last year, BYD relied on Qin L DM-i to become famous in the hybrid family car market. This year, it will naturally hope that Qin L can further explore the pure electric car market.

However, unlike Qin L DM-i's far-reaching leadership in energy conservation, Qin L EV has no absolute dominance in the two areas where users pay more attention to, so the official choice starts with experience and uses a number of driving comfort "soft configurations" such as car refrigerators, seat ventilation/heating, large-size screens, and high-end intelligent driving to meet the audience's preferences.

Now the domestic auto market has volume-based models such as Xiaopeng MONA M03, GAC Aion AION S, and Deep Blue SL03. Whether Qin L EV can successfully surpass these models may not be known until the full month of sales in April.
