BYD Qin Plus (3rd generation, China)

BYD launched the third-generation Qin Plus DM-i plug-in hybrid sedan in China on Oct 27 from 79,900 yuan, with up to 220 km of electric range.

Three DM-i versions went on sale Oct 27: 140 km Leading (79,900 yuan), 220 km Beyond/Superior (90,900 yuan) and 220 km Excellence (100,900 yuan), each 3,000 yuan cheaper for a limited time, so the effective start is 76,900 yuan. It keeps BYD's fifth-generation DM hybrid system, raises CLTC electric range to 220 km (210 km before), claims up to 2,290 km of combined range and offers God's Eye B driver assistance with roof LiDAR on some trims. The body grows to 4,840 mm on a 2,800 mm wheelbase. CnEVPost notes Qin family sales were down about 55% year on year in the first nine months. Filings also list a pure-EV version, which has not launched yet.
