The exterior design of the Qin L DM-i adopts BYD's latest "New National Trend Dragon Face Aesthetics" concept, integrating the momentum of a soaring dragon into the body design and presenting a majestic and dynamic image. Its front face design is highly recognizable, with the large front grille dotted with dot-matrix elements inside, perfectly integrated with the slender front headlight assembly to form an integrated "Dragon Face" styling. The front headlight assembly uses LED light sources inside, and when lit, the effect is sharp, enhancing the vehicle's sense of technology. At the same time, the upward-sweeping illuminated "dragon whiskers" echo the chrome decoration on the front grille, further enhancing the front face's three-dimensionality and visual effect.
The side lines of the Qin L DM-i body are smooth and elongated, with the waistline extending from the front fender all the way to the rear door, creating a full-length visual effect. The concave muscle line design highlights the vehicle's sense of power, while the fastback design and low-slung stance add a youthful and sporty flavor. In addition, the addition of 18-inch dual five-spoke sport wheels further enhances the vehicle's dynamism and sporty performance.
The rear's broad and thick shoulder surround and the through-type taillight design are inspired by the Chinese knot, which not only provides high recognizability but also gives the vehicle a unique cultural charm. The interior of the taillights also uses LED light sources, and when lit, the effect is outstanding, enhancing the vehicle's sense of fashion and technology.
The interior design of the Qin L DM-i is inspired by Chinese painting, creating an elegant "landscape painting realm cabin." The center console adopts an integrated design, unfolding slowly with the rotating large screen as the center, like an Eastern scroll floating on the jade-colored instrument panel, which not only enhances the interior's sense of quality but also creates a strong wraparound feel. The embedded 8.8-inch large-size LCD instrument panel and the 15.6-inch rotatable central control screen further enhance the interior's sense of technology. The adaptive rotating floating Pad supports intelligent cloud services, a 3D panoramic transparent image system, mobile phone NFC car key, and full-scenario intelligent voice functions. Higher-trim models are also equipped with the DiPilot intelligent driving assistance system, including adaptive cruise, intelligent navigation, lane departure suppression, intelligent speed limit warning, and blind spot monitoring, helping drivers easily handle complex road conditions and reducing the risk of fatigued driving. The addition of these intelligent configurations allows drivers to enjoy the convenience brought by technology while also experiencing a more intelligent driving experience.
In addition to intelligent configurations, the Qin L DM-i is also equipped with multiple comfort features. Such as a leather-wrapped three-spoke multi-function steering wheel, wireless phone charging, 31-color brilliant ambient lighting, and more. The addition of these configurations allows drivers to enjoy driving pleasure while also experiencing a more comfortable and cozy driving environment.
The seats of the Qin L DM-i adopt an ergonomic design, with an overall structure that better fits the head, neck, and waist, maximizing support for pressure in all areas. The seat material, covered with a large area of flexible foam, allows drivers to maintain comfort even during long drives. At the same time, the two-tone quilted seat design and exquisite quilting craftsmanship enhance the overall cabin's sense of quality. The top-trim model's seats are equipped with heating, ventilation, and driver memory functions, improving comfort for daily use. The body dimensions of the Qin L DM-i are 4,830 mm long, 1,900 mm wide, and 1,495 mm high, with a wheelbase reaching 2,790 mm, ensuring spacious and comfortable interior space. An experiencer 180 cm tall can still have nearly 2 fists of legroom in the rear row after sitting inside, and nearly 1 fist of headroom remaining.
In terms of power, the powertrain of the Qin L DM-i consists of a 1.5L engine and an electric motor, equipped with BYD's fifth-generation DM hybrid technology. The 1.5L plug-in hybrid dedicated engine of the Qin L DM-i adopts multiple advanced technologies, such as a high compression ratio design, intelligent combustion system, pre-catalyst gas extraction EGR, and an intelligent variable lubrication system. The addition of these technologies enables the engine to achieve a maximum thermal efficiency of 46.06%, greatly improving fuel economy and power output efficiency. The Qin L DM-i is equipped with an electric motor and EHS electric hybrid system, offering two power options of 120 kW and 160 kW. The addition of the electric motor not only improves the vehicle's power performance but also reduces fuel consumption. The EHS electric hybrid system achieves a combined operating efficiency of 92%, and power density is increased to 75.47 kW/L, further enhancing the vehicle's energy efficiency performance. Under NEDC conditions, the Qin L DM-i's fuel consumption per 100 km with depleted battery is only 2.9L.
In terms of range, the Qin L DM-i is equipped with lithium iron phosphate batteries in two capacities, 10.08 kWh and 15.87 kWh, with an energy density as high as 115 wh/kg. The high discharge rate and feedback rate ensure efficient battery use and long service life. At the same time, the battery also has a fast charging function, shortening charging time. Depending on the battery capacity, the Qin L DM-i offers pure electric range of 80 km and 120 km respectively (CLTC), and the comprehensive range can reach more than 2,100 kilometers.
