The “internal volume” of China’s local auto market even the American brands are confused, and they do not even understand what is good for local brands to disrupt the existing market rules. However, in BYD’s view, this seems to be only “routine operation”, so we have seen the new Song PLUS DM-i and Song L DM-i that “cost performance is still a small advantage compared to the same level of joint venture SUV.”
However, is there a possibility that the budget will drop some more, Qin LDM (picture | configuration | inquiry)-i is also suitable for home use. Today we want to introduce you is Qin L DM-i, it is this year’s more representative domestic new energy models, the official price of 9.98-139,800 yuan, positioning plug-in hybrid medium-sized cars. Let’s take a look at the performance of this car, is it suitable for home transportation?
In terms of appearance, Qin LDM-i shows obvious family characteristics in the design style. The front face continues the grille design with narrow top and wide bottom, which caters to the aesthetic trend and adds a bit of chrome-plated decoration to make the whole front face look rich in layers and exquisite sense. The shape of the LED headlights is slim and narrow, which echoes the LOGO of BYD’s family model, and the front pressure of the head further strengthens the identification. From the side, the car and the sale of Han DM-i has a high similarity, double waist line design sharp stretch, with rising window line design, sharpening the sense of movement of the vehicle. The design of the rear of the car is the same as the conventional idea, and the penetrant LED taillight adopts an embedded design, and the tail box cover raises a small Angle to enrich the three-dimensional sense of the rear of the car. In terms of size, the vehicle length, width and height correspond to 4830x1900x1495mm, and the wheelbase is 2790mm.
In the interior part, Qin LDM-i adopts a new design style of the family, the materials used for work are not particularly prominent, basically there are soft fabrics in the place that is easy to contact with the body, and the center console is covered with a transverse decorative board, and the visual effect is quite suitable for the current aesthetic environment. However, if you look closely, you will find that there are many areas in the interior feel stiff, taking into account the price, in fact, can also accept. The border of the 10.1-inch center control screen is relatively obvious to the 12.8-inch screen with the medium and high, but the car features are not absent, the operation is smooth and good, and the car provides a wealth of third-party software download and installation, with high playability.
As for the configuration, the entry-level model has a rich basic configuration to use, Includes front airbag, front side airbag, side safety air curtain, rear parking radar, cruise control, automatic parking, active closed air intake grille, 8.8-inch LCD combination instrument, electronic stop handle, NFC/RFID key, front keyless entry, built-in dashcam, fake leather seat, 4/6 scale seat reclining, 10.1 inch center control screen, GP S navigation, 4G car networking, OTA upgrade, voice recognition control, app store, 6-speaker audio, LED headlights, external rearview mirror heating, automatic air conditioning, rear air outlet and other configurations. The drawback is that the rim size is a little smaller, only 16 inches, if you care about the appearance level, it is still recommended to raise the budget.
Finally, let’s talk about the power, BYD Qin L DM-i full series is equipped with the fifth generation DM-i hybrid technology, providing two endurance versions (CLTC working conditions), one is 80km version, the other is 120km version. The power performance is related to the pure electric endurance, the 80km version is equipped with the front motor with the maximum power of 163 horsepower, and the official 0-100km/h acceleration time is 7 seconds 9; The 120km version is equipped with a front motor with a maximum power of 218 horsepower, and the official 0-100km/h acceleration time is 7 seconds 5. In terms of power performance, there is not much problem in dealing with short-distance or medium-distance travel in the city, under the condition of healthy power state, deeply step on the accelerator, the motor and the engine output power in parallel, and occasionally bring some stimulating feeling of pushing back. In addition, because the rear suspension uses a four-link independent suspension design, it will be found that the suppression of the vehicle on the roll has been strengthened, and the comfort of walking on the unpaved road is also good, in line with the expectations of this price.
At the same time, the fifth-generation DM-i technology optimizes energy consumption by balancing the energy output ratio of the 1.5L hybrid engine and the motor. Official data show that the 80km version of WLTC feeds a fuel consumption of 3.8L/100km under comprehensive working conditions, plus 65 liters of fuel tank volume, under the conditions of full fuel and full charge. Some media tests have a comprehensive endurance of more than 2000km, if the daily commute is used, even if it is not charged, it can reduce the cost of the car through better fuel economy, but it should be noted that the 80km version only provides slow charging, and the usual charging efficiency is not high. In addition, the feed fuel consumption of the 120km version under WLTC conditions is 3.98L/100km, which is also a considerable economic performance. If you don’t care about adding some budget, adding a fast charge 120km version may be a better choice.
Write at the end
Now when it comes to BYD cars, many people have the impression that they are “intermixed spokespeople”, and in fact, this is true. With the blessing of the fifth generation DM-i hybrid technology, Qin L DM-i this car will pull the comprehensive life to the level of more than 2000km, changing the traditional cognitive thinking, and whether it is the appearance level or materials, or three electric and intelligent software, this car in the same level, the same price model is also very able to play, combined with its price point of view, The prospect is worth a little waiting. Another data show that in July Qin LDM-i sold 32,466 units, has exceeded the Volkswagen Passat, Toyota Camry and other old strong.
