Unveiling the BYD Qin PLUS Honor Edition: A Market Sensation with DM-i Starting at Just 79,800 Yuan – Is It the Ultimate Value Proposition?
The Lunar New Year holiday has just passed, and I believe many people like me have not fully recovered from the joyful and festive atmosphere. If you happen to be an intended buyer of BYD Qin PLUS, then you can continue to immerse yourself in the joy, because BYD Qin PLUS The Honor Edition has been officially launched on February 19. The entry price of the DM-i Honor Edition has dropped directly to 79,800 yuan. Compared with the official guide price of the entry-level model of the DM-i Champion Edition, it has dropped by 20,000 yuan. Are you attractive enough?
Looking specifically at the new cars launched this time, the DM-i version and the EV version each have 5 configuration models to choose from. Among them, the official guide price range of the DM-i Honor version is 79,800-125,800 yuan; the official guide price of the EV Honor version The price range is 109,800-139,800 yuan. It can be seen that the official guide price of the EV Honor Edition also has the same price reduction.
In addition to the significant price reduction and the launch of a number of preferential policies, the Qin PLUS Honor Edition also has some icing on the cake changes. Whether it is the DM-i version or the EV version, they both add a white glazed green appearance to the Champion Edition. Color matching, upgraded intelligent voice for continuous calls, and upgraded intelligent power on and off for the entire series.
Although the appearance design of the Qin PLUS Honor Edition has not changed, and this design has been used for some days, I think it is reasonable not to change it. You must know that its original appearance is better, and its potential customer group What’s more important is practicality and cost-effectiveness, isn’t it? If you really want something fresh, you might as well consider adding a new white-glazed-green color scheme, which looks good and has good texture.
The interior design also remains the same as before. Of course, configuration adjustments are also essential. After comparing with the Qin PLUS Champion Edition, we know that the Qin PLUS Honor Edition has higher configurations and battery life than the Qin PLUS Champion Edition at the same price. To put it bluntly, it is consumption. Investors like to hear about “increased allocations and reduced prices”.
As for power, it is consistent with the Qin PLUS Champion Edition. The DM-i model is equipped with a plug-in hybrid system composed of a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine + electric motor. The maximum power of the engine is 110 horsepower (81kW) and the maximum torque is 135 N· meters; the electric motors are available in two versions, with maximum powers of 132kW and 145kW, and maximum torques of 316 N·m and 325 N·m respectively. In addition, the blade battery it is equipped with also has two capacities, 8.32kWh and 18.32kWh, and the corresponding NEDC pure electric cruising ranges are 55km and 120km respectively.
The EV version is equipped with a maximum power of 136 horsepower (100kW) and a maximum torque of 180 N·m. It is equipped with blade batteries with two capacities of 48kWh and 57.6kWh. The corresponding CLTC pure electric cruising ranges are 420km and 510km respectively. Compared with the Qin PLUS Champion Edition, the CLTC pure electric cruising range is reduced to 610km.
Listing background and competitors
In 2023, when the economy is not optimistic, many car companies have gained a lot. BYD is one of them, and Qin PLUS has played a very key role. It sold a total of more than 390,000 units last year, with average monthly sales. Reaching 33,000 units, it will become the sales champion among compact cars in the Chinese automobile market in 2023.
Before the product update cycle has arrived, how can sales further improve in 2024, which is even less promising? The most direct and effective way is to launch a more affordable version based on the original model. Perhaps this is the reason why the Qin PLUS Honor Edition was launched. As for competitors, they include Wuling Starlight PHEV, Changan Qiyuan A05, Sylphy, Lavida, Galaxy L6, Weilan pro, etc.
Editor’s comments:
In recent years, the competition in China’s new energy vehicle market has been very fierce. Major manufacturers have tried their best to increase the sales of their products. Among them, the most direct and effective way is to continuously launch large discounts to increase their attractiveness. This is also the reason why China’s automobile market is becoming more and more popular. The main reason for getting more and more “volumes” is that now that BYD has launched its first shot in the Year of the Dragon car circle, there will naturally be more and more followers. Just try hard. The more sincerity you have, the more we consumers will like it. Want to buy BYD Qin Plus DM-i from China? Please contact us (WhatsAPP: 8618027135323)
