This white pretty is the new BYD Qin, a sporty plug-in hybrid sedan. It will debut in April on the Beijing Auto Show and launch on the Chinese car market soon thereafter.

The new Qin gets a sportier look with a sedan-coupe profile. Very  sleek and a great step forwards compared to the current car. The step however will be even bigger for the interior. 


It seems that BYD combined two cars in the patent drawings. Note the fuel door above the rear wheel.

There is another fuel door, a round one here, above the left-rear wheel. It is also possible BYD is working on a hybrid version, but most of their current hybrids plug-in via the nose. More on the fuel door situation as we get it.
