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.
