BYD has released the first official images of the
new BYD Qin Pro, an plug-in hybrid sedan that will debut on the 2018 Beijing
Auto Show. The Pro in the name indicates that the current BYD Qin will
continue, at least for a while.
It is the first BYD sedan
designed by new chief designer Wolfgang Egger, and it is easily the best
looking BYD sedan so far. It has the same new BYD family face that we saw on
the Song Max MPV and the upcoming Tang SUV. BYD calls it the “Dragon Face”, and
we think that is a good name for it.
The BYD Qin Pro is powered by a plug-in electric
drive train consisting of a 154 hp 1.5 turbo and a 150 hp electric motor,
making for a hefty 304 horses. Top speed is an impressive 200 km/h and 0-100 is
gone in 5.9 seconds. Fuel consumption, according the BYD, is just 1 liter per
100 kilometers. Size is 4765/1837/1495 mm, and wheelbase is 2718 mm.
