On September 22, 2025, BYD officially announced that the launch event for the second-generation Qin PLUS will be held on September 25 at 19:00, themed "Tribute to 2.4 Million Qin Owners." The new model will offer both a DM-i hybrid and a pure electric EV version, continuing the affordable pricing strategy starting from 79,800 RMB. This launch is seen as a key move by BYD to solidify its leadership in the A-segment sedan market.
DM-i Hybrid: Equipped with the fifth-generation DM technology, the fuel consumption under NEDC conditions is as low as 2.93L/100km, with a combined range of up to 2055km. Supports 5C super-fast charging (30%-80% in just 10 minutes).
Pure Electric EV: Based on the e-platform 3.0, it offers a CLTC range of 510km and features a wide-temperature heat pump system, reducing range loss in cold weather by 20%.
Except for the entry-level model, all other versions come standard with "DiPilot 100" (C-Advanced Intelligent Driving System), using a 5R12V hardware solution (5 millimeter-wave radars + 12 ultrasonic radars) to enable high-speed navigation, all-scenario automatic parking, and other advanced functions. It becomes the first car in the 90,000 RMB price segment to support automatic on/off-ramp driving.
Exterior: Updated with the Dragon Face 3.0 design language, new Ice Jade Green/Twilight Gray color options, and a reduced drag coefficient of 0.3Cd.
Interior: Features a 12.8-inch rotating central touchscreen, BYD Heart electronic gear shifter, and DiLink 100 system with 5G connectivity and 3D vehicle control.
