Launch

The BYD Qin is the successor model for the BYD F3DM , which had no market success in China and whose production has now been discontinued. A market launch initially planned for mid-2013 was postponed by the company until December until the Chinese government published the announced tax reductions and further subsidies for environmentally friendly vehicles.

BYD was able to sell 6,000 Qin in the first weeks of 2014 . Around 18,700 vehicles had been marketed by February 2015 .; the stated goal is to sell 2000 vehicles per month.

In contrast to other manufacturers who tend to emphasize environmentally and climate-friendly aspects when advertising hybrid vehicles, BYD also uses comparative advertising for marketing . The speed and the acceleration possible due to the motor combination are highlighted. The vehicle is also marketed in Latin America.

State subsidy

Large Chinese cities are polluted with considerable air pollution , which is caused to a considerable extent by the growing motorization. The government has therefore launched extensive modernization campaigns with the aim of increasingly replacing vehicles that are predominantly powered by conventional combustion engines with more environmentally friendly automobiles. The central government granted a hybrid vehicle of the type when buying BYD Qin (selling price: 189,800  RMB , 24,000 euros ) a government bonus of around 35,000  RMB (about 4,600 euros). In addition, several provinces grant further subsidies.

Technical specifications

The Qin has an electric motor (110  kW ) and a 1.5 liter turbo - petrol engine (113 kW / 154  hp ), which together form a acceleration enable of 5.9 seconds from 0 km per 100 / h. The manufacturer advertises that this is currently the fastest series hybrid vehicle on the market, but this has not been proven.

The LiFePo4 batteries are an in-house development of the parent company BYD , one of the world's largest manufacturers of rechargeable batteries. This recyclable high - energy cell (13  kWh ) is considered safe (no thermal runaway ) and environmentally friendly (no heavy metals or toxic electrolytes ).

According to the manufacturer, the stored energy is enough to cover 70 km with the vehicle without charging (and without using the petrol engine at all). The accumulators should last at least 10 years if they are run empty and charged every day.

The electric version is powered by a 160 kW electric motor that accelerates the Qin EV 300 to 100 km / h in 7.9 seconds. BYD specifies the top speed at 150 km / h, the electric range at 350 km.
