The BYD Qin L EV, as the name suggests, is the all-electric version of the Qin L DM-i, similar to the relationship between the Qin Plus EV and Qin Plus DM-i models.

Photos taken by employees at BYD's Pingshan factory in Shenzhen reveal that the Qin L EV, the pure electric variant exposed this time, will still inherit the exterior, interior, and dimensions of the Qin L, with almost no changes.

However, the front grille has been replaced by a closed design, and the wheel rims have been updated to a more refined and stylish look, which are the most prominent features.

According to reports, the Qin L EV is expected to be equipped with a single electric motor with a maximum power output of 170 kW, which is equivalent to 232 hp. This is significantly higher than the electric motor power (160 kW) of the Qin L plug-in hybrid version. The additional 10 kW of power, combined with a more powerful battery pack, allows the Qin L EV to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in just 7 seconds, easily outperforming models like the Mercedes-Benz E300L that are priced over 500,000 yuan.

The BYD Qin L EV is equipped with the brand's second-generation Blade Battery technology, which has allowed for a significant reduction in battery volume. The increased energy density has enabled a lower battery pack weight, resulting in improved energy efficiency and extended service life.

These advancements have directly contributed to the Qin L EV's impressive driving range and enhanced space utilization.The EV version of the Qin L is built on BYD's e-Platform 3.0, featuring a rear-mounted motor and CTB (cell-to-body) battery integration technology. This has allowed the vehicle to achieve an optimal 50:50 front-rear weight distribution, with an estimated total weight exceeding 2.2 tons.

Consequently, the Qin L EV is expected to deliver exceptional high-speed stability, even at speeds up to 180 km/h, outperforming models like the Audi A6L.

The BYD Qin L EV will most likely be equipped with a large 76 kWh battery pack, enabling a maximum driving range of over 650 km, making it well-suited for medium-to-long distance travel in smaller cities. Even the base model Qin L EV is expected to have a 48 kWh battery, providing enough range for around 450 km, ideal for daily commuting in major cities.

Given BYD's pricing strategy, the Qin L EV is expected to be priced very competitively. Considering the impressive performance, range, and features, the Qin L EV will likely offer tremendous value for money and surprise consumers with its attractive pricing.

BYD has a track record of delivering high-quality, technologically-advanced electric vehicles at disruptive price points. The Qin L EV is expected to follow this trend, providing customers with an exceptional electric sedan option that balances affordability, capability, and efficiency. Consumers can likely anticipate a very pleasant surprise when the official pricing for the Qin L EV is announced.
