BYD Qin PLUS Driving Experience
BYD Qin PLUS driving notes below use published English copy for comfort, performance and daily use.
Driving & performance
How the car puts power down and feels on the road.
- The instantaneous torque of the electric motor makes the start smooth and light
- The acceleration ability in the high-speed rear segment weakens, and the noise is slightly louder when the engine intervenes
- Quick and light start, responsive power at low speeds, effortless city overtaking; ample power for daily driving, and no difficulty climbing hills with a full load.
- High-speed reacceleration (above 100km/h) feels slightly sluggish.
Cabin comfort
How the cabin is described for passengers on everyday roads.
- The chassis tuning is biased towards comfort, filtering small bumps on the road well, but the rear suspension feels a bit stiff during large bumps; the front head and leg room are ample, suitable for most body types of drivers.
- The daily driving comfort is high, suitable for household use
- The rear suspension is not independent, resulting in a stronger rear-end jolt than the front
- The chassis tuning is soft, filtering minor bumps well, but the rear suspension bounces noticeably during large bumps; the front headroom is ample, with a wide range of seat adjustments, providing a comfortable driving posture.
Space & practicality
How the car is described for daily errands and family use.
- The pure electric range covers most people's daily commuting needs
- The pure electric range is significantly reduced during winter or high-speed driving.
- Electricity is sufficient for daily commuting, and fuel consumption is low for long-distance travel; fast charging is decent, slow charging is convenient, and external discharge function is practical.

Smart tech & daily use
How the published notes describe software and driver assistance.

- The car's memory is only 4GB and storage is 16GB, which may slow down after prolonged use
