Recently, the 2025 BYD Qin PLUS launched. The company calls it the second-generation Qin PLUS. All models, except the base version, feature the Tian Shen Eye C-high-level intelligent driving three-eye version. They use the 5R12V scheme and support automatic driving assistance on highways. As BYD’s leading model for promoting advanced intelligent driving, which version of the 2025 BYD Qin PLUS is the best choice? This issue of the “Car Buying Guide” will answer that question.
BYD Qin PLUS 2025 offers six configurations. It includes plug-in hybrid and pure electric versions. The plug-in hybrid models are priced between 79,800 and 103,800 yuan (14250$). The pure electric models range from 109,800 to 129,800 yuan (17820$). The company also provides various purchase benefits, such as smart finance gifts, smart renewal gifts, and smart warranty gifts. 1. Model Description
The 2025 BYD Qin PLUS features a classic “Dragon Face” design. It incorporates more tech elements, creating a youthful and dynamic look. The “Dragon Roar” front showcases the dynasty’s majesty. The “Chinese Knot” taillights highlight the charm of national trends. The plug-in hybrid and electric versions share a similar exterior design. The main difference lies in the front grille.
The 2025 BYD Qin PLUS offers three different wheel designs but has only two tire sizes. The entry-level plug-in hybrid version features 16-inch monochrome steel wheels. The other two models use 16-inch dual five-spoke aluminum alloy wheels. All have the same tire size: 225/60 R16. The pure electric version comes with 17-inch aluminum alloy wheels and has a tire size of 215/55 R17.
The appearance offers only four color options. All choices are mature and stable. They follow a moderate style. This combination suits family cars well. However, it may disappoint young users seeking vibrant colors. They might find the limited options regrettable. I personally recommend Ice Amber Green. It is the main color for the 2025 BYD Qin PLUS.
The interior features a simple and organized design. The central console has a symmetrical layout. The materials are solid, and the craftsmanship is detailed. The new car includes a redesigned steering wheel and a BYD Heart electronic gear shifter. The layout of the functional areas is clear and logical. It excels in both visual appeal and ease of use. The advanced smart cockpit, DiLink 100, is impressive. It comes with a 12.8-inch central screen. The system adds features like dual desktop switching, 3D vehicle control, in-car ETC, and sentinel mode.
In terms of power, the plug-in hybrid model uses BYD’s fifth-generation DM technology. It features a dedicated 1.5L efficient engine, an EHS hybrid system, and blade batteries. The engine delivers a maximum power of 74 kW and a maximum torque of 126 N·m. The total power of the electric motor reaches 120 kW, with a total torque of 210 N·m. The pure electric model employs e-platform 3.0 technology. Its eight-in-one powertrain is more efficient. The electric motor produces a total power of 100 kW and a total torque of 180 N·m, paired with lithium iron phosphate batteries.
