Recently, BYD's Qin PLUS EV new model has made new moves again. Real photos of this car have been exposed and have been spreading like wildfire online. When I, Nianhan, first saw it, it looked much more imposing than in the filing photos, and indeed quite interesting.

Everyone knows that the Qin PLUS DM-i and EV are close brothers, so looking alike is certain. However, the new Qin PLUS EV still has its own characteristics. The most obvious is the front face: the grille is gone, replaced by the now-popular closed design.

Of course, if you look carefully, you can still find traces of the old model, such as the headlights and the decorative strip on the front grille, except that they are now slimmer and look sharper.

Then there are the two sides of the front bumper. The air guide grooves are designed with a strong sporty feel, making the whole front look wider and lower, with a bit of a performance car flavor.

Let's talk about dimensions. This new Qin PLUS EV is 30 millimeters longer than the old model, reaching 4795 millimeters, with width and height of 1837 millimeters and 1515 millimeters respectively. The wheelbase is unchanged at 2718 millimeters. This size is relatively large among compact sedans, so space should be decent.

The car I, Nianhan, saw in the real photos has no sunroof, but there is an extra shark-fin antenna on the roof. I do not know whether it is standard across the range or only available on higher trims.

The rear still has a贯穿式 tail light—this is popular these days—but the new model's tail light style and rear bumper have both been redesigned, making the overall look more coordinated and more imposing.

Also, this new model adds a new color, a light blue, quite fresh, and young people should like it.

As for the interior, no official pictures have leaked yet. But following BYD's usual practice, it is estimated that it will remain consistent with the Qin PLUS DM-i, or align with the latest Dynasty family design style.

To put it plainly, it will be the familiar elements such as the floating central control large screen and the full LCD instrument panel. The tech feel will not be lacking. As for the specific layout and details, we will have to wait for the official announcement to know.

Finally, let's talk about power, which is also what everyone cares about most. The new Qin PLUS EV's motor maximum power is still 100 kilowatts, the same as the old model. The battery uses lithium iron phosphate. There is nothing more to say about that—it is BYD's signature strength.

But there is news that this time the second-generation blade battery may be used. If true, then range capability will certainly improve.

However, how much it will improve specifically is hard to say right now, and we will have to wait for official data. As for the driver assistance system, the new Qin PLUS EV this time can be optioned with a pure vision smart driving solution, which sounds quite advanced, but how it actually performs will have to wait until there is a chance to test drive it later before I can give everyone a definite answer.

Overall, the new Qin PLUS EV's facelift this time is quite sincere. The exterior is more fashionable and more imposing, the size is slightly larger, and space performance should be better. Although the interior has not been announced yet, it will most likely continue BYD's consistent tech style.

In terms of power, although the motor power is unchanged, if the second-generation blade battery is really used, the range should be a pleasant surprise. As for the pure vision smart driving solution, that is also a highlight, but how it performs specifically will have to wait until after actual experience before a conclusion can be drawn.

So is this car worth buying? Nianhan thinks that if you are considering a pure electric family sedan in the 100,000 to 150,000 range, then the new Qin PLUS EV is definitely an option worth paying attention to. It has good looks, spacious room, reliable brand backing, and range capability that will most likely improve.

Of course, the final price is also a key factor. If the price is suitable, then it will certainly become a dark horse in this segment of the market.
