On February 10th, BYD released the Qin PLUS DM-i 2023 Champion Edition, which is equivalent to an annual edition of the model. The new car has a total of 5 configuration versions, with a price range of 99,800 to 145,800 yuan, which is lower than the 2021 model’s 113,800 to 153,800 yuan. The specific configurations are as follows:
- 55 km Leading variant for 99,800 yuan;
- 55 km Exceeding variant for 115,800 yuan;
- 120 km Leading variant for 125,800 yuan;
- 120 km Exceeding variant for 135,800 yuan;
- 120 km Superior variant for 145,800 yuan.
The changes to the new car are mainly focused on updates to the configuration. The exterior configuration has added a new Mo Yu Blue color, which gives the car a more navy blue appearance.
The other configurations are mainly focused on the cabin. First of all, the interior has added a new Warm Sunshine Brown color, and the style of the seats has been changed to a bucket seat style, which is more suitable for young people and gives the Qin PLUS DM-i more of a sporty feel. The configurations include punched leather, electric seats, and heating.
Secondly, BYD has finally changed the small dashboard to an 8.8-inch suspended instrument panel, which is the same size as the center control screen, making it more convenient to read vehicle information.
Lastly, the Qin PLUS DM-i 2023 Champion Edition’s infotainment system has been upgraded to the latest DiLink 4.0 version, which is completely consistent with the latest models of the BYD family.
The car’s interior speaker has been upgraded from the original 4/6 speaker to 8 units, which will provide better sound quality and sound field performance.
Currently, there are four market rights for purchasing the car, including 24-month, 0% interest rate, 3,000 yuan trade-in subsidy, 6-year/150,000 km warranty, and free 2-year car networking flow service.
This means that the Qin PLUS DM-i 23 model has added more features without raising its price. Qin PLUS DM-i has already sold 300,000 units in the A-level market. With the new model’s market launch, it can maintain market sales through price advantages and face more intense competition.
