BYD’s Affordable Sedan Is Already a Great Success in China

The BYD sedan is already a success in the Chinese market, selling an average of 20,000 units every month. In terms of dimensions, the vehicle is larger than a GLI, measuring 4.74 m in length, 2.71 m in wheelbase, 1.84 m in width, and 1.51 m in height, weighing 1,625 kg and accommodating 495 L of luggage in the trunk, much more than its rivals, where the Corolla carries 470 and the Sentra carries 465. Its design presents a beautiful and modern look, with a hexagonal grille at the front, similar to the Song Plus, the hood is quite aerodynamic, and the headlight assembly is full LED.

On the sides, there is a clean silhouette, and the 17-inch wheels seem small for the size of the BYD sedan, which is a bit larger. Moving to the rear, there is a bumper with an air outlet, interconnected LED lights, and overall, it is a very discreet car.

Regarding its engine, the Qin Plus has an excellent setup that could gain significant attention in the national market, as this is the combustion engine block with the best energy efficiency in the world. It achieves 43%, while the average for conventional cars ranges between 15% and 20%.
