When a compact family sedan pushes its wheelbase to 2800mm, claims a combined fuel and electric range of 2290km, and sets a limited-time starting price as low as 76,900 yuan, the comparison benchmarks in the family sedan market are hard not to reset. On October 27, the third-generation Qin PLUS DM-i was officially launched. The new car comes in 3 variants, offering two pure electric range versions of 140 kilometers and 220 kilometers, with a limited-time super value price of 76,900 to 97,900 yuan. Centering on the usage scenarios of young people and pragmatic families, the third-generation Qin PLUS has been adjusted simultaneously across dimensions including body dimensions, exterior design, fuel economy, range performance, intelligent experience, and safety equipment, and its product information has been fully laid out.
First, space: dimensions increased, with both the cabin and storage moving "beyond sufficient"
For young families, multi-person travel and long-distance trips are becoming increasingly common, so space has naturally become the first threshold that cannot be avoided. The third-generation Qin PLUS brings body dimensions to 4840*1900*1498mm, with a wheelbase of 2800mm, offering the largest passenger cabin space in its class, and its size has already reached the level of mid-size cars. For a family sedan, this is not simply stretching the body, but directly raising the standard for what counts as "spacious."
Whether one sits comfortably still depends on the seats and details. The third-generation Qin PLUS is equipped with front seat ventilation and heating, and the rear seat cushion has been lengthened by 21mm, exceeding the level of mainstream family sedans, bringing long-distance riding comfort into the design scope. In terms of storage, the whole vehicle has 33 storage spaces, and the trunk reaches 570L. Small items for daily commuting and luggage and equipment for whole-family long trips all have corresponding storage locations. Space performance no longer stops at "barely sufficient," but moves toward a mobile home where the whole family can enjoy comfort.
Next, design: the front face is renewed, and color schemes and cabin texture are adjusted simultaneously
Beyond space, young users also have clear requirements for the appearance of a family sedan. The third-generation Qin PLUS has been comprehensively renewed in design. The front face cancels the previous generation's "big mouth" and adopts a wind-breaking sporty front face. The shark-nose profile combines with the air ducts on both sides converging forward, reshaping the front face's sense of depth; the sharp-eye blade headlights echo the flowing-light auspicious-finish taillights, and the 17-inch sporty wheels further amplify the vehicle's presence.
Personalized expression has also been incorporated into the color scheme. The new car introduces the all-new exterior colors Island Blue and Titanium Crystal Gray, and offers as many as 9 paint colors, including the optional two-tone exterior of Island Blue and Ink Bamboo Green. Inside, it adopts the Smart Sensation Expansive Cabin, with two interior color tones available: Cloud Yarn Beige and Ink Smoke Gray; the instrument panel abandons piano lacquer that easily picks up fingerprints, switching to soft-wrapped materials and warm wood grain, paired with a 12.8-inch central control screen, an 8.8-inch semi-embedded LCD instrument panel, and a new two-spoke leather steering wheel. Technological texture and a relaxed atmosphere coexist in the same cabin, and the choice of colors and materials is also closer to young users' aesthetic preferences.
Fuel consumption and range: 2.58L fuel consumption at low battery, 220km pure electric, 2290km combined range
As the sales champion in the compact family sedan market for 3 consecutive years, the Qin PLUS had already built a reputation for "ultra-low fuel consumption and ultra-long range," with more than 1.85 million owners choosing it together. The third-generation Qin PLUS continues to push fuel consumption data lower, reducing fuel consumption at low battery per 100 kilometers to 2.58L, the lowest in its class, directly placing the concern that "big car = high fuel consumption" before the data.
In terms of pure electric range, the new car increases it to 220 kilometers, the longest among plug-in hybrids in its class, allowing daily commuting to be done entirely as a pure EV; the combined range with a full tank and full charge exceeds 2290 kilometers, making a one-tank trip from Shenzhen directly to Beijing no problem. Pure electric for commuting and one tank of fuel for long trips, one car covers two usage modes, and the experience of economical travel is concretely reflected in the two indicators of range and fuel consumption.
Intelligence and safety: assisted driving optional, cabin system upgraded simultaneously
As one's radius of life expands, a smart car can make the journey much easier. The third-generation Qin PLUS can be optionally equipped with God's Eye B assisted driving laser version and God's Eye 5.0, providing smooth following, precise judgment, and rapid response in scenarios such as urban congestion, long-distance highways, and narrow roads; after arriving at the destination, get-out-and-park can be used, with the vehicle automatically parking itself. Following its smart parking backstop, BYD is the first to promise a 1-year urban navigation safety backstop, adding another layer of reassurance to intelligent travel.
In the cabin section, the high-end intelligent cockpit version - DiLink 150 features a newly optimized and upgraded system UI, covering driving and entertainment needs in multiple scenarios, making car use smarter and shortening the social distance between owners and their vehicles. At the safety level, the third-generation Qin PLUS is equipped with a class-leading high-speed tire blowout auxiliary stability control system, and together with the high-safety Blade Battery and complete active and passive safety equipment, forms a full-dimensional protection system from body structure and battery safety to driving stability. Library-level NVH quietness, DMS driver fatigue monitoring, privacy security, and other equipment are also included in the safety defense line for family travel.
Market accumulation and dealership information: the Qin family has over 2.9 million users, and the new car has arrived at stores
As of September 2026, the Qin family has accumulated the trust of more than 2.9 million users, and the Qin PLUS has won the sales championship in the compact family sedan market for three consecutive years, breaking the joint venture brands' monopoly on that segment. The long-accumulated ultra-low fuel consumption, ultra-long range, and reliable quality have formed the Qin PLUS's solid user reputation and also made it the economical first choice for young family users' travel. The third-generation Qin PLUS continues to advance in space, appearance, range, fuel consumption, intelligence, safety, and other aspects, both raising the entry threshold for family sedans and responding to users' demand for high-quality household plug-in hybrid sedans.
At present, the new car has successively arrived at major stores across the country. For consumers who care about price, space, range, and intelligent equipment, the on-paper information of the third-generation Qin PLUS DM-i has already given a clear answer. What remains is to visit a BYD offline store for appreciation and a test drive, and personally experience the segment-leading product strength of this greatly beautiful family sedan.
