FactBYD cut the Qin Plus price again in 2024 and declared a new era in which electric costs less than petrol.
The first-generation BYD Qin Plus is a compact sedan unveiled at the 2020 Guangzhou Auto Show and on sale from March 2021, a restyled Qin Pro with unchanged dimensions. It comes as a DM-i plug-in hybrid, among BYD's first cars with that system, pairing a 1.5-litre Atkinson-cycle engine with an E-CVT and front-wheel drive, or as a battery electric Qin Plus EV with 47.5, 57 or 71.7 kWh batteries. A major facelift in January 2025 brought the DM-i 5.0 system. Its Ocean Series sister cars are the Destroyer 05 and, from 2025, the Seal 05 DM-i.

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.

It briefly served as senior sibling to Marquette, a GM companion brand cancelled after just one year.
Nissan hired former BMW engineers to help develop the 510's suspension, which is why period reviewers frequently compared its handling to the BMW 1600/2002.
A Trabant 601 won its class at the 1970 Monte Carlo Rally, with a second 601 right behind it in second.
The 600 was a stopgap: the P50's body over the 601's mechanicals, and for a while its estate was built alongside the new 601 saloon.
The G80 Sport brought a 370 PS twin-turbo 3.3 V6, a mesh grille and copper-tinted chrome with copper stitching to match.
The Vigor was sold only with a five-cylinder engine, an unusual configuration Honda used to fit a longer engine transversely under a short hood.
The GS/E coupe earned the nickname "German Charger" for its long hood, short deck stance borrowed from Detroit muscle cars.
This DeVille/Fleetwood was the first production car anywhere to mount its V8 sideways, Cadillac's front-drive gamble on the new C-body.
