BYD launches teaser photos of all-new BYD Qin

Shanghai (Gasgoo)- Chinese automaker BYD has recently disclosed a set of teaser photos of the all-new BYD Qin sedan, which is said to sit below the Qin Pro. According to local media outlets, the all-new model is ready to hit the market in 2019 and is in all likelihood priced from around RMB60,000.

The all-new Qin maintains BYD family's iconic “Dragon Face” design language, while some nuances still could be found above the grille—a slender silver trim is seamlessly flanked by matrix LED headlights, visually widening the front face. Air inlet openings are next to the bumper.

At the rear end, the design in which a silver trim connects LED taillights is in tune with that of the front face. It is worth mentioning that its taillight cluster and flank indicators look somewhat similar to the Audi A6L.

The record from China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology shows that the all-new BYD Qin measures 4,675mm long, 1,770mm wide and 1,480mm/1,500mm long, which is a bit smaller than the existing model's size, while the wheelbase length (2,670mm) remains unchanged.

Under the hood, the all-new model is offered in two types of powertrain—internal combustion engine or all-electric system. Fuel-burning version is powered by a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated engine that pumps out 80kW and 145N·m of peak torque. The pure electric version carries a 100kW electric motor that enables a top speed of 130km/h.
