Qin Pro was officially listed in January, and launched the fuel version, DM and EV in one breath, showing BYD's new energy technology strength. Of course, new energy vehicles are good, whether it is the DM version with an acceleration of only 5.9 seconds per 100 kilometers or the EV version with a cruising range of 420km kilometers under comprehensive working conditions, they are all outstanding in their respective fields. But in the face of cost performance, the Qin Pro fuel version with the guide price of 7.99- 1 1.58 million is undoubtedly the most attractive.
This time we test drive the fuel version of Qin Pro. In the beautiful Guilin, we can not only drive the Qin Pro to indulge in the mountains and rivers, but also experience the commuter car that shuttles through the daily cities, killing two birds with one stone. The first feeling Qin Pro gave me was that Yan value was invincible. This is BYD's first car designed with DragonFace, with a domineering hexagonal banner grille, beautiful LED daytime running lights, headlights composed of three groups of LED lamp posts, and a sporty front bumper. The front face is already very handsome.
The length, width and height of Qin Pro fuselage reach 4765/ 1837/ 1500mm. Because the length of the car body is enough, the profile of the side is very harmonious, and the roof line also has the effect of slipping back. The highlight of the tail is the lamp, the through taillight design, and the front and back are running water turn signals, which is worthy of being a self-owned brand lamp factory. Visually, the whole vehicle not only has the aura of an intermediate car, but also creates a great sense of advanced through design. Qin Pro has a better sense of grade compared with autonomous vehicles or joint venture vehicles. Moreover, the LED lights mentioned above are actually standard on Qin Pro. Is it a surprise?
The shape in the carriage is not bad, and the design of the center console is very simple, with horizontal lines as the mainstay, which is very eye-catching. It is worth mentioning that of the two screens, the 12.8-inch floating central control screen is the most eye-catching, and only two models are equipped. Other models are 10. 1 inch, but the large screen of 12.8 inch can also be selected. The other screen is an 8-inch borderless LCD instrument that comes standard in the whole system. The size is not super-large, but BYD redesigned the whole instrument area, with a novel overall look and feel, fresh interface and rich information. In addition, the interior texture of Qin Pro should be praised. Although it is only a car with a price of 654.38+10,000 yuan, the materials can't be too luxurious, but through various decorative boards, the workmanship quality is excellent and the quality is really good.
Then I'll talk about the 12.8-inch large screen in detail. I have seen this large screen that can rotate adaptively on other new BYD cars before, but it took me a lot of time to experience this DiLink intelligent networking system this time. First of all, it's fast. The 8-core 64-bit chip and full HD large screen ensure the fluency of hardware, and the interface operation logic is similar to that of a smart phone. Secondly, the system is highly integrated. In order to simplify the physical buttons, BYD integrated almost all the function settings in the car into this large tablet. However, in order to maintain ease of use, common operations such as air conditioning adjustment, volume adjustment and music switching will be placed on the home page or at the bottom of the page, which is convenient and quick to operate.
In terms of functions, voice control, online navigation and remote control are common. Not much introduction, focus on a few interesting ones. Qin Pro is equipped with BYD D++ open ecological platform for the first time, which not only supports OTA remote upgrade, but also has more and more applications to support the platform. For example, Qin Pro can be brushed, and the big screen is more enjoyable than the mobile phone. You can play the glory of the king, but you won't get stuck in the whole game of 5V5. You can even drive while singing karaoke songs, download karaoke songs for the whole people, connect wireless microphones, and cooperate with Qin Pro's stereo. Dilink intelligent networking system, which is not as fun as KTV, is still standard in Qin Pro.
Handsome design and powerful intelligent network, this is a cool car with static experience. The question is, will there be a gap after driving? Qin Pro Fuel Edition provides two powertrains, namely 1.5L naturally aspirated engine with 5MT gearbox and 1.5T turbocharged engine with 6-speed dual clutch gearbox. The combination of 1.5L+5MT is mainly to reduce the entry price. For some old drivers, it is worthwhile to spend 80 thousand on such a handsome car. But for most people, 1.5T is the main course.
This 1.5T turbocharged engine integrates the mainstream technologies such as in-cylinder direct injection, stratified combustion, variable valve timing and automatic delayed cooling, with the maximum power of 1 13kW/5200rpm and the maximum torque of 240Nm/ 1750-3500rpm. The freshness of its power output is very satisfactory. Thanks to the light throttle adjustment, the driver can easily dispatch power, and the speed increase is very direct and carefree. This sense of speed increase is not only in the initial stage, but even after 120km/h, the power output will continue, and the expressway will overspeed carelessly. Moreover, the test drive has been carrying four adults, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Qin Pro is an express train.
The 6-speed dual clutch gearbox is the old partner of this 1.5T engine, and its performance is beyond my expectation. During the whole day's test drive, I basically didn't feel the traditional problems of dual clutch, such as poor power connection and gear shifting frustration. This did not appear on Qin Pro. As for the fuel consumption, in fact, our data is not accurate, because the floor oil often accelerates and the fire never stops when taking pictures. The final fuel consumption is 7.5L/ 100km, which is for reference only.
In addition, BYD's new cars have made great progress in chassis texture in the past two years. Although Qin Pro uses the suspension of the former McPherson rear torsion beam, it actually drives with a solid and heavy driving sense, and the shock-absorbing effect is crisp and neat, which is very European. Whether sitting in the front row or the back row, there is not much difference in ride comfort, but the noise in the back row will be relatively loud. For drivers, opening Qin Pro is also a pleasure. The flat-bottomed steering wheel feels good to hold, and the setting of electric power is just right. It is gentle at low speed and stable at high speed, and there will be no problems such as vacancy or excessive alignment, which is convenient to use.
Finally, look at the spatial performance of Qin Pro. The wheelbase of 27 18mm ensures ample rear space, and the rear floor is flat, even if three adults sit, they will not feel uncomfortable. The configuration in the back row is also quite complete. All three seats have three-point seat belts, air conditioning sockets and USB charging interfaces are ready, but there is a headrest missing in the middle. In addition, in terms of trunk, the daily volume is 500L, and the design is fairly regular. When you need to carry large items, you can also put down the second row of seats.
Two 1.5L models are ignored, and the main model of Qin Pro is actually four 1.5T models, with a price of 9.98-1.58 million. At this price, Qin Pro's biggest rival is no longer an autonomous car, but a joint venture sales car such as LaVida, Sylphy and Yinglang. In front of these magic cars, Qin Pro is actually true, and it has advantages in design, technology and configuration. Qin Pro, which has always been regarded as the biggest weakness of its own brand, has many surprises, and the gap with its joint venture rivals is not obvious. In that case, why not buy an independent family car with higher value and more fashionable equipment at the same price end
