BYD (HKEX: 1211) has released high-resolution exterior images of the third-generation Qin Plus, continuing its teaser campaign for an overhaul of the key family sedan after a regulatory filing revealed dimensions and powertrain specifications for its electric version.
Lu Tian, general manager of BYD's Dynasty lineup sales division, shared the images on Weibo on Wednesday, detailing the exterior design after highlighting the car's size and space last week.
The third-generation Qin Plus features a wide front fascia, fastback styling, a broader rear end and full-width Chinese knot taillights, along with a new island blue paint option, Lu said.
The latest teaser provided no pricing or launch date. BYD is releasing details in stages ahead of an update to its important Qin sedan family.
The third-generation Qin Plus EV appeared in a new product catalog released by China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology on October 16. It measures 4,840 mm in length, 1,900 mm in width and 1,498 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,800 mm.
The electric model in the filing has 5 seats and features a permanent magnet synchronous motor with peak output of 100 kW (134 hp), a lithium iron phosphate battery and a top speed of 170 km/h.
Images accompanying Lu's teaser last week showed the third-generation Qin Plus DM-i plug-in hybrid. The regulatory specifications above apply to the electric version and cannot be directly applied to the hybrid.
The Qin Plus is currently the most affordable product line in the Qin family, offering EV and DM-i versions priced from 79,800 yuan ($11,880) to 131,800 yuan.
