On October 23, the 2026 BYD Qin L DM-i was officially launched, offering two configurations: the 128KM Progressive model and the 128KM Leading model. This mid-size sedan, with "economical, long-distance and intelligent" as its core, brings cost-effective travel solutions to family users through comprehensive upgrades in appearance, interior, intelligent technology and power systems.
Vehicle Appearance
Weiyang Gray color, interpreting the new trend of oriental aesthetics
The 2026 BYD Qin L DM-i's exterior design incorporates Eastern aesthetics, with the newly added Weiyang Gray color a highlight. Its gray base exudes the warm texture of azure glaze, while the play of light and shadow creates a clear and dynamic effect, creating a vehicle that is both stable and youthful. Its sleek lines and BYD's signature dragon-face design on the front, paired with sharp LED headlights and through-type taillights, create a sense of technology and sportiness, satisfying the dual expectations of family customers for both aesthetics and practicality.
Vehicle Interior
The 2026 BYD Qin L DM-i's interior is designed with simplicity and practicality in mind. It features an integrated, luxurious electronic hand-shift gearshift, allowing hands-free shifting on the steering wheel for convenient operation and enhanced driving safety, while also freeing up center console storage space. The interior is extensively crafted from soft materials, complemented by exquisite stitching and metal trim, creating a comfortable and sophisticated driving atmosphere. The ergonomically optimized seats offer excellent support and comfort, ensuring a comfortable sitting position even on long drives.
Intelligent configuration
Eye of God C + DiLink100, creating a smart travel ecosystem
In terms of intelligent driving assistance, the 2026 BYD Qin L DM-i is equipped with the "God's Eye C" advanced intelligent driving system. While retaining core features such as high-speed navigation assistance and automatic following, it also adds practical scenarios such as a traffic efficiency priority mode and a dangerous lane-cutting warning. The intelligent parking system covers over 300 parking scenarios, supporting front-end parking, rear-end parking, and offset parking. Combined with voice notifications outside the vehicle during exiting and parking, it significantly enhances parking convenience, making it easy for even novice drivers to navigate complex situations.
The intelligent cockpit has been upgraded to the DiLink 100 advanced version, supporting NFC car keys from major wearable brands, allowing users to unlock the vehicle with a simple raise of their hand. Navigation flow and music transfer functions enable seamless integration between the phone and the car, sharing the same benefits across both devices. Additionally, entertainment features such as microphone-free karaoke and idiom chaining, as well as a dynamic pet-themed desktop, instantly transform the car into a mobile digital living cabin. A recent OTA update added map waypoint editing and Bluetooth connectivity, ensuring constant updates.
Power and safety
Ultra-long driving range + ultra-low fuel consumption, all-round protection for travel
The 2026 BYD Qin L DM-i boasts an increased pure electric range of 128km, sufficient for a weekly commute. Recharging at a home charger costs less than using public transportation. On a full tank and full charge, the vehicle boasts a combined range of 2,148km, eliminating the need for refueling for long-distance self-driving trips. Its fuel consumption is a world record low, with NEDC fuel consumption of just 2.79L/100km. After an OTA upgrade, this drops to 2.6L/100km for models with an 80km range. Existing customers can also benefit from this technology.
In terms of safety, the new car comes standard with a high-strength body structure and a multi-airbag protection system, complemented by intelligent driver assistance features, providing a comprehensive safety barrier.
The 2026 BYD Qin L DM-i redefines family travel by combining ultra-long driving range, ultra-low fuel consumption, intelligent technology, and comprehensive safety features. Whether it's the economy of daily commuting, the convenience of long-distance travel, or the fun of intelligent interaction, this car's exceptional performance and thoughtful design make every trip a pleasure. For families seeking quality and value, the Qin L DM-i is undoubtedly a compelling choice.
