BYD finally pulled the curtain back on the Qin Max interior. It is a mid-size sedan. Nothing more. No flashy launch parties yet, just leaked details and a calendar date. The car hits the market on August 13. Dealers should have display models by late July if the supply chain doesn’t stumble.
If you are hunting for a BYD Qin Max interior reveal or spec sheet, you are likely weighing options between the plug-in hybrid and the pure electric version. Here is what the leaked data actually says.
Pricing leaks: DM-i vs. EV trims
Leakage from dealers is messy. But the numbers seem consistent enough to paint a picture.
Plug-in Hybrid (DM-i)
Four trim levels. You are looking at a range of 115,001–145,000 Yuan. That converts to roughly $16,900 to $21,300 USD. It is an entry-point play. Aggressive.
Pure Electric (EV)
Five trims. Higher up the ladder. 125,00–155,0 “00 Yuan. About $18,400 to $22,800. The jump in base price is about a thousand bucks. Worth it for the range? Maybe.
Under the metal: Dimensions and design
The Qin Max does not reinvent the wheel. It stays within the BYD Dynasty design language we have seen for years.
Front and Rear
Chrome strip connects the headlights. Three-section air intake below. Simple. The rear mirrors this. Full-width LED taillights shaped like a Chinese knot. Smoked finish. Layered light textures. It looks busy but polished.
Dimensions
– Length: 4,866 mm
– Width: 1,880 mm
– Height: 1,495 mm
– Wheelbase: 2,820 mm
Mid-size. Compact enough for city traffic, large enough for a family sedan.
Inside the cabin
The interior wraps around the driver. Chrome accents break up the darkness.
You get a full LCD instrument cluster. A floating center touchscreen sits on the dash. The steering wheel is two-spoke and multifunction. Nothing revolutionary.
Practicality matters more here. The center console has a wireless charging pad. Dual cup holders. Essential.
New color alert: “Dawn Purple.” Yes, it is a real interior scheme.
Powertrain details: Flash Charging claims
BYD is pushing “Flash Charging” here. What does that actually mean for the Qin Max?
Plug-in Hybrid (DM-i)
– Engine: 1.5L
– Motor: 175 kW (236 hp)
– Engine Power: 74 kW
– Battery: Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP)
The LFP battery is safer. Cheaper to replace. Slower to charge than NMC, usually. But paired with a 1.5L engine, range anxiety vanishes.
Pure Electric (EV)
Two single-motor options.
- Base Motor
- Power: 120 kW (164 hp)
- Battery: 52.87 kWh
-
Range (CLTC): 530 km
-
Performance Motor
- Power: 240 kW (332 hp)
- Battery: 64.32 kWh
- Range (CLTC): 630 km
CLTC range is optimistic. Real-world highway driving will eat into that 630 km figure
