Yesterday BYD launched 7The Qin Plus Glory Edition, which starts at 980,000, drops by 20,000. Changan immediately followed up and also gave the main model Qiyuan A05 a 110,000 discounts, actually only 7890,000. The difference between the two cars is only 900 yuan, let's analyze who is more cost-effective to buy, and see if after the price reduction, whether Qin plus has a greater advantage, or has it been reduced by Qiyuan.
BYD strikes first
In terms of brand and model, BYD has the upper hand, after DM-i technology came out, BYD's sales exploded, and DM-i's most prominent representative model is Qin Plus, which has been on the market for more than 3 years, and has accumulated 1.34 million Qin Plus users, and sold 480,000 units last year alone. Kaizen A05 was only launched at the end of October last year, which is less than half a year, not to mention that the brand is too new for many people, and it is still necessary to have more time to seize the minds of consumers.
Appearance: inductive and "durable".
Of course, there are also many people who don't like to "collide" with others when buying a car, don't want their car to become a bad street, and prefer something fresh, which is the opportunity of Qiyuan. The two cars, one in 2021 and the other in 2023, have only a 2-year time difference, but the styles are very different.
BYD's this decent one still retains the grille, conventional door handles, etc., not to mention that it is a plug-in hybrid car, you may think that it is a pure fuel car. But it's smooth, it's very round, it's not too old-fashioned if it has a sense of home, it belongs to the "durable type", and it won't be outdated for a few more years.
The design of Qiyuan A05 is more avant-garde, and the overall design is quite simple, and the closed front face is combined with the ultra-slender and long headlight group, which looks very sharp and sporty. Although hidden door handles are also more common, they are not used much on an 80,000-level grocery cart, and they should be more pleasing to the young ones. On the whole, Kaizen's design is more inductive, a bit different, and in line with the group of people with flamboyant personalities.
Interior space: modern intelligence vs. practicality
The interior and exterior of Qiyuan A05 are the same style, and they still have to be different from others, trying to simplify the physical buttons, using the screen that can use the screen, and using the voice that can use the voice, which makes its interior very simple and inductive. The narrow bezel long strip full LCD instrument cluster is 1025 inches, while the vertical center console is 132 inches, one horizontal and one vertical, quite visually impactful. At the same time, the steering wheel is a rare double-spoke flat shape, with a floating gear knob and color-blocked interior, the interior of the car is refreshing and trendy.
BYD's side is more traditional, it is a typical family style, a bit of a trumpet feeling, symmetrical on both sides, and the addition of some piano lacquer panels and double color matching effects, creating a sense of home practicality. The biggest highlight in the car should be BYD's rotatable large screen,Horizontal screen to see navigation,Vertical screen brush Douyin,Good experience,It covers a large number of commonly used apps,It is a car ipad。 The size of the instrument screen is 88 inches, the lowest configuration when it was launched in 2021 was only 35 inches, a small one, after the fierce reaction of consumers, finally changed to a more normal size, no longer slots.
The size of the two cars is relatively close, Qiyuan A05 has advantages in car length, width and wheelbase, while Qin PLUS is in the lead in car height, which is a little beneficial to the car with a battery under the car, and the vertical space does not need to be pressed so extremely. But the overall ride space is really not much different, but I want to remind you that the two lowest versions of Qiyuan A05 are fabric seats, while the Qin Plus is all leather seats.
Power: Acceleration, endurance and Qiyuan are dominant
Both cars are powered by a plug-in hybrid system, both powered by 1It is composed of a 5L engine + drive motor and a single-speed gearbox, which BYD calls DM-i, and Qiyuan calls it Digital Intelligence AI electric drive. Kaizen A05 engine 81kW 143Nm, electric motor 158kW 330Nm; Qin PLUS engine 81kw 135Nm, electric motor 145kw 325Nm, these two sets of series-parallel structures have their own power logic can not be simply added or subtracted, but we can refer to zero hundred acceleration to see who has better power, Qiyuan A05 is 68 seconds, Qin plus is 73 seconds, a difference of half a second, Qiyuan A05 accelerates more violently, of course, both cars are completely enough to meet the needs of the family.
In terms of battery, the ternary lithium battery pack of Qiyuan A05 is a little larger, with 907 degrees, while Qin plus only 832 degrees, is BYD's own lithium iron phosphate blade battery, the energy density is a little smaller, so the WLTC pure electric range of Qiyuan A05 also has a little advantage (53km vs 46km), but the overall difference is really not big, it can almost be said that Qiyuan is directly against the benchmark of BYD when building this car, and there is a great overlap in all dimensions, which is also the reason why they form competitive products.
However, as a latecomer, Kaizen also has some newer technologies, such as the world's first 10-layer hairpin flat wire oil-cooled motor technology, while only 6 layers are commonly used on the market, including this competing Qin Plus. Multi-layer copper wire flat wire can effectively improve the utilization rate of materials, achieve higher power and efficiency, its power density reaches 7kw kg, the highest efficiency is 978%, which is one of the reasons why the power of the Qiyuan A05 motor (158kW) mentioned above is greater than that of the Qin Plus motor (145kW).
Configuration: Or BYD has done a good job of cost control
For some, the feeling of motivation may not be very strong, after all, pure 1You can also drive up to 120km h with a 5L self-priming car, but at most the speed is a little slower.
But the configuration in the car is easy to feel, I put a **, take their respective entry versions as an example, Qiyuan A05 is cheaper than 900 yuan, but there are a lot of things less.
Summary
In fact, the two cars are worth it, 80,000 yuan to buy a 4 meter 7 long plug-in sedan, the basic configuration that should be there is also there, if you don't have a concept, think about the power, size and configuration of the Fit, it also sells for 80,000. But when it comes to the comparison of choosing one of the two, Qin Plus is more cost-effective, of course, Qiyuan A05 is relatively young and has a personality, has a sense of fashion, and you can also take a look if you like to try it.
