In 2023, the BYD Qin PLUS DM-i has won many awards and has become a well-deserved plug-in hybrid star product, but no matter how good the sales model is, if it always eats the old and there is no revolutionary product breakthrough in the iteration, it will be kicked out of the market sooner or later. Rising star, dare to be the first, Roewe D7 DMH is coming for Qin PLUS DM-i, and its courage to challenge the sales crown in the same class is commendable. So in this case, we might as well take a look at which of these two cars is more cost-effective, and it is more worthy of consumers to pay real money to support.
Before the formal comparison, let's take a look at the ** range and configuration distribution of the two cars, Qin PLUS DM-i is mainly divided into two versions: pure electric range of 55km and 120km, the main sales model is concentrated in the low-profile version, and the pure electric range of 55km is more to meet the needs of new energy; The Roewe D7 DMH is relatively streamlined, with only low, medium and high configurations, and the current starting price is 10980,000 yuan, but the pure electric range has reached 125km, which is already higher than the 120km of the Qin PLUS DM-i high-end model, and the battery capacity has not been reduced because of the high and low configuration.
Who is the real face of new energy?
What kind of era is in any thing, there is a design trend that belongs to it, if you put Qin PLUS DM-i in 5 years, then its appearance is in line with aesthetics, although the shape is modest, but it can be accepted by most people. And if you look at it from the design perspective of 2024, the Qin PLUS DM-i is a little old-fashioned and can't keep up with the times, not quite like the face that a new energy vehicle should have, the design language has been used for many years, and it still lacks a refreshing freshness after the facelift.
In comparison, it can be seen that the Roewe D7 DMH has considered more when doing research and development, at least it can be seen by passers-by that this is a new energy vehicle, and it is also the mainstream style pursued by young people at present.
As for the size that consumers are very concerned about when buying a car, the Roewe D7 DMH is more dominant in various data, especially the length of the car has reached 4890mm, which is 125mm longer than the Qin Plus DM-i, strictly speaking, it is even close to the size of medium and large cars, and the wheelbase has also reached 2810mm, so the interior space is more worthy of our expectations.
Qin PLUS DM-i body type is a standard compact car, the length of the car is 4765mm, although it is not bad in the same class, but it is still a lot darker than the Roewe D7 DMH, and the volume of the two cars is really a level worse.
The main difference between the two cars in the rear design is the design style of the lamp group, Qin PLUS DM-i adopts a through-type design, the logo is identified by the English letters of the brand, and the lower bumper has many levels, which looks relatively cumbersome; The Roewe D7 DMH taillights are a traditional split design, and the lower bumper is more concise and regular, which will be more durable in comparison.
The interior style has its own characteristics, and the Roewe D7 DMH central control layout is more reasonable
Inside, the two cars present different design styles, and the Roewe D7 DMH hopes to create a cockpit with a sense of embracing for the occupants, with a central control screen size of 123 inches, and there is also a "hat brim" above to avoid light, and the practicality is very considerate.
In terms of intelligence, the Roewe D7 DMH Zebra Intelligent System has obvious advantages in terms of voice, no wake-up, continuous voice recognition, etc. are more practical, which is also the ability of SAIC Group, as an early player involved in the networking of vehicles and machines, the Roewe brand has been continuing to make efforts in this regard.
The central control area of the Qin PLUS DM-i is still the design idea of traditional fuel vehicles, with a screen size of 12 in the middle8 inches, the dilink system equipped with the car machine supports the rotation function, although it is not a new thing, but it is more friendly to users who like to brush short**, especially this set of central control design BYD has been used for several years.
As a family car, the degree of convenience in daily use is more important than high-tech equipment, both cars use a floating island design, relatively speaking, the Roewe D7 DMH is designed with a larger hollow area under the design, which is more convenient for placing wallets, handbags and other items at ordinary times. The top is set up for the two occupants in the front row to place their mobile phones, two cup holders and a rear storage compartment, and small items can be found to be stored reasonably.
Qin PLUS DM-i is limited by the traditional gear lever design, so it is not possible to set up additional storage space here, but some information about the vehicle settings, air conditioning system and vehicle start buttons are arranged here, and the driver still needs to look down when operating, which is not more convenient and efficient than using voice or setting on the center console directly.
Thanks to the advantages of size, the Roewe D7 DMH is very outstanding in terms of riding space, and the standard of the mid-size car brings more spacious rear space, and the rear occupants can adjust the front and rear of the passenger seat and the angle of the backrest through the boss button. At the same time, the seat sponge padding is quite thick, and the Roewe D7 DMH uses a set of light-colored interiors, so it will be more relaxing in terms of visual experience, without too much oppression.
The leather of the Qin Plus DM-i rear seat is relatively hard, the sponge filling is not as thick as that of the Roewe D7 DMH, and the seat surface is only a simple perforation process, and the leather fabric and sponge filling are relatively tight, relatively speaking, the touch is average, and it is easy to form creases after long-term use in the later stage.
The power level is comparable, and the Roewe D7 DMH is overhung after independence
There is little difference between the two cars in terms of power structure, and they are equipped with 1The combination of 5L engine + motor, Roewe D7 DMH has a slight advantage in power and torque parameters, and uses a DHT gearbox, which has better driving quality than Qin PLUS DM-I in the medium and high-speed stages, and the battery pack of Roewe D7 DMH is 214kWh, pure electric range can reach 125km from the start, and it is not a problem to commute for 3-5 days.
As for the intelligent driving that young people are concerned about, both cars provide L2 level assisted driving, support full-speed adaptive cruise, lane centering, etc., which is in line with the mainstream level of the price and is enough for most users.
In addition, if you want to buy the Qin Plus DM-i 120km endurance version, you need 12 to start**580,000 yuan, compared with the equity price of Roewe D7 DMH 10980,000 yuan is 160,000 yuan is already a big price difference for a 100,000-level plug-in hybrid car.
At the same time, everyone is more concerned about the fuel consumption of the feed, Roewe D7 DMH and Qin PLUS DM-i are 43l vs. 46L, which is basically comparable, and is at the same level when actually used.
In the chassis part, the Roewe D7 DMH is the front MacPherson rear multi-link independent suspension, and the Qin PLUS DM-i is the front MacPherson rear torsion beam non-independent suspension, and the Roewe D7 DMH is higher in terms of hardware specifications. The actual driving experience of Roewe D7 DMH is closer to European cars, the chassis tuning is tough, the support is good, the Qin PLUS DM-i rear suspension is decent, the short board is that the vibration filtration is slightly insufficient, which is also a place that many consumers are worried about, compared to the cost of independent rear suspension, the comfort experience of rear passengers is better.
Let's say something really:
The 100,000-level plug-in hybrid car market is not what it used to be, and everyone has taken out their housekeeping skills to serve consumers, and it has to be denied that Qin PLUS DM-i is louder and has stronger brand influence, but Roewe D7 DMH is more suitable for users who are good at seeing the essence through the surface, as long as they are compared, they can find which is stronger and which is weaker. Whether static or dynamic, Roewe D7 DMH does not lose to Qin PLUS DM-i, the sales crown, space size, interior atmosphere, etc. are better, and ** has long been not the core advantage of BYD, comprehensive product power + reasonable pricing is the core indicator of a family car, the first battle can only be temporary, for consumers to drive comfortably, sitting comfortably is the most valuable place to use the car.
