The Qin is a ‘dual-mode electric vehicle’, is has two ways of powering the wheels: pure electric mode (EV) and hybrid mode (HEV). BYD claims a combined power of 315hp and 440nm. The 1.5 turbo-charged direct-injected engine poops out 165hp, the electric motor another 150hp. Transmission is a 6-speed DCT. Max full-electric range is 50km. Sound all very impressive and price will be impressive too, the Qin will cost at least 130.000 yuan, but subsidies might get that down to 110.
