The hybrid drivetrain consists of a 1.5 liter turbo four cylinder petrol engine and an electric motor. Combined output id 303hp and 440nm. The 1.5 turbo poops out 154hp and 240nm, the electric motor 149hp and 200nm. Gearbox is a 6-speed DCT. Size: 4700/1790/1480, wheelbase is 2670. The BYD G5 is developed for those who want a fast hybrid but think the Qin is too small or too flashy. Debut of the BYD G5 is expected for the Beijing Auto Show in April.
