Two electric car company BYD has expanded its line

Recently, the Chinese carmaker BYD introduced two new electric car, the first of which - BYD Qin EV300 - is a fully electrified modification of the hybrid sedan BYD the Qin, and the second - BYD the e5 300 - essentially a budget version of the first, but with a slightly different label
The numbers in the index refer to both electric nominal power reserve - 300 km on a single charge of the traction battery capacity of 48 kWh. Recall, the electric four-door sedan BYD E5, which debuted in 2015, had a more modest power reserve of not more than 220 km.




Models Qin EV300 (left) and E5 EV300 (top right) - the next of kin. De facto, the two are variations of gasoline passenger cars BYD Su Rui (below right), but differ from it not only power plants but also the appearance.

Brothers Qin EV300 and E5 EV300 received the same electric motor (160 kW / 218 hp and 310 N • m), resulting in the front axle. However, several different settings in the control program. As a result, the maximum speed of the electric vehicle Qin is 150 km / h, and for E5 company modestly claims "over 130". But a little more carefully E5 sedan consumes electricity. Although the index is 300, the passport reserve of the combined cycle he is 305 km, and at a constant speed of 60 km / h in this car can travel 360 km (whereas Qin EV300 - 350).





Behind the electric version of the Qin models can be identified only on the rating plate of EV and the absence of the exhaust pipe (in the front, too, the differences are minimal - such as the blue trim on the grille)

. In the Qin rechargeable hybrid, the service port is located on the boot lid, while the electric vehicle - in front of the bonnet. There are two slots: 220 and 380 V. While the electric vehicle traction battery more than the hybrid position it was able to lower the volume so the boot models Qin EV300 and E5 EV300 is 450 liters (for their hybrid predecessor - 300)
Acceleration to 100 km / h in electric Qin EV300 is 7, 9. The output E5 EV300 is not specified. Generally, cars are quite similar. Thus, the wheelbase at Qin EV300 - 2670 mm, while the E5 EV300 - 2660, length - 4740 and 4680, respectively, width - 1770 and 1765, the height of 1490 and 1500. Why keep the program in two almost identical models? The probable answer: sedan Qin touted as a luxury, and E5 - more utilitarian

. Already in the "base» Qin EV300 is equipped with a system of the circular review and keyless entry, stabilization, help start up the hill, tire pressure monitoring system, alloy wheels of 17 inches, with the electric sunroof.



All variants of electric Qin EV300 default put climate control, multimedia system with Bluetooth, navigation, voice control and touch screen diagonal of 12, 1-inch, an electronic parking brake, cruise control, LED lights, leather trim on the doors and the front panel. At E5 EV300 equipment more ascetic: such useful things as electronic stability control, or help at start uphill, side airbags, navigation, there are only the top version

. All trim levels Qin EV300, except elementary, have audio of DTS 3D-sound with 10 or 12 (in the top), speakers, and basic - audio system with six speakers. Dashboard -. Fully digital

The price of electric BYD Qin EV300 (as standard) was 259 800 yuan (about 39 thousand dollars), but for the E5 EV300 - 229 800 (about 35 thousand dollars). But this is without taking into account the state subsidies that can reach 109,000 yuan (16,000 dollars). The top modification Qin EV300 will cost the buyer at 309,800 yuan (48,000 dollars), while in the electric car among other things, there will be outdoor automatically folding mirrors, memory position of the seat and steering wheel, ventilated front seats, side airbags on the second row, a heavy-duty "cushion" the driver, and the supplied wall enters a home charging station with a capacity of 40 kW.
