The 2021 facelift established the Qin Plus as one of China's best-selling electrified saloons, offering motorists a choice between high-mileage DM-i plug-in hybrid drivetrains and pure-electric models. Keeping this popular saloon reliable requires structured BYD Qin maintenance, focusing on battery cell balancing and hybrid powertrain servicing.
DM-i models feature a 1.5-litre Xiaoyun engine linked to an electric motor and an EHS transmission, backed by an LFP Blade Battery pack. Pure EV versions rely on a 48 kWh pack driving a compact reduction gearbox, with both variants utilising an active thermal management circuit to protect cell life during summer heat waves.
When inspecting a pre-owned Qin Plus, check whether the 2021-2023 battery consistency recall was carried out via the dealer network. Inspect rear brake discs for surface rust caused by regenerative braking, verify smooth throttle body operation, and test rapid charging stability on high-output public chargers.
