BYD Qin L DM-i buyer questions

How much does the BYD Qin L DM-i cost in China, and what would it cost me?

BYD lists the 2026 Qin L DM-i at RMB 96,800-126,800 in China (BYD China site, 2026-10-28). That is not an export price: shipping, export formalities, import duty and taxes come on top.

What is the electric range of the BYD Qin L DM-i?

The 2026 Qin L DM-i lists 128 km with a 15.9 kWh battery and 210 km with a 25.3 kWh battery on the CLTC cycle; BYD quotes up to 2,110 km combined with a full tank and full battery (BYD China site, 2026-10-28; CarNewsChina database, 2026-10-28). Real-world range is usually lower.

Can I import the BYD Qin L DM-i into my country?

It depends on your country's registration rules and on supply. New BYD cars are exported through BYD's own authorised export companies, so availability is confirmed per country. The China-market Qin L is left-hand drive. Send us your country and we will check.

Does a China-spec BYD Qin L DM-i come with a warranty abroad?

Warranty terms depend on the sales contract and on the exporting company. The brand's own warranty may not apply outside China, and CRAVEUO EV Export is not an authorised dealer of BYD. We state the warranty position in writing before you sign, so ask before you order.

Which charger does a China-spec BYD Qin L DM-i use?

China-market cars use GB/T sockets for both AC and DC charging. Public chargers in many other markets use Type 2 (AC) and CCS2 (DC), so a GB/T-to-Type 2 or CCS2-to-GB/T adapter may be needed (Akyga, 2025-08-27). Compatibility varies by car and charger. Check local rules, and ask us which version you would receive.
