We learned from relevant sources that BYD’s new mid-size car, the Qin L, is expected to be launched on May 28. With the launch of this car in the future, it will form a two-car pattern together with Qin PLUS to meet the needs of different users.

The integrated design not only makes the dragon face more three-dimensional, but also amplifies the horizontal visual effect of the front face.
