New car features
As the newest member of the Qin family, the BYD Qin L adopts the ‘New National Wave Dragon Face Aesthetics’, with a delicate front face and a large bottom grille, making the overall appearance more atmospheric. The headlights are narrow and sharp, and the upward-pointing luminous ‘dragon whiskers’ blend together to make the overall appearance more spiritual.
From the side view of the body, its waistline runs from the front wing panel to the rear door, making the body more slender. Its slinky design adds some dynamism to the overall stability and atmosphere. We also see that the new car adopts the traditional door handle design.
At the rear, the wider rear shoulder wrap-around design not only echoes the front face, but also increases the muscularity of the silhouette. Meanwhile, the car adopts a penetrating tail light shape inspired by Chinese knots, which pulls in recognition.
