China-based electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer BYD has launched the Qin L, which is a mid-size electric sedan that might be able to compete with Tesla’s Model 3 by programming it to mimic comparable features at less than the price of Tesla’s car, approximately one-half of Tesla’s base price in China. The initial price of the Qin L is 119,800 yuan (which is around $16,500), which is significantly lower than 235,500 yuan (approximately $32,500), the base price of the Tesla Model 3 in China.

On a single charge, the Qin L has a distance of up to 545 kilometers (339 miles), which therefore satisfies the needs of consumers who are uncertain about whether to buy an electric vehicle bringing environmental friendliness and, at the same time, good vehicle performance. Besides, the car also includes leading-edge technology, for example, in the form of preliminary self-driving software as well as a completely digital arena, which is by today’s trends in the automotive world.

The company first presented the Qin L during a period of rapid growth of a company. In 2024, they have sold over 4.27 million cars, reaching the Tesla’s figure, and have secured the place of the world’s largest EV makers.

Within the next few years, the group is seeking to launch more models with an aim at diverse buyers thereby making a statement as a front-runner in the global electric vehicle market.
