BYD targets younger drivers with new Qin Max flash-charging sedan
Chinese automaker BYD is expanding its lineup again. This time it is a new B-class Qin Max electric sedan. This fresh model is focused on younger consumers who want modern styling with the latest fast charging technology. As automakers fight for global market share, EVs that reduce charging anxiety are becoming the primary weapons in the industry.
The Qin Max was first revealed in government regulatory filings last December. Now, the company is preparing for an official showroom launch. Lu Tian, the General Manager of BYD's Dynasty Network Sales Division, confirmed the arrival of the new sedan, which will sit right above the existing Qin L model in the company's product hierarchy, offering buyers a slightly larger and more advanced option.
Size matters in the midsize sedan segment, and BYD decided the previous model needed a few extra millimeters. The Qin Max is 4866 mm long, 1880 mm wide, and 1495 mm tall. It also has a wheelbase of 2820 mm. When you compare it to the older Qin L, the difference is clear - the Qin L measures 4830 mm long, 1900 mm wide, and 1495 mm high, with a 2790 mm wheelbase. The Qin Max stretches an extra 33 mm in total length and adds 30 mm to the wheelbase, though it manages to be slightly narrower.
Visually, the vehicle follows the styling themes seen across other modern BYD EVs. The front end uses the company's family design language, with a closed-off front grille and sharp headlights that sweep upward. A three-section air intake sits low on the front to help with cooling and aerodynamics. The rear of the sedan shows off an intricate light design that looks like ribbons.

BYD challenges European legacies with the 1,582-horsepower Denza Z
Chinese automaker BYD is squaring up against Europe's premium brands with its latest high-performance offering. The company revealed its new Denza Z supercar at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, seemingly ready to compete with high-end sports cars from Porsche, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz. This premium model expands the reach of the company's dedicated sub-brand, Denza, into the global luxury segment. Unfortunately for the European customers, the vehicle arrives with a massive pricing difference between its domestic market and export destinations - what is a bargain at home turns into a luxury investment abroad.
All versions of the Denza Z have an all-wheel-drive powertrain that uses three electric motors - one on the front axle and two independent electric motors on the rear axle. The rear power units can spin up to 30,000 rpm, and together, this tri-motor system delivers 1,582 horsepower (1,604 PS), putting the Z far ahead of traditional combustion rivals.
Buyers can choose between three trims: a Coupe hardtop, a Spider convertible, and a track-focused Racing edition. When fitted with optional semi-slick track tires, the Racing variant accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 1.96 seconds, and it continues accelerating until it reaches a verified top speed of 350 km/h. The standard Coupe hardtop completes the same sprint in 2.25 seconds, and the open-top Spider takes roughly 2.3 seconds.
The Denza Z is noticeably larger than a standard sports car - the Coupe variant measures 4,780 mm in length, 1,990 mm in width, and 1,330 mm in height, sitting on a 2,780 mm wheelbase. This size matches the general dimensions of a Mercedes-AMG GT Coupe. Unlike most traditional two-seat supercars, the cabin features a more practical four-seat interior layout. The Spider convertible stretches out to 4,865 mm in length and stands 1,350 mm tall. The Racing edition is even longer at 4,870 mm because it has a large front splitter and a fixed rear wing.
