The first teaser of the BYD Qin concept that will debut at the Beijing Auto Show next week. The Qin is a ‘dual-mode electric vehicle’, is has two ways of powering the wheels: pure electric mode (EV ) and hybrid mode (HEV). The Qin is officially still a concept but the vehicle will eventually hit the China car market for around 150.000 yuan (about 25,000 USD), with subsidies.

This strange thing is a robot, it can be hidden into the console part.

秦的仪表台上立有一个机器人，可谓是其内饰的一个突出看点。比亚迪方面表示，这个可升降的“i”机器人平时隐藏在仪表台内,车辆上电时会自动升起，它犹如一个机器人管家，可以通过表情、动作以及语言与用户交流,生动的实现人车对话。

据悉秦的百公里加速仅为6.9秒，百公里综合使用成本16元，仅相当于2升油的价格。
