"Cheap is not good", "you get what you pay for", we often hear this kind of voice. In the current Chinese auto market, because the market competition is becoming more and more fierce, the price war is continuing to be staged. In the new energy market, "the same price of oil and electricity" used to be an important selling point, but now "electricity is lower than oil" has become a basic requirement. In the face of the continuous decline in car prices, some people believe that this is the rise of independent brands, with the help of scale advantages to squeeze out the water in the car price, and some people believe that this is the result of reducing the allocation and price reduction. So the question is, is the 100,000-yuan level independent new energy vehicle really cutting corners? Recently, the media dismantled the two self-owned brand models BYD Qin L and Geely Galaxy L6, which are currently attracting high attention in the domestic auto market. Judging from the teardown results, the performance of both cars is significantly better than the average in their class.
In order to better judge the performance of the model, the evaluation is divided into three major items of "safety design, materials, and powertrain" and 13 small test items. Judging by the test results, both cars showed a high standard. Among them, Qin L has an advantage in the front anti-collision beam, chassis, passenger compartment, engine, gearbox, electronic control, fuel tank and soft decoration; The advantages of the Galaxy L6 are manifested in the rear impact beam, rear suspension and front suspension. In terms of the proportion of ultra-high-strength rigid materials and anti-rust technology, the two cars are tied. From the perspective of materials and technology, both models are better than joint venture models in the same price range.
For a long time, when it comes to self-owned brand models, many people first think of rich configurations, in fact, in those places that cannot be reflected in the configuration table, BYD Qin L is also very kind. Unlike those models that use low-cost recycled cotton in the interior, the BYD Qin L uses environmentally friendly virgin cotton with a large area of foam, and it is not spliced, but a single piece of design. Although this will increase the cost, it can bring a better experience to the driver and passengers.
In terms of design, as a model built on a new energy exclusive platform, the Qin L has a flat chassis and adopts a full-frame structure. The large 65-liter fuel tank can comprehensively increase the overall range of the vehicle. Although there is no range anxiety in plug-in hybrid models, friends who often travel by car during the holidays know that a longer range can save time by reducing the number of times you need to refuel in the service area. In terms of power system, the engine of the Qin L adopts water-cooled EGR, and the design of engineering plastic intake manifold, large inclination angle of the intake tract, and long stroke of the engine is applied to obtain a higher compression ratio and higher thermal efficiency. Electric-based transmissions also have the advantage of better heat dissipation and lower failure rates.

"Good quality and low price", this is a product that consumers like, and the rapid rise of Chinese brand models is also a magic weapon that they rely on. We all know that the advantage of scale is very important for car companies, and after the sales volume reaches 1 million, 2 million or even 3 million units in the year, the R&D cost will be reduced evenly distributed to each vehicle. At the same time, if the core technology is self-developed and self-produced, the manufacturing cost will be further reduced, which is also the reason why new energy brands such as BYD and Tesla are also working hard. Back to today's disassembled models, BYD Qin L can achieve a starting price of less than 100,000 yuan and better materials than models of the same level, one of the important reasons is that it has the advantage of scale and realizes self-development and self-production of core components. The continuous decline in the price threshold is also an important reason for the significant increase in the sales of new energy vehicles in the domestic market.
