Photonic Aesthetics in Motion
The front fascia features a diamond-matrix grille with 3,000 reflective facets and an illuminated Geely logo, creating a striking nighttime signature.
Sculpted side profiles emphasize its 4,735mm length, with sharp character lines flowing into a streamlined fastback silhouette, while hidden B-pillars and chrome window trim add sophistication.
The rear integrates a 258-LED light bar with a subtle ducktail spoiler, offering a cleaner aesthetic than the Qin PLUS DM-i’s conventional design.
Core Components
Battery: Standard 15.5kWh ternary lithium pack enables class-leading 100km NEDC pure-electric range—nearly double the Qin PLUS DM-i base model’s capacity (8.32kWh);
E-Motors: P1+P2 dual-motor setup (100kW/320N·m) supports 10kW DC fast charging (30%-80% in 40 minutes);
Engine: Segment-exclusive 1.5TD turbocharged inline-four with Miller cycle and 43.32% thermal efficiency.
Performance & Efficiency Synergy
Acceleration: 233kW combined power + 610N·m torque achieves 0-100km/h in 6.9 seconds, 1 second quicker than Qin PLUS DM-i; top speed 230km/h;
Economy: Sips just 3.8L/100km in hybrid mode, with 1,300km total range—sufficient for Beijing-Shanghai journeys;
Tech Edge: World’s first 3-speed DHT Pro transmission enables full-speed parallel mode engagement from 20km/h, tripling urban responsiveness versus single-speed hybrids.
Ergonomic Cabin
The “Forest Green/Ivory” dual-tone theme uses soft-touch materials across 90% of surfaces, paired with antibacterial steering wheel and CN95 air filtration. Heated seats with acupressure support enhance comfort, though the rear center tunnel slightly compromises three-adult seating.
Intelligent Ecosystem
Displays: 12.3-inch HD touchscreen (1920×720) + 10.25-inch digital cluster support triple-flick navigation transfer;
Galaxy OS: 12nm E02 chip powers directional voice recognition with wake-free commands;
L2 Driving Aid: Standard ACC + 540° transparent chassis; high trim adds ELKA lane-keeping and auto-parking.
Note: Occasional infotainment lag reported by owners.
Despite BYD’s price cuts (Qin PLUS from ¥79,800), the Emgrand L HiP Dragon Edition (¥89,800) delivers superior value:
Performance Dominance: 1.5T turbo outmuscles Qin’s 1.5L naturally aspirated engine by 52kW, ensuring confident highway overtakes;
Range Supremacy: 100km EV range halves charging frequency vs. 55km competitors, saving ~¥2,000 annually;
Feature Advantage: Standard sunroof + 100km range vs. Qin’s base trim compromises.
Owner Testimonials
Praise: Beijing user recorded 80km winter EV range and 4.5L/100km hybrid fuel use, calling costs “unbelievably low”; adaptive cruise reduces highway fatigue.
Critique: Infotainment glitches and rear center hump impact comfort.
Conclusion: The New Hybrid Benchmark
The Emgrand L HiP succeeds by transcending traditional trade-offs—its 3-speed DHT Pro and 100km EV range prove hybrids need not compromise. While rivals strip features for price wars, it delivers ¥150,000-tier technology at ¥90,000 pricing. As one owner notes: “It transforms hybrids from compromise to first choice.” In the electrification era, this Geely pioneer is redefining China’s role in global auto innovation.
