Symptom Finder: Known Weak Points
| What you see or hear | Check first |
|---|---|
| Car will not switch on although the main battery shows charge | Test the 12 V battery first. The car needs it to bring the high-voltage system online, so a flat one stops the car. Replace it by OE number. |
| Rear arms or bushings arrive and do not match the car | Check the rear axle type. The 2021 400 km Departure and base 400 km have a torsion beam and other versions have multi-link, so reorder to suit the axle fitted. |
| Brake discs rusty while the pads still look thick | Regenerative braking does much of the stopping, so discs can corrode before the pads wear. Inspect the disc surface and replace scored discs by OE number. |
| Electric parking brake warning or a rear brake that will not release | Check the rear calipers, where the parking brake works, along with their motors and wiring. Order the caliper for the correct side. |
| Driver-assistance or parking sensor warning after a minor knock | On Smart Driving trims, check the cameras, radar units and ultrasonic sensors in the bumpers, and their brackets. A bent bracket can trigger the warning on its own, so check it before replacing the sensor. |
| A new tyre or rim does not suit the car | Read the size on the fitted tyre. The Qin PLUS EV uses 215/55 R17, 225/60 R16 or 235/45 R18 depending on version, so match that size. |

About BYD Qin PLUS EV Parts
The BYD Qin PLUS EV is the fully electric version of the Qin PLUS saloon. It has been on sale since early 2021, alongside the Qin PLUS DM-i plug-in hybrid. A single motor drives the front wheels. It is rated at 100 kW on most cars and at 135 kW or 150 kW on the long-range versions, and it runs from a lithium iron phosphate battery. There is no engine, so the car needs no oil, spark plugs or exhaust parts. The parts that matter are the brakes, tyres, suspension, battery and motor cooling, and the body. Body parts need the most care. The second-generation Smart Driving Edition of February 2025 brought a new front and new tail lamps, while some fleet trims kept the older shape. Every part on this page is listed by its OE number, and matching the number on the old part is the surest way to confirm a fit.
What to know before buying BYD Qin PLUS EV parts
Start by working out which body the car has. Cars built before the second-generation Smart Driving Edition measure 4,765 mm long. The second-generation car, launched on 10 February 2025, measures 4,795 mm and has a new front design and new tail lamps. Width stays at 1,837 mm and the wheelbase at 2,718 mm, so measuring between the wheel centres will not help here. Look at the lamps instead. The year of sale is not a safe guide either, because the Standard Edition added in March 2025 kept the older 4,765 mm body. Match bumpers, grilles, headlamps and tail lamps from either side of that change by OE number.
The rear axle is the next place wrong orders happen. Almost every Qin PLUS EV has multi-link independent rear suspension. The exceptions are the cheapest 2021 cars, the 400 km Departure and the base 400 km, which were built with a torsion beam. The 400 km Luxury sold beside them has multi-link, and the badge does not tell them apart. A look under the back of the car settles it before you order rear arms, bushings or knuckles. The front suspension is MacPherson strut on every version.
Wheels vary by version. Most cars run 215/55 R17. The 2023 Travel editions and the 2025 Standard Edition run 225/60 R16, and the long-range 600 km and 610 km cars run 235/45 R18. Read the tyre sidewall before ordering tyres or rims. The front discs are ventilated and the rear discs work with an electric parking brake, so measure the disc fitted before ordering discs or pads.
The drive system changed with the Champion Edition of 7 April 2023. That update moved the car to BYD's e-platform 3.0 with an eight-in-one electric drive unit. The battery figures changed from 47.5, 57 and 71.7 kWh to 48, 57.6 and 72 kWh, and the long-range motor went from 135 kW to 150 kW. Read the build date on the identification plate, and match drive unit, battery and charging parts by OE number.
Sensor hardware depends on the trim. Smart Driving trims with God's Eye C carry 12 cameras, five radar units and 12 ultrasonic sensors. The 2025 Standard Edition has no cameras and four ultrasonic sensors. After a bumper repair, check the sensors and their brackets as well as the panel. For painted parts, order by the colour code on the car.
Finally, the Linghui e5 sold to ride-hailing fleets is built on the earlier Qin PLUS EV. It measures 4,805 mm long and 1,530 mm tall, so do not assume its bumpers or trim fit, and match every shared part by OE number.
Before You Order: 7 Checks
- Look at the front design and tail lamps, or measure the length, to tell an earlier 4,765 mm car from a second-generation 4,795 mm car, then order body parts to suit.
- Match the OE number on the part you are replacing to the OE number on the listing before you order.
- Look under the rear of any 2021 400 km car to see whether it has a torsion beam or multi-link, then order rear suspension parts to suit.
- Read the tyre sidewall before ordering tyres or rims, since the car runs 215/55 R17, 225/60 R16 or 235/45 R18 depending on version.
- Read the build date on the identification plate before ordering drive, battery or charging parts, since the April 2023 Champion Edition changed the drive system.
- Order painted panels by the colour code on the car rather than by colour name.
- After a bumper repair on a Smart Driving car, check the sensors and their brackets as well as the panel, and order each by the OE number on the old part.
Generations and Facelifts
The Qin PLUS EV arrived in early 2021, launched alongside the Qin PLUS DM-i plug-in hybrid on the same 2,718 mm wheelbase. The first cars came as 400 km, 500 km and 600 km versions with 47.5, 57 and 71.7 kWh batteries. The first two used a 100 kW motor and the 600 km Flagship a 135 kW motor. The two cheapest 400 km cars had a torsion beam rear axle and the rest had multi-link.
In February 2023 BYD added Travel editions on 225/60 R16 tyres. The Champion Edition followed on 7 April 2023 and made the bigger change for parts. It brought e-platform 3.0, an eight-in-one electric drive unit, battery figures of 48, 57.6 and 72 kWh, a 150 kW motor on the 610 km car and multi-link rear suspension on every trim. Match drive and charging parts from before and after April 2023 by OE number.
The Glory Edition of February 2024 dropped the 610 km car and made no change to the exterior or interior design, so body parts carry over from the Champion Edition.
The second-generation Smart Driving Edition went on sale on 10 February 2025. It has a new front design, new tail lamps, a 4,795 mm body and, on most trims, the God's Eye C driver-assistance system. In March 2025 a Standard Edition appeared on the older 4,765 mm body with 16-inch wheels, and in September 2025 simpler entry trims arrived without driver assistance. In January 2026 BYD launched its Linghui ride-hailing brand, and the Linghui e5 is built on the earlier Qin PLUS EV. Before ordering body, lamp or drive parts, work out which of these cars you have and read the build date on the identification plate.
BYD Qin PLUS EV Parts: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I make sure a part fits my BYD Qin PLUS EV?
Match the OE number. Every part on this site is listed under the OE number printed on the original part, and if the number on the part you are replacing matches the listing, the part fits. That matters on this car because it has been built since 2021 in several versions, with two body shapes, two rear axle designs and three tyre sizes. If the old part is missing or its number is unreadable, send a photo through the quote form and we will reply within 24 hours, usually sooner.
How can I tell an earlier car from the second-generation Smart Driving Edition?
Look at the front and the tail lamps. The second-generation car, on sale from 10 February 2025, has a new front design and new tail lamps. It measures 4,795 mm long, where earlier cars measure 4,765 mm. Width and wheelbase are unchanged at 1,837 mm and 2,718 mm. The year of sale is not enough on its own, because the 2025 Standard Edition kept the older body. Once you know which body you have, order bumpers, grilles and lamps by OE number.
Do parts from the Qin PLUS DM-i fit the Qin PLUS EV?
Some may, but never assume it. The two cars were launched together in 2021 and share the saloon body and the 2,718 mm wheelbase. Even so, one is a plug-in hybrid with a petrol engine and the other is fully electric. Anything to do with the drive, cooling or fuel system is different, and chassis parts can differ as well. A listing that simply says it fits the Qin PLUS does not tell you which car it was made for, so compare OE numbers before you order.
Does every Qin PLUS EV have multi-link rear suspension?
Nearly all of them. The two cheapest 2021 cars, the 400 km Departure and the base 400 km, were built with a torsion beam rear axle. The 400 km Luxury sold beside them has multi-link independent suspension, and every version from 2023 onwards uses multi-link. The badge does not reliably show which axle a 2021 car has. Look under the rear of the car before ordering control arms, bushings or knuckles, then match each part by OE number.
What tyre sizes does the Qin PLUS EV use?
There are three sizes. Most cars run 215/55 R17. The 2023 Travel editions and the 2025 Standard Edition run 225/60 R16, and the long-range 600 km and 610 km cars run 235/45 R18. Each car uses the same size front and rear. The size depends on the version rather than the year, so read the sidewall of the tyres already fitted before you order tyres or rims, and order to match that size.
Why do battery figures differ between listings?
Because the figures changed partway through production. Early cars were quoted at 47.5, 57 and 71.7 kWh for the 400 km, 500 km and 600 km versions. From the Champion Edition of April 2023 the figures became 48, 57.6 and 72 kWh, when the car moved to e-platform 3.0. A kWh figure on a listing tells you little on its own. For battery mounts, cooling parts or anything else around the pack, read the build date on the identification plate and match the part by its OE number.
What changed with the Champion Edition?
The Champion Edition went on sale on 7 April 2023 and made the biggest change to the drive system. It moved to BYD's e-platform 3.0 with an eight-in-one electric drive unit. The battery figures changed to 48, 57.6 and 72 kWh, and the motor in the 610 km car rose from 135 kW to 150 kW. Every trim now had multi-link rear suspension. For drive, battery and charging parts, read the build date on the identification plate, then match by OE number.
Did the Glory Edition change any parts?
Very little. The Glory Edition arrived in February 2024 in 420 km and 510 km versions, and the 610 km car was dropped. The exterior and interior design did not change from the Champion Edition, so body panels, lamps and trim should carry over between the two. Equipment still varies from trim to trim. For screens, cameras and sensors, confirm the part by the OE number on the one you are replacing before you order.
Does the Qin PLUS EV need oil and filter changes?
It needs no engine oil or oil filter, because it has no engine. The parts that do need regular attention are the cabin filter, wiper blades, brake fluid, tyres, brake discs and pads, and the 12 V battery. The 12 V battery matters more than many owners expect, since the car cannot bring its high-voltage system online when it is flat. The car also has a coolant circuit for its battery and drive, so check hoses and levels at each service and order parts by OE number.
What is the Linghui e5, and does it share parts with this car?
Linghui is the brand BYD launched in January 2026 for ride-hailing fleets. Its e5 is built on the earlier Qin PLUS EV, with a 100 kW motor, the same 2,718 mm wheelbase and the same 1,837 mm width. It measures 4,805 mm long and 1,530 mm tall, though, so do not assume its bumpers or trim fit a Qin PLUS EV. Many mechanical parts may be shared, but only a matching OE number confirms it. Check the number on the old part before you order.
Do I need to recalibrate cameras after body repair on a Smart Driving car?
Plan for it. Smart Driving trims with God's Eye C carry 12 cameras, five radar units and 12 ultrasonic sensors, and several sit in or behind the bumpers, grille, mirrors and windscreen. Work in those areas can disturb their aim, so have the system checked and calibrated after the repair. Cars without God's Eye C, such as the 2025 Standard Edition and the September 2025 entry trims, have far fewer sensors. Order each sensor and bracket by the OE number on the old part.
Is the 2025 Standard Edition different from other trims?
Yes, in ways that matter for parts. The Standard Edition added in March 2025 kept the older 4,765 mm body and runs 225/60 R16 tyres. It has no cameras and four ultrasonic sensors, so it carries none of the Smart Driving hardware. Match body panels, lamps and sensors to that older body, not to the second-generation car sold at the same time. Check the front design and the tyre size, then order by OE number.
Safety Recalls Affecting This Model
If you are ordering a battery or pack-related component for this car, confirm which model you actually have before assuming any connection to that campaign. The Qin PLUS EV, the Qin PLUS DM-i and the Linghui e5 rebadge sit in separate catalogues even where the panel is common, so check the badge and the paperwork on the car in front of you rather than the model name on a forum post or a supplier's listing.
