BYD says its fifth-generation DM plug-in hybrids can cover up to 2,100 km (about 1,305 miles) on a full charge and tank. That is the company’s combined-range claim—not an independently confirmed real-world result—and the official materials reviewed do not state the test cycle for that figure.
Which cars and technology is the claim about?
The claim refers to BYD’s fifth-generation DM plug-in hybrid technology, unveiled in Xi’an on May 28, 2024. BYD introduced it in two models: the Qin L DM-i and Seal 06 DM-i. The launch announcement described these as the first vehicles using the technology. BYD’s May 2024 launch announcement and BYD Japan’s June 2024 announcement identify the models and technology.
Calling BYD a “Tesla competitor” is broad competitive framing, not evidence that either car is a direct match for a particular Tesla. The launch sources do not establish a model-to-model comparison. Reuters covered the technology launch in the context of competition with gasoline vehicles, but that does not supply a like-for-like Tesla comparison. Reuters’ May 29, 2024 report
What does BYD’s 2,100 km range claim mean?
BYD describes 2,100 km (about 1,305 miles) as the comprehensive range of fifth-generation DM vehicles. It is a combined-range figure for a plug-in hybrid, not an electric-only range. The official sources reviewed do not name a test cycle for the 2,100 km figure or specify the precise charge and refueling protocol behind it. Treat it as a manufacturer claim, not an EPA rating, a regulator-certified result, or a promise of that distance in everyday driving. BYD Japan’s announcement and BYD USA’s corporate page

That distinction matters when comparing vehicles. Range figures measured on different cycles are not directly interchangeable; a China-cycle number should not be ranked against an EPA rating as though both came from the same test. A useful comparison needs the same context for combined range and electric-only range, plus the fuel-consumption basis, battery and tank capacities, charging needs, and local price and availability.
How does the 2.9 L/100 km fuel-use figure fit in?
BYD also quotes fuel consumption of 2.9 L/100 km at low battery charge. Its 2025 sustainability presentation identifies this as NEDC consumption with the battery depleted. That is a separate claim from the 2,100 km comprehensive range figure: the presentation gives a test-cycle context for the fuel-consumption figure but does not specify a cycle for the headline range claim.

What else does BYD say about the technology?
BYD reports 46.06% engine thermal efficiency for the fifth-generation DM technology. This is the manufacturer’s figure, not an independently validated comparison with other engines. In its June 2024 announcement, BYD chairman and president Wang Chuanfu said, “BYD is at the forefront of PHEV technology in the global market.” That is Wang’s statement of the company’s position, rather than an independent assessment.

BYD’s May 2024 announcement listed five Qin L DM-i and Seal 06 DM-i versions in China, with launch prices from RMB 99,800 to RMB 139,800. Those are historical China launch prices, not current prices or a global price list. Availability and pricing depend on market, and current local details should be confirmed with BYD or a local dealer. BYD’s May 2024 launch announcement
