The 100,000-yuan class family sedan market has always been one of the most fiercely competitive and highly watched segments by consumers, both in the era of fuel vehicles and in the era of new energy vehicles. In the past, this segment was mostly occupied by joint venture brands; however, with the development of new energy technology by independent brands, this market landscape has changed.
Today we are going to talk about two popular hybrid family sedans, Chery Fengyun A8L and BYD Qin L DM-i. Each model has its own characteristics, yet they target the same consumer group. So with a budget of around 100,000 yuan, which of the two cars is more suitable for family use? Next, we will conduct a detailed comparison and in-depth analysis of the two cars to provide you with a reference for car purchasing.

The Fengyun A8L and Qin L DM-i are both hybrid family sedans, designed to provide consumers with an economical, comfortable and safe driving experience with outstanding performance. So this time we will compare them from four aspects: economy, comfort, safety and performance.
In order to more intuitively reflect the differences between the two cars, we still selected two specific trim models for comparison, namely the Fengyun A8L 2025 1.5TGDI 145km Luxury (official price 149,900 yuan, dealer reference price from 129,900 yuan), and the Qin L 2025 DM-i Smart Driving Edition 120KM Excellence (official price 139,800 yuan, dealer reference price from 129,800 yuan). Hereinafter referred to as "Fengyun A8L, Qin L DM-i."

Only 1 mao 8 per kilometer, Fengyun A8L is more energy-efficient
As consumers, our choice of a plug-in hybrid model is definitely based on the economy of vehicle use; of course, some people also choose it because of urban driving restrictions and the need for a green license plate. So compared with the Qin L DM-i, which one has lower vehicle use cost? Which is more energy-efficient?
The Fengyun A8L is equipped with the fifth-generation ACTECO 1.5TGDI high-efficiency hybrid dedicated engine, with a thermal efficiency of 44.5%, a WLTC fuel consumption of 4.2L per 100 kilometers, and a comprehensive fuel consumption as low as 1.01L, only 1 mao 8 per kilometer. It is matched with a continuously variable super electric hybrid DHT, with a comprehensive efficiency of 92%, a maximum EV mechanical efficiency of 98.5%, and 4 driving modes.

Not only that, the Fengyun A8L adopts an energy-saving optimized design throughout the vehicle, with optimization and upgrades in integration, materials, streamlined appearance, flat chassis, as well as brake calipers, bearings, tire tread patterns and other aspects, reducing wind resistance and rolling resistance to achieve the purpose of energy saving.
The Fengyun A8L has a CLTC pure electric range of 145km, a comprehensive range of more than 1,200km, and a measured range of more than 2,300km. DC fast charging: from 30% to 80% SOC, it takes only 19 minutes to complete, and it also supports 6.6kW external discharge function. So compared with the Qin L DM-i, does the Fengyun A8L have many advantages? First, let's look at a set of table data.

From the above table, it can be seen that the Fengyun A8L has more advantages in pure electric range and charging efficiency; although the comprehensive range with a full tank and full charge is similar, the Fengyun A8L's measured result is 2,300km+. In contrast, the Qin L DM-i's pure electric range is only 120km, and its charging time is also 6 minutes slower. Do not underestimate the extra 25km of pure electric range and these 6 minutes of charging time. In actual use, the Fengyun A8L is still more energy-efficient and more worry-free.
