Why the different names?
Chinese brands often sell one car under several badges: a Chinese name at home (秦PLUS, Qín Plus) and one or more export names abroad. Renames happen to avoid trademark conflicts, to fit a global naming system, or because the domestic name does not translate well.
Named after the Qin dynasty; China's best-selling PHEV sedan.
