Market Performance

With a precise product differentiation strategy and strong backing from the BYD ecosystem, Fangchengbao has achieved multiple milestones in just over two years—from brand launch to market boom. The year 2025 was one of explosive growth for Fangchengbao, with cumulative annual sales reaching 234,637 units, up 316.1% year‑on‑year, making it the dark horse among new‑force brands. In December alone, monthly sales hit 50,868 units—up 36% month‑on‑month and 345.5% year‑on‑year—marking the first time the brand crossed the 50,000‑unit monthly threshold. The full‑year average transaction price stood at 234,000 RMB, with cumulative sales of all series approaching 300,000 units.

By model, the Ti7 showed strong hit potential from launch, posting 34,088 units in December and 86,259 units for the full year.

With the full delivery of the Bao 3 Super Charge Edition and Ti7 Super Charge Edition, along with the launch of the Formula S sedan family in the second half of the year, Fangchengbao is on track to hit its 2026 annual target of 250,000 units.

Core Technology

Fangchengbao draws on BYD Group's more than 20 years of R&D expertise and its deep footprint across electric powertrains, chips, software, and the full industrial chain to build a full‑stack technology system anchored by the DMO Super Hybrid Off‑Road Platform, with Super Charge and DiSus as complementary pillars.

The DMO Super Hybrid Off‑Road Platform is Fangchengbao's core proprietary technology. Wang Chuanfu has called it "a landmark achievement in BYD's technology strategy, integrating over 20 years of R&D and the core intelligence gained from millions of plug‑in hybrid units on the road." The DMO platform is purpose‑built for professional off‑road use, combining a new hybrid body‑on‑frame structure with an off‑road‑exclusive hybrid powertrain. It fully leverages BYD's strengths in high‑performance chassis, intelligent electric four‑wheel drive, and off‑road‑specific powertrains, achieving an optimal balance of safety, power, off‑road capability, and energy efficiency. Both the Fangchengbao Bao 5 and Bao 8 are built on the DMO platform, with combined power ranging from 505 kW to 550 kW, 0‑100 km/h acceleration in 4.8 seconds, and WLTC combined range exceeding 1,200 km for both models.

Super Charge Technology and Second‑Gen Blade Battery. On March 5, 2026, Fangchengbao ushered in the era of Super Charging. The Ti3 Super Charge Edition and Ti7 EV Super Charge Edition were jointly equipped with BYD's second‑generation Blade Battery and 800V Super Charge technology. At room temperature, the Super Charge models can charge from 10% to 70% in about five minutes, and from 10% to 97% in about nine minutes; in sub‑zero (‑30°C) conditions, charging time increases by only about three minutes. As of March 2026, BYD had deployed 4,597 Super Charge stations, with Fangchengbao adding distinctive stations at locations such as Mount Everest Town, Khorgos, and the Hexi Corridor—extending the charging network to plateaus, border areas, and scenic routes.

DiSus Intelligent Body Control System. All Fangchengbao flagship models are equipped with body control systems built around "electrification plus intelligence"—the DiSus‑P (intelligent hydraulic body control) and DiSus‑C (intelligent damping control). DiSus‑P offers a 140 mm suspension height adjustment range and has passed durability tests exceeding 500,000 shock absorber cycles, with maximum ground clearance reaching 310 mm. The system monitors three‑axis, six‑degree‑of‑freedom body movement in real time, actively adjusting suspension stiffness and vehicle height to improve off‑road passability and high‑speed highway stability.

Intelligent Driving and Cockpit. Fangchengbao has established a deep strategic partnership with Huawei. The flagship Bao 8 comes standard with Huawei's Qiankun ADS 3.0 intelligent driving system, featuring dual LiDAR and infrared night vision, supporting highway and urban pilot assistance. The Bao 5 Intelligent Driving Edition integrates BYD's "God's Eye DiPilot" and Huawei's "Qiankun Smart Driving" systems, making it the world's first production SUV with a dual high‑level intelligent driving fusion. The Bao 8, equipped with Huawei Qiankun ADS 3.0, includes "Leopard Turn" and city/highway NOA functions. The Bao 3 Super Charge Edition is equipped with the "God's Eye DiPilot" system and the DiSus‑C intelligent body control system as standard. On the cockpit front, Fangchengbao offers an exclusive AI smart cockpit with seven‑screen linkage and AI large‑model voice interaction.

CTB Battery‑Body Integration and CTC Technology. The Bao 3 Super Charge Edition's passive safety is built on BYD's CTB (cell‑to‑body) architecture, using the battery pack as a structural component of the body to improve torsional rigidity and crash energy absorption through chassis‑battery integration. The Bao 5 also employs CTC (cell‑to‑chassis) technology, deeply integrating the battery with the chassis to enhance body rigidity while lowering the vehicle's centre of gravity. Together with the "Leopard Turn" function—which delivers a minimum turning radius of 3.4 metres—these technologies help drivers handle complex off‑road terrain and tight urban spaces with ease.

Overseas Layout

Fangchengbao is one of BYD's global brands, and its overseas expansion is backed by BYD's business network spanning 120 countries and regions, as well as a deployment plan for eight self‑operated vehicle carrier ships. In 2026, Fangchengbao has set an aggressive overseas sales target—70,000 units, accounting for roughly 28% of its total. Global capacity has exceeded 400,000 units, with domestic capacity surpassing 300,000, and the brand is making effective use of BYD's overseas SKD/CKD manufacturing and supply chain capabilities in Brazil, Thailand, Hungary, and other locations.

In the Middle East, Fangchengbao is pushing deep into high‑spending markets like the UAE and Saudi Arabia. Despite shipping disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz in 2026, Chinese exporters, including Fangchengbao, temporarily stored 1,200 new energy vehicles in the Gulf of Oman—a clear sign of the brand's export momentum in the region. In Europe, Fangchengbao plans to focus on high‑penetration EV markets such as Germany and France, with localized production at the Hungary plant expected to come online in Q2 2026, providing critical regional support for its overseas push. The brand's global retail strategy includes a planned network of 300 stores in strategic core markets.
