BYD’s Fang Cheng Bao Hits 200K Sales & Launches Bao 8: The New Flagship SUV for Global Markets

The new energy vehicle landscape is evolving at a breakneck pace. In fact, BYD’s sub-brand, Fang Cheng Bao (also known as Formula Bao), is leading the charge. On October 27th, the brand announced it has surpassed 200,000 cumulative sales. The brand achieved this milestone in just 23 months.

What’s even more impressive? The leap from 100,000 to 200,000 units took a mere 5 months. Its strong product matrix drove this growth. Specifically, the lineup includes the Bao 5, Bao 8, Tai 3, and Tai 7. Consequently, monthly sales have surged by 173% year-over-year. Fang Cheng Bao is undeniably a rising power in the mid-to-high-end market.

The brand built this success on a strong foundation. For instance, the brand’s average transaction price sits at 238,800 RMB. The flagship Bao 5 accounts for nearly 50% of total sales. It commands an average price of over 250,000 RMB, proving its market appeal. Meanwhile, 85% of buyers for the Tai 7 opt for the top-tier trim. Ultimately, this indicates strong consumer confidence in the brand’s premium offerings.

Introducing the New Flagship: The Fang Cheng Bao 8

Now, adding to this momentum, Fang Cheng Bao recently launched the large five-seater Bao 8. It offers two configurations priced between 379,800 and 399,800 RMB. This vehicle is set to redefine the luxury off-road segment.

Here’s a look at what makes the Bao 8 a game-changer:

• Design & Dimensions: First, continuing the “Future Starship Aesthetics,” the Bao 8 is a formidable presence. It measures 5195/1994/1875mm (L/W/H) with a 2920mm wheelbase, offering expansive interior space.
• Ultimate Off-Road Capability: Second, it uses the DMO plug-in hybrid platform. Its standard ground clearance is 220mm. Drivers can raise the Yunlian-P suspension to its highest setting. As a result, this increases the ground clearance to 310mm. The approach, departure, and breakover angles then become 34°, 35°, and 26°.
• Advanced Intelligence: Third, the Bao 8 comes standard with Huawei’s Qiankun ADS 4.0 system. This enables “parking space to parking space” full-scenario assisted driving. Furthermore, it also includes features like remote parking and parking valet.
• Hybrid Power: In terms of power, the 2.0T engine (compatible with 92# gasoline) works with two electric motors. It uses a 200kW front motor and a 300kW rear motor. The result is a staggering combined output of 550kW (737 hp) and 760 N·m of torque.
• Performance & Efficiency: Finally, an intelligent electric all-wheel-drive system manages this power. It delivers a 0-100 km/h sprint in just 4.8 seconds. It also boasts a 125km pure electric range and a 1200km comprehensive range. Additionally, it provides a 6kW external power output (V2L) for any adventure.
