On April 16, Fang Cheng Bao, a BYD sub-brand, held a spring launch event in Shenzhen, Guangdong.
In addition to the launched Bao 5 midsize plug-in hybrid off-road SUV, the Bao 8 flagship hardcore SUV, the Super 3 concept vehicle for the Bao 3, and the Super 9 concept sports car were officially exhibited at the event.
The Bao 8 adopts the “future starship” aesthetic design language, presenting a look with a strong sense of futurism, power, and stateliness. The Super 3 draws inspiration from the “interstellar tank”, with a clean and sharp body stance. The Super 9, a professional performance sports car under the Speedster category, is designed with features such as nine air ducts, space cockpit-styled dual cabs, and an open roof.
The “583” hardcore family consisting of the Bao 5, the Bao 8, and the Bao 3, plus the Super 9, mark the initial establishment of the “2+X” product system planned by Fang Cheng Bao. The “2” signifies hardcore SUVs and sports cars, and the “X” other models Fang Cheng Bao will explore with its users.
At the Auto China 2024 in Beijing, Fang Cheng Bao will be present with its product matrix.
