Fang Cheng Bao, a sub-brand of BYD, is set to launch its new flagship model, the Bao 9, on November 19. General Manager Xiong Tianbo confirmed the upcoming release, which follows the company's recent updates regarding the vehicle's specifications and market positioning.
The Bao 9 features a six-seat layout with a 3130mm wheelbase. The interior includes zero-gravity seats in the front and second rows, along with independent third-row seats. All seats are equipped with heating, ventilation, and massage functions. The cabin also features a 30-inch panoramic screen and a 21.4-inch ceiling-mounted display for rear passengers.
Technically, the vehicle is built on a new hybrid platform and utilizes BYD's second-generation blade battery with fast-charging capabilities. The system allows for a 5-minute charge to partial capacity and a 9-minute full charge, with only a 3-minute increase required in temperatures as low as -30 degrees Celsius.
The model includes the Yunlian-A body control system with road surface preview and the iATS intelligent all-terrain system. The hybrid powertrain provides a total range of 1630 km. Safety features include the Tian Shen Zhi Yan B driving assistance system, a high-strength steel cage body, and a high-performance six-piston brake caliper system.
