Fang Cheng Bao, a sub-brand of BYD, has announced the upcoming launch of two new vehicles in China. The Tai 9 full-size SUV is scheduled for release after November 15, with test vehicles arriving at dealerships in late October.
The Shark plug-in hybrid pickup is set to launch in late November or early December, with deliveries starting simultaneously. The brand aims to build inventory for the Tai 9 before its release to reduce customer wait times.
The Tai 9 is a 6-seat plug-in hybrid SUV measuring 5,270 mm in length with a 3,130 mm wheelbase. It features a 1.5-liter engine, two 200 kW electric motors, and a 66.48 kWh battery, making it the brand's largest SUV.
The Shark pickup, which debuted in Mexico in May 2024, measures 5,457 mm in length with a 3,260 mm wheelbase. It is built on the DMO platform and includes a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine and an LFP battery.
Fang Cheng Bao reported sales of 43,181 vehicles in September, marking a 79.02% year-on-year increase. Total sales for the first nine months of the year reached 285,436 units, a 147.53% rise compared to the previous year.
