Fang Cheng Bao

Fang Cheng Bao's first model, the Bao 5, will make its real-life debut on August 25 at the Chengdu auto show. In addition to the Bao 5, BYD today unveiled the Bao 3, and the Super 8, a concept for the Bao 8.

Fang Cheng Bao today shared images of the exterior of the Leopard 5 on its Chinese social media channels, showing off a number of design details.

Fang Cheng Bao said next week's event will be a brand and technology launch, so the official launch of the Leopard 5 could take place later.

The Leopard 5 will target the market priced between RMB 400,000 and RMB 600,000, which will further enrich the price range covered by BYD's models.

Fang Cheng Bao's poster says "Coming Soon", meaning that the model is not far away from its launch.

Fang Cheng Bao announced 10 days ago that its first model is named Leopard 5.

Leopard 5 is said to be equipped with BYD's new powertrain DM-o, which is expected to combine the technical advantages of DM-i and DM-p.

The number on the model's body has been changed from "2316" to "2318". It is unclear whether this implies that the model's launch will be delayed from June to August.

Fang Cheng Bao's model lineup ranges from off-road vehicles to sports cars, and its initial model, a hardcore SUV codenamed SF, is expected to be launched this year.

The new brand's official name could be Fangchengbao, with the first model expected to compete with the Mercedes-Benz G-Class.
