Super 3/Bao 3
The entry-level Super 3 concept will be renamed Bao 3 once it reaches production. It is a mid-size, 4.7-meter-long, rugged, and exaggerated SUV focused on young buyers. Fang Cheng Bao claims that Super 3 “highlights the personality of young people.” It features a drone port on the roof, which, according to the company, provides a “car-to-sky” experience.
Unlike its sister model, the Bao 5, which is a PHEV, the Bao 3 will be fully electric. As if futuristic design were not enough, BYD calls the Bao 3’s chassis “Star Wars” inspired. It has hidden door handles and electronic rear-view mirrors. Wide wheel arches and a rear-mounted spare tire give it hard-core vibes. Super 3/Bao 3 will debut publicly at Auto China 2024 in Beijing next week. The base price is expected to be around 200,000 yuan (27,600 USD).

Bao 8
If the Bao 3 will be the entry-level model for the Fang Cheng Bao family, the Bao 8 is expected to be the brand’s flagship SUV.
It is positioned as a large SUV and sits on BYD’s Dual Mode Off-road (DMO) hybrid platform. It will feature a three-row seat layout and be equipped with BYD’s Disus-P suspension system.
The boxy design resembles the flagship of its sister brand – YangWang U8. It also features a lidar on the top of the windshield. Bao 8 will most likely come as PHEV or EREV.
