Presenting BYD, Fang Cheng Bao 3

Following the revelation of key specifications, Fang Cheng Bao has officially unveiled images of its newest model, the Bao 3. There are indications that this fresh release might adopt a plug-in hybrid powertrain akin to the one utilized in the larger Bao 5 model.

According to a report from CarScoops, the front facade of the latest SUV exudes a robust and assertive appearance, featuring sizable headlights complemented by dual slim LED daytime running lights placed above them. Observers can easily spot the distinctive flared wheel arches on the Bao 3, enhancing its road presence significantly.

The prototypes showcased, cloaked in detailed camouflage patterns, exhibit roof rails and spare wheel mounts as additional features. At the rear, the taillights boast a minimalist design with LED strips, reminiscent of the styling seen on contemporary Genesis models.

According to details shared by Electrek, the recently unveiled Fang Cheng Bao represents the commercial release of the "Star Wars" inspired Super 3 concept presented back in April. BYD has articulated that this fresh brand will provide a diverse lineup of distinctive and high-performance New Energy Vehicles (NEVs), spanning from off-road capabilities to sporty designs.

The inaugural entry from this brand, the Bao 5, made its debut in the automotive market last November. In a significant announcement made earlier this year, BYD introduced a trio of new models to its portfolio: the flagship Bao 8 SUV, the sleek Super 9 sports car, and Super 3 (Bao 3) SUV variant.
