BYD’s sub-brand Fang Cheng Bao is set to launch pre-sales for its first battery electric vehicle (BEV), the Tai 3 SUV, on March 31, marking the brand’s expansion into pure electric models. The launch event will begin at 7 p.m. Beijing time, the company announced on Weibo.
The Tai 3 will be the first model in Fang Cheng Bao’s newly introduced Tai series, which focuses on family-friendly SUVs with unibody construction, differentiating it from the off-road-oriented Bao series.

The mid-size SUV will feature dual motors—110 kW at the front and 200 kW at the rear—and is built on the brand’s smart EVO platform. According to Fang Cheng Bao, the Tai 3 offers strong energy efficiency in cold conditions, maintaining fast-charging capabilities even at -30°C.
Regulatory filings show the Tai 3 measures 4,605 mm in length, 1,900 mm in width, and 1,720 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,745 mm. The model will also support BYD’s Ling Yuan automotive drone system, a feature revealed earlier this month.
