BYD’s premium off-road brand Fang Cheng Bao has officially unveiled the Ti 9, a full-size six-seat plug-in hybrid SUV, following its listing in China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) regulatory catalogue. The official images and specifications were released on August 11, 2026, ahead of the vehicle’s market launch. The Ti 9 is the flagship of Fang Cheng Bao’s Ti series, which also includes the Ti 3 BEV crossover and the Ti 7 SUV with both PHEV and BEV options. While the brand states the Ti 9 "will not wait too long" for its debut, no specific delivery schedule has been announced.
5.27-Meter SUV with Dual 200 kW Motors
According to the MIIT filing, the Ti 9 measures 5,270 mm in length, 1,999 mm in width, and 1,850 or 1,880 mm in height depending on the variant. Its 3,130 mm wheelbase accommodates a 2+2+2 six-seat layout. Curb weight ranges from 2,865 kg to 2,965 kg, with a gross vehicle weight of 3,495 kg. The SUV offers approach and departure angles of 19 and 22 degrees, respectively, and is available with 21- or 22-inch wheels. Top speed is listed at 220 km/h.
The plug-in hybrid system pairs a 1.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine with front and rear electric motors. The engine delivers 115 kW (154 hp) gross power and 110 kW (148 hp) maximum net power. Both electric motors have a peak output of 200 kW (268 hp), with rated outputs of 90 kW (121 hp) for the front motor and 70 kW (94 hp) for the rear motor. No combined system power or torque figure has been disclosed.
The traction battery is a 66.48 kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) unit, providing a stated pure-electric range of 310 km. The testing cycle for this figure has not been specified, so it cannot be confirmed as CLTC or WLTC. The Ti 9 also offers a towing capacity of 2,000 kg when equipped with an optional retractable electric tow hook.

Roof LiDAR and Split Tailgate
Fang Cheng Bao equips the Ti 9 with its DiPilot 300 driver-assistance system, known as God’s Eye B in China, featuring a roof-mounted LiDAR sensor. This LiDAR-based Level 2 system supports Navigate On Autopilot (NOA) functions on urban roads and highways. The exterior showcases a boxy design with a continuous front LED light band surrounding the Fang Cheng Bao logo, an active air intake grille, and silver skid plates. At the rear, the SUV features a split tailgate called the Tiandi Gate, a high-mounted brake light integrated into the spoiler, and a hidden rear wiper.
The Ti 9 had been spotted testing earlier, with camouflaged prototypes measuring roughly 5.3 meters in length and expected to feature BYD’s flash-charging technology. The official reveal confirms the vehicle’s dimensions and powertrain details.
Six-Seat Segment and Rising Sales
The Ti 9 enters China’s large six-seat PHEV and EREV SUV segment, competing with models such as the Denza N9, Li Auto L9, and Aito M9. Their starting prices are 389,800 yuan (57,800 USD), 409,800 yuan (60,700 USD), and 469,800 yuan (69,600 USD), respectively. Fang Cheng Bao has not yet disclosed pricing or a delivery schedule for the Ti 9.
Fang Cheng Bao recorded 27,907 domestic sales in June 2026, up 47.6% year over year and 5.9% from May, with a reported market share of 1.7%. The brand’s monthly sales have been steadily climbing: 26,361 units in May, 21,138 in April, 21,120 in March, 14,491 in February, and 19,735 in January, according to China EV DataTracker.
For overseas buyers interested in BYD’s expanding lineup, including the Ti 9, understanding the brand’s technology and market positioning is crucial. BYD’s Blade Battery technology, known for its safety and durability, is a key differentiator across its models. Additionally, exploring the full range of BYD car models can help identify the right fit for your market.
What Buyers Should Watch Before Importing
The Ti 9 is still in its pre-launch phase, and Fang Cheng Bao has not yet published pricing or a delivery timeline. For buyers considering the model for markets outside China, several points deserve attention before any order is placed.
First, the official pure-electric range of 310 km is based on an unspecified test cycle. Buyers should ask the local distributor or BYD’s export channels which cycle applies and how that translates into real-world range, since homologation figures can differ meaningfully from daily driving results. Second, the six-seat 2+2+2 layout and 5.27-meter body will suit some markets better than others; parking, registration, and lane-width considerations can vary by country. Third, import duties, EV incentives, and homologation rules change frequently, so a verified export quotation should always include current compliance information rather than assumptions.
Working with an established sourcing partner helps reduce these uncertainties. A partner with export and customs experience can confirm specifications against the official filing, explain homologation requirements in your market, and arrange shipping through official channels. That is exactly the kind of support BYDCN provides for retail and wholesale buyers who want to import BYD and its sub-brands without navigating the process alone.
