BYD Launches Entry-Level FCB Ti 3 with Flash Charging at $21,325
BYD has introduced a new entry-level version of its Fang Cheng Bao (FCB) Ti 3 electric crossover in China, priced at 143,800 yuan (approximately $21,325). The announcement, made on August 13, 2026, is part of BYD’s strategy to boost sales of the Ti 3, which saw 5,145 units delivered in July 2026. This new trim lowers the starting price from the previous 153,800 yuan ($22,805) and incorporates BYD’s second-generation Blade LFP battery with flash charging capability.
A More Affordable Ti 3 with Flash Charging
The entry-level FCB Ti 3 is equipped with a 65.3 kWh battery pack, offering a CLTC range of 510 km. A standout feature is its flash charging capability: the battery can be charged from 10% to 97% in just 9 minutes at BYD’s MWh chargers. This positions the Ti 3 as a practical option for buyers concerned about charging times.

Powering the crossover is a rear-mounted electric motor producing 240 kW (322 hp) and 305 Nm of torque. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.9 seconds and reaches a top speed of 210 km/h. The curb weight is 1,920 kg.

Design and Dimensions
The Ti 3 maintains the same dimensions across trims: 4,605 mm in length, 1,900 mm in width, and 1,720 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,745 mm. This compact SUV is designed for urban environments, offering a front trunk with 151 liters of storage and an additional 28-liter box mounted on the swing-out tailgate.

Inside, the Ti 3 features a 15.6-inch central touchscreen, an 8.8-inch digital instrument cluster, and a 12-inch head-up display. Front seats come with heating, ventilation, and power adjustment. The cabin also includes two-layer acoustic front windows, tinted rear windows, ambient lighting, and a heated steering wheel.
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems
Buyers can opt for the DiPilot 300 ("God’s Eye B") LiDAR-based assisted driving system, which enables steering assistance on urban roads and highways. The system is part of BYD’s broader push to make advanced ADAS more accessible in its vehicles.
Other Trim Levels and Performance
The entry-level model joins a lineup that includes RWD and AWD variants. The RWD version with a 75.6 kWh battery offers a 620 km range and accelerates to 100 km/h in 7.3 seconds. The top-tier AWD model delivers 375 kW (503 hp) and sprints to 100 km/h in 4.7 seconds. The larger battery pack has been a topic of discussion, with BYD addressing a blogger’s claims about its capacity.
Market Context and Sales Performance
The Ti 3 initially launched in March 2026 with a price range of 153,800 to 169,800 yuan ($22,805 to $25,180). According to China EV DataTracker, 5,145 units were delivered in July 2026. By introducing a more affordable entry point, BYD aims to attract a broader customer base and increase monthly sales volumes.
What Flash Charging Means in Practice
The headline feature of the entry-level Ti 3 is its charging speed: BYD says the 65.3 kWh pack can be topped from 10% to 97% in about nine minutes on its megawatt-level chargers. In practical terms, that is closer to a conventional refueling stop than most current EVs offer, which matters for buyers who frequently cover long distances or operate vehicles in commercial use.
It is worth noting that the nine-minute figure depends on using BYD’s MWh chargers, which are still being rolled out mainly in China. Charging on ordinary fast chargers will take longer, and real-world speed also depends on battery temperature and state of charge. Buyers planning to import the Ti 3 should check which charging infrastructure is available in their market and confirm the vehicle’s charging connector and protocol compatibility before purchase.
Is the Entry-Level Ti 3 Right for You?
The entry-level trim keeps the core value of the Ti 3 while lowering the entry price. You still get the 15.6-inch central screen, heated and ventilated front seats, and the same 4.6-meter body as higher trims, but you trade some range and power for the lower price. If your priority is urban commuting with occasional highway trips, the 510 km CLTC range and 6.9-second acceleration are competitive for the price. If you need maximum range or all-wheel-drive capability, the RWD and AWD versions with the 75.6 kWh battery are the alternatives to compare.
For export buyers, the practical questions are about homologation, warranty coverage, and charger compatibility outside China. Because pricing, incentives, and compliance rules differ by country, an updated quotation from a verified sourcing channel should always accompany any specification sheet.
