BYD’s new brand Fang Cheng Bao releases more images of its 1st model

The number on the model's body has been changed from "2316" to "2318". It is unclear whether this implies that the model's launch will be delayed from June to August.

's new sub-brand Fang Cheng Bao continues to warm up for its first model, after announcing the brand's official name earlier this month.

Fang Cheng Bao shared several new images of the model on Weibo on Wednesday, showing it testing in the snow.

The brand did not mention where the pictures were taken, although some car bloggers said it was in Yakeshi, Inner Mongolia, known as the snow and ice capital of China.

BYD officially launched the Fang Cheng Bao brand on June 9, the fifth in its brand matrix, following the Dynasty, Ocean, Denza and Yangwang series.

The sub-brand will meet growing consumer demand for personalization by offering a unique range of professional-grade new energy vehicle (NEV) models, BYD said at the time.

Fang Cheng Bao's model lineup includes crossovers and sports cars, with its initial model, a hardcore SUV codenamed SF, expected to launch this year, according to a BYD press release.

In March, CnEVPost obtained several photos of the SF model showing the number "2316" emblazoned on its body.

The number 2 in the string refers to dual motors, 3 refers to three locks, 1 refers to a new platform, and 6 refers to a June launch, CnEVPost learned at the time.

It's worth noting that in the pictures released by Fang Cheng Bao yesterday, the number on the car becomes "2318". It's unclear if this means the SF model's launch will be delayed from June to August.

In the comments section of its Weibo, Fang Cheng Bao replied to a user's question about when the model would be released, saying that the launch event is on its way.

Fang Cheng Bao's brand name literally translates to "Formula" and "Leopard," symbolizing the quest for a transformative rise and exploration of the digital realm, BYD said earlier this month.

BYD has not provided pricing information on the first Fang Cheng Bao model in its warm-ups over the past few months, though CnEVPost previously learned that the model will target a market priced between 400,000 yuan ($55,700) and 600,000 yuan.

Xiong Tianbo, formerly head of BYD auto sales research institute, will be the general manager of the brand's sales division, leading the brand's product planning, channel sales, and brand building, a company insider previously told CnEVPost.

BYD (OTCMKTS: BYDDY) has delivered the first 100 units of the Yuan Plus, its first global electric vehicle (EV) model, in Mexico.

The delivery of the 100 Yuan Plus was made by BYD and three dealers, Continental, Dalton and Liverpool, which have stores in Mexico City and Guadalajara, BYD said today.

Yuan Plus is the first A-class SUV to feature BYD's e-Platform 3.0, initially available in China on February 19, 2022.

The model is the also first BYD model to be built for the global market under the name Atto 3 in several other markets. In the Mexican market, BYD is following the same name it used in China for the model.

"We are delighted to announce the simultaneous delivery of 100 BYD YUAN PLUS vehicles in Mexico City and Guadalajara. This milestone underscores the growing interest and demand for sustainable and efficient electric vehicles among Mexican consumers," said Zou Zhou, country manager of BYD Mexico.

BYD did not make any additional introductions for the model, which has previously been available in several markets, including Australia, Mongolia, Nepal and Jordan.

The model sold in China measures 4,455 mm in length, 1,875 mm in width and 1,615 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,720 mm.

The BYD Yuan Plus is powered by a motor with a peak power of 150 kW and a peak torque of 310 Nm, with a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 7.3 seconds.

In Mexico, BYD announced in February that it has entered into a strategic auto finance partnership with Santander Bank, through which BYD will provide a full range of auto finance solutions to local dealers.

BYD and Santander Bank will also provide Mexican consumers with financial services for NEV purchases, including down payments as low as 10 percent, installments of up to 72 months and waiver of application fees for vehicle purchase loans, according to a previous press release.

Denza sees 1st production cars of N7 SUV roll off line

The Denza N7 will go on sale later this month, with deliveries to begin in July.  |  BYDDY.US | HK

BYD's premium new energy vehicle (NEV) brand Denza has seen the first production vehicles of the N7 SUV roll off the assembly line, Zhao Changjiang, general manager of the brand's sales division, said on Weibo today.

Zhao did not provide any more information, though shared two images of Denza celebrating the moment.

On June 13, Zhao said the Denza N7 had received more than 20,000 pre-orders before specifications and pricing were announced.

On March 26, he said there were many customers who wanted to get the Denza N7 released and on the market as soon as possible, and that the model was expected to receive 30,000 orders before its mid-year launch, according to the volume of inquiries.

Denza is a joint venture formed in February 2011 by BYD and Daimler, with each holding a 50 percent stake at the time. In February 2022, the Daimler brand was rebranded as Mercedes-Benz. BYD's shareholding in Denza increased to 90 percent last year.

In August 2022, Denza let the D9 MPV go on sale, the brand's first model after the reorganization. The Denza N7 is the second model after Denza's sharing-holding change and its first SUV.

On the first day of the Shanghai auto show on April 18, Denza opened reservations for the N7, but its pricing information was not released.

On December 20 last year, Zhao said on Weibo that the Denza N7 aims to capture the market for conventional internal combustion engine cars priced at around 400,000 yuan ($55,750).

On April 25, Denza said the N7 had received 10,569 pre-orders, just seven days after reservations opened.

On May 30, Zhao said at Denza's first brand day event that the Denza N7 would go on sale in late June, with deliveries to begin in July.

The Denza N7 is a 5-seat mid-size SUV with a length, width and height of 4,860 mm, 1,935 mm and 1,602 mm, respectively, and a wheelbase of 2,940 mm, a previous regulatory filing shows.

Denza's only model currently in delivery, the Denza D9, began deliveries at the end of October last year and sold 11,005 units in May this year, the third consecutive month in which it has exceeded 10,000 units.

BYD today officially launched the 2023 Song Plus line of SUVs, after starting their pre-sale 10 days ago.

As it has done previously, BYD is calling these revamped models Champion Editions, including the plug-in hybrid Song Plus DM-i and the all-electric Song Plus EV.

The new Song Plus DM-i is available in four versions with starting prices of RMB 159,800 ($22,320), RMB 169,800, RMB 179,800 and RMB 189,800 respectively.

Compared to the June 8 pre-sale, all versions of the Song Plus DM-i are priced RMB 10,000 lower.

The previously available Song Plus DM-i was offered in seven versions with starting prices ranging from RMB 154,800 to RMB 218,800.

It is worth noting, however, that the Song Plus DM-i's two previously least expensive versions had a battery range of just 51 kilometers, which BYD has eliminated for the improved version of the model.

The entry-level version of the new Song Plus DM-i has a battery range of 110 kilometers and the final price is lower than the previous 110-kilometer range version at RMB 167,800.

The Song Plus EV Champion Edition also comes in four versions, starting at RMB 169,800, RMB 179,800, RMB 189,800 and RMB 209,800 respectively, all of which are RMB 10,000 less than the price at the time of pre-sale.

Three versions of the new Song Plus EV have a 520 km CLTC range and one version has a 605 km CLTC range.

The previously available 2022 Song Plus EV had only two versions, starting at RMB 186,800 and RMB 203,800 respectively. They both have an NEDC range of 505 km.

The length, width and height of the new BYD Song Plus are 4,775 mm, 1,890 mm and 1,670 mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2,765 mm.

For comparison, the old Song Plus has a length, width and height of 4,705 mm, 1,890 mm and 1,680 mm, respectively, and a wheelbase of 2,765 mm.

BYD's product array includes the Dynasty series and the Ocean series, and the Song family models include both the Song Pro DM-i and Song Max DM-i in the Dynasty series and the Song Plus series in the Ocean series.

BYD sold 240,220 new energy vehicles (NEVs) in May, including 239,092 new energy passenger vehicles, and 1,128 new energy commercial vehicles.

Its Dynasty series passenger cars sold 125,515 units in May, and the Ocean series sold 102,572 units.

In May, the Dynasty Series Song sold 13,685 units and the Ocean Series Song Plus sold 24,329 units, according to data monitored by CnEVPost.

The Premium Edition of Yangwang's first model, the U8, is expected to be officially launched in August, and the final price will be announced at that time, the BYD-owned premium brand said today.

Deliveries of the Yangwang U8 Premium Edition are expected to begin in September, it said.

Yangwang began pre-sales of the U8 on the first day of the Shanghai auto show on April 18, saying at the time that the model would be offered in two versions -- a Premium Edition and an Off-road Master Edition.

Both versions of the Yangwang U8 have the same pre-sale price of 1,098,000 yuan ($153,400), with the difference being that the former has more features and the latter has more room for modifications.

For BYD, its pattern for launching a new model is to start pre-sales first and offer a lower price when it finally goes on sale.

Yangwang will not use BYD's sales channels and will build its own showrooms, it said in a post posted today on its social media platforms.

Yangwang is currently building its first stores in 16 cities, including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Hangzhou and Chengdu, and they are expected to start trial operations gradually in August.

Yangwang uses an online booking model, where consumers can book through channels including the brand's mobile app and get delivery at offline stores.

Buyers of the Yangwang U8 Premium Edition will not have to pay a luxury car tax, as the tax is only available in China for models with a retail price of RMB 1.3 million or more, Yangwang said.

For the Yangwang U8 Off-road Master Edition, whether consumers will have to pay the luxury tax will be subject to their additional options.

The Yangwang U8 is currently only available in a five-seat version, and its interior is expected to be officially revealed in July.

On January 5, BYD officially launched the Yangwang brand and unveiled the Yangwang U8 and Yangwang U9, both of which will be equipped with BYD's e⁴ technology.

e⁴ is China's first mass-produced quad-motor independent drive technology platform, able to achieve precise control of vehicle four-wheel dynamics by virtue of quad-motor independent vector control technology, BYD said at the time.

The Yangwang U8 has a maximum output of over 1,100 horsepower, takes 3.6 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour and has a CLTC pure electric range of 180 kilometers, the brand previously said.

The Yangwang U9 is not yet available for pre-order, and its official launch date is unknown.

BYD (OTCMKTS: BYDDY) has officially entered the Italian passenger car market, as it expands its presence in Europe.

The Chinese new energy vehicle (NEV) giant held a brand and product launch event in Italy on June 13, introducing the BYD Atto 3, Han, Dolphin and Seal to local consumers, according to a press release today.

Italy is an important European automotive market and holds a significant position in BYD's efforts to enter overseas markets, BYD said, adding that it introduced new energy commercial vehicles to Italy in 2013.

In the passenger car segment, BYD will work with a number of core local dealers, with the first five stores opening in cities including Milan, Turin and Florence, it said.

The Atto 3, BYD's first global model, is known in China as the Yuan Plus and is already available in multiple overseas markets.

At the Monza Motor Show in Milan, to be held in mid-June, the Atto 3 will be open to the Italian public for test drives, BYD said.

In the future, BYD will continue to increase its localization investment in the Italian market and expand its passenger car model matrix, the company said.

BYD, China's largest NEV maker, stopped production and sales of vehicles powered entirely by internal combustion engines last March to focus on plug-in hybrids and pure electric vehicles.

The company sold 240,220 NEVs in May, up 108.99 percent from 114,943 units a year earlier and up 14.23 percent from 210,295 units in April, according to figures it announced earlier this month.

In May, BYD sold 10,203 NEVs in overseas markets, down 31.19 percent from 14,827 units in April.

In Europe, BYD entered the passenger car markets including Germany, Sweden and Denmark last year and came into the UK in March this year.
