BYD Fang Cheng Bao Ti 9 2026: specs, battery and price

A 66.48 kWh battery and a claimed 310 km of range without starting the petrol engine are the biggest difference between the new Fang Cheng Bao Ti 9 and the usual large PHEVs. BYD has officially unveiled the six-seat flagship, measuring 5,270 mm in length, but left two key questions open: price and the test cycle behind the electric range figure. That means the 310 km can't yet be attributed to the CLTC cycle specifically.

The dimensions are almost limousine-like: width is 1,999 mm, wheelbase is 3,130 mm, and the cabin is laid out in a 2+2+2 configuration. Depending on the trim, the vehicle weighs 2,865 or 2,965 kg. Top speed is rated at 220 km/h, and with the retractable tow hitch, the permitted trailer weight reaches 2,000 kg.

The powertrain pairs a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine with two electric motors. Peak output of each motor is 200 kW, or roughly 272 hp. BYD has not yet disclosed the combined system output or torque, so simply adding up the individual units and calling the Ti 9 a "544-hp" car — or more powerful still — would be incorrect.

A LiDAR unit sits on the roof, with driver assistance handled by the DiPilot 300 suite, known in China as God’s Eye B. The system supports NOA functions on city roads and highways, but it remains an SAE Level 2 driver-assistance system — human oversight is still required.

What’s missing from the current reveal is just as interesting. Ahead of the official debut, the Ti 9 had been linked to BYD’s ultra-fast charging tech, but the published spec sheet doesn’t confirm it. The smaller Fang Cheng Bao Tai 3 has already put its Flash Charging 2.0 tech through real-world testing, and that test drew attention to battery temperatures at extreme charging power.

Ti 9 pricing hasn’t been announced yet. For context on the segment, the official Denza N9 starts at 389,800 yuan. Meanwhile the current Li L9 2026, after its May update, now starts at 459,800 yuan — an important correction to the original figure of 409,800 yuan: Li Auto has officially raised the new L9’s starting price.

Fang Cheng Bao is entering this class at a moment of notable growth for the brand: in June it sold 27,907 vehicles in China, up 47.6% year over year. The lineup is already expanding on several fronts at once — in July, a hybrid pickup, the BYD Shark, also appeared in MIIT filings under the Fang Cheng Bao name.

Back on July 1, Fang Cheng Bao management had confirmed the Ti 9’s launch for the second half of 2026, and just days before that, the model had already surfaced in Chinese regulatory filings with the same 66.48 kWh and 310 km of range. Now the car has been shown without camouflage and its core specs are known, but the company still hasn’t given a precise delivery timeline. The next truly important number for the Ti 9 isn’t power — it’s price: that’s what will show just how close the new flagship comes to the Denza N9 and the updated Li L9.
