Fangchengbao S and S GT 2026: price, range and specs

Fangchengbao, a BYD brand best known until now for its off-roaders, is expanding fast. At the Chengdu Auto Show, Fangchengbao showed the production S and S GT — electric models from the new “S” family. Pre-orders are already open in China, priced from 230,000 to 280,000 yuan (roughly $32,300–$39,300). Deliveries on the home market are set to begin in early September.

Chengdu was the first time both cars were shown in full, interiors included. The photos make clear how far Fangchengbao has moved from the utilitarian look of its Bao models. The S has a low hood, a sloping roofline, a frameless-looking profile and a short rear overhang. The S GT gets a more pronounced shooting-brake body with an extended roof and a sportier rear bumper. Both cars share the same “Life Metal Aesthetics” design language.

The Fangchengbao S is a big car: 5,060 mm long, 1,967 mm wide, 1,483 mm tall, with a 2,960 mm wheelbase. The S GT measures 5,025 or 5,095 mm long depending on trim, with the same width and wheelbase. In other words, the newcomers sit squarely in the class of large electric Gran Turismos already occupied by the Zeekr 001, the Nio ET5 Touring, and several Xiaomi and Avatr models.

The hardware matches the looks. Rear-wheel-drive versions get electric motors rated at 245 or 300 kW — about 333 and 408 hp. The all-wheel-drive variant pairs two motors at 190 and 300 kW, for a combined output of up to 490 kW, or around 666 hp. Top speed reaches 240 km/h.

Range is even more interesting. The family gets traction batteries of 76.744 and 92.093 kWh, with a certified CLTC range from 730 to 900 km depending on trim. The top version, then, is aimed less at city driving and more at long-distance travel.

Standard equipment also includes the DiSus-M magnetorheological suspension, flash-charging technology, and the God’s Eye B driver-assistance suite. Another feature is the new BYD 2.0 infotainment ecosystem: the cabin includes physical and magnetic mounting points for accessories, letting owners add extra equipment without modifying the interior.

The cabin itself is noticeably calmer than the exterior: a wide central display, a separate digital instrument cluster, minimal buttons, and a column-mounted gear selector. A few physical controls remain below the screen — a rare compromise given how eagerly Chinese automakers have been moving nearly every function into touchscreen menus.

These cars matter more to Fangchengbao than they might appear to. The brand started with body-on-frame off-roaders, then added the more urban Titanium lineup, and is now effectively becoming a full premium BYD sub-brand with its own sedans and GT. The family spans three directions — S, SL and S GT — and the first two cars shown in Chengdu are due to reach the market as early as September.
