The Fangchengbao Bao 8 (Chinese: 方程豹 豹8; lit. 'Formula leopard Leopard 8'), alternatively the Fang Cheng Bao Leopard 8 in English sources, is a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) full-size SUV manufactured by BYD Auto under the Fangchengbao brand. It is the largest vehicle from the Fangchengbao brand, slotting above the Bao 5.

Overview

[edit]

The Bao 8 was first previewed as a concept car called the Fangchengbao Super 8 in August 2023 during the Fangchengbao brand launch.[2] In April 2024, the Bao 8 was introduced in a production-ready prototype form, alongside the Super 3 and Super 9 concept cars.[3] Its interior images were revealed in June 2024.[4] Pre-sales in China were opened in October 2024, before its market launch in November.[5][6]

The Bao 8 is the first BYD product to feature Huawei's driving assistance system. BYD and Huawei initiated joint development on the Bao 8 in January 2024. In late August 2024, both companies formalized their collaboration to develop the first smart-driving solution specifically designed for off-road vehicles.[7]

The vehicle features a DiSus-P air suspension system, enabling a maximum ground clearance of 310 mm (12.2 in). Under normal suspension settings, the ground clearance is rated 220 mm (8.7 in). Approach and departure angles are 34 and 35 degrees with maximum clearance, and 29 and 18 degrees with standard clearance. The Bao 8 is equipped with low-speed 4WD mode, three automatic differential locks, and multiple off-road modes, including snow, sand, mud, and wading.

The interior of the Bao 8 come equipped with three screens, including a 12.3-inch instrument panel, a 17.3-inch infotainment system, and a 12.3-inch passenger touchscreen. Additional features include a 50-inch augmented reality head-up display, powered by BYD's own BYD9000 chip. It also supports Huawei UWB mobile phone car key functionality, enabling app transfers between Huawei devices and the infotainment system. Other features include a cooling storage compartment, ambient lighting, a fragrance system, and an 18-speaker audio setup. Two seating configuration options are available, including a seven-seat layout (2+3+2) or a six-seat layout (2+2+2).[6]

The Bao 8 features Huawei's Qiankun ADS 3.0, introduced in April 2024, a driving assistance system supported by a with roof-mounted LiDAR sensor providing advanced intelligent driving capabilities, including urban NOA (Navigate on Autopilot). The system employs an end-to-end network architecture designed to enhance safety and efficiency. It enables autonomous driving between parking spaces, including automated parking, and handles complex scenarios such as navigating gates and narrow lane turnarounds.[7]

The Bao 8 uses a Dual Mode Off-road (DMO) parallel plug-in hybrid system with a 2.0-litre petrol engine and two electric motors, delivering a combined 550 kW (738 hp; 748 PS). Acceleration from 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) takes 4.8 seconds. A 36.8 kWh BYD Blade LFP battery provides 100 km (62 mi) of WLTC electric range and a combined electric and fuel range of 1,200 km (746 mi). BYD claims, the fuel consumption with a drained battery is 8.5 L/100 km (12 km/l; 28 mpg‑US).[7][8]
