BYD Fang Cheng Bao set to unveil 1st sedan as teaser images surface

• A semi-official BYD account shared four images, indicating the Fang Cheng Bao’s first sedan is imminent.
• The model will be the inaugural vehicle in Fang Cheng Bao’s all-new Mei series.

BYD (HKG: 1211, OTCMKTS: BYDDY) sub-brand Fang Cheng Bao may be nearing the unveiling of its debut sedan, as the first preview images of the model have surfaced.

The semi-official Weibo account @小迪快报 shared four images on Weibo Thursday, stating Fang Cheng Bao’s first sedan is coming soon.

The user’s post suggests the model will be the first in Fang Cheng Bao’s new Mei series.

These images depict the same vehicle shown in photos shared Wednesday by Weibo user Sugar Design, but with greater clarity and apparently originating from BYD’s team.

The images reveal extensive text printed on the car’s camouflage wrap, including words like «Magnesium (Mei),» «Formula,» «Radium,» and «FORA.»

Sugar Design said on Wednesday that this is the Fang Cheng Bao Mei 7 (Magnesium 7), slightly smaller than the brand’s other unreleased Mei 9 sedan.

BYD officially unveiled the Fang Cheng Bao brand on August 16, 2023. Its first model, the Bao 5, was launched on November 9, 2023, with deliveries commencing later that month.

The BYD-owned personalized brand launched its second model, the Bao 8 off-road SUV, on November 12, 2024.

On April 17 last year, Fang Cheng Bao rolled out the Tai 3 SUV as the first model in its Tai series, followed by another SUV, the Tai 7, on September 9.

In late April 2025, Xiong Tianbo, general manager of the brand, said in an interview with local automotive media Dongchedi that a sedan series would debut by the end of 2025.

On December 27, Sugar Design shared the first spy photos of the Magnesium 9 sedan on Weibo, marking the model’s initial public exposure.

2026 marks the third year since Fang Cheng Bao’s establishment, during which a new sedan series will launch, Xiong announced during the Chengdu auto show in August 2025.

Throughout 2025, Fang Cheng Bao sold 234,637 vehicles, representing a 316.11% year-on-year increase, according to data compiled by CnEVPost.

In January, Fang Cheng Bao sold 21,581 vehicles, marking a 247% year-on-year increase.

The Tai 7 SUV, launched in September 2025, has achieved 100,000 units sold, contributing one-third of Fang Cheng Bao’s cumulative sales.
