Fang Cheng Bao started accepting reservations for the Bao 5 late last month, with a price range of RMB 300,000-RMB 400,000.

It weighs 2,890 kg and supports a top speed of 180 kilometers per hour.

The hybrid model is powered by a 1,497-ml engine with a peak power of 143 kW, and dual electric motors with a peak power of 200 kW at the front and 285 kW at the rear.

The Bao 5 is powered by BYD's blade batteries based on lithium iron phosphate chemistry, with information on the pack's capacity currently unknown.

It also has a number of personalized options, including power pedals, tail cameras, and a tow hook, according to the filing.

BYD introduced the Fang Cheng Bao brand on August 16, unveiling a technology platform called DMO and giving the Bao 5 its official debut.

BYD's hybrid technology platform previously included the DM-i and DM-p, with the former focusing on fuel economy and the latter more on performance. The company's pure electric vehicle platform is called e-Platform 3.0.

DMO is Fang Cheng Bao's proprietary platform, where O stands for off-road and DM stands for dual mode.

BYD also debuted the Super 8, a concept of the Bao 8, and another model, the Bao 3, at the August 16 event.

On August 25, Fang Cheng Bao made the Bao 5 available for pre-order on the first day of the Chengdu auto show, with a price range of RMB 300,000 ($41,170) - RMB 400,000 yuan.

As of now, the Bao 5's official launch date has not been set.
