FCB\’s current portfolio includes four models: Leopard 5 (Bao 5), Leopard 8 (Bao 8), Ti 3, and Ti 7. Each model targets a distinct sub-segment, giving the brand broad presence across off-road SUVs and box-style SUVs. November sales data show that these models led their respective categories.
BYD\’s Fangchengbao (FCB) marque absolutely crushed it in November, racking up 37,405 sales. This monster performance pushed them past Xpeng, solidifying FCB\’s spot in China\’s top four new energy vehicle brands. Leading the charge, the Ti 7 hybrid SUV dominated its segment and the \“box-style\” category, showing the fastest monthly growth among BYD\’s sub-brands, according to Y-Auto.
From January to November, total sales hit a remarkable 180,000 units. With an average transaction price hovering around 240,000 yuan (roughly 33,900 USD), it\’s clear that buyers are opting for high-spec configurations. This strategy firmly plants Fangchengbao in China\’s mid-to-high-end SUV market, a smart move given the fierce competition.
Ti 7: The Undisputed King
Let\’s talk about the star of the show, the Ti 7. This rig moved a whopping 24,019 units in November, snatching the top spot in both hybrid SUV and box-style SUV sales. It powered past 20,000 units in its first full month on the market, then did it again the next. In an astonishing 80 days, over 50,000 units found homes. This makes it the second-fastest new-energy model to hit 50,000 units overall, and the absolute fastest in the box-style segment. If you\’re looking for an SUV that blends capability with cutting-edge hybrid tech, the Ti 7 is definitely one to watch in the rapidly evolving Chinese market. For a deeper dive into \

Leopard 5 & 8: Off-Road Prowess, Premium Appeal
The Leopard 5, already crowned the 2024 new energy off-road sales leader, sold 5,569 units in November, pushing its cumulative sales past 100,000.

Meanwhile, the Leopard 8, competing in the premium 400,000 yuan (about 56,500 USD) segment, recorded 1,763 units in November and 28,288 cumulatively. These numbers really highlight FCB\’s strong presence in the premium and off-road sectors.
