Overview

The Bao 5 was introduced in China in August 2023 and went on sale in November 2023. It is distributed through Fangchengbao direct sales stores, instead of BYD dealerships.[7] [8] [9]

The Bao 5 is an off-road oriented SUV with body-on-frame construction, and built on a DMO (Dual Mode Off-Road) Super Hybrid system from BYD Auto. It has an approach and departure angles of 35 and 32 degrees respectively.[10] BYD also offers a high-spec variant of the Bao 5 with the Cloud-P chassis technology, featuring a height-adjustable hydraulic active suspension system from the Yangwang U8.[11]

The SUV is powered by a 1.5-litre 1450NaN0 turbocharged petrol engine, two electric motors and three differential locks. The combined power output is rated at 5050NaN0 and 760abbr=onNaNabbr=on. The Bao 5 can reach 125km (78miles) in 16 minutes of charge. The combined range of the Bao is 1200km (700miles). Other features of the vehicle include a Devialet sound system, a 50-inch head-up display and a NaN0NaN0 acceleration time of 4.8 seconds.
