The so-called “Super Hybrid Off-Road SUV” is the first model in the Chinese manufacturer’s new Fang Cheng Bao sub-brand.
Billed as a “Super Hybrid Off-Road SUV,” the new Bao 5 features the brand’s Dual-Mode Off-Road (DMO) Super Hybrid Platform: a ladder frame chassis that incorporates both a Xiaoyun gasoline engine at the front and a Blade battery pack nestled between the steel rails, making good use of the cell-to-chassis (CTC) tech which BYD says not only ensures battery safety during extreme off-road scenarios but also significantly boosts overall vehicle safety.
