A smaller Fang Cheng Bao SUV appears in testing

The Ti 6 was photographed on Chinese roads under camouflage, 194 mm shorter than the Ti 7 and carrying a roof-mounted lidar. No powertrain, price or date.

The Ti 6 against the Ti 7, on the only figures published. −194 mm shorter −35 mm narrower +15 mm taller 780 L boot Powertrain, price and launch date are all unpublished.

This is a spy photograph, and it is included as one. A camouflaged Fang Cheng Bao Ti 6 was photographed during road testing in China, positioned below the Ti 7, which is that brand’s best-seller at home.

Affected#

Nobody. There is no launch, no market and no specification. It is here because a test mule with a roof lidar is a statement about where BYD is putting sensors, and because the Ti 7 above it sells well enough that a cheaper sibling is a business decision worth watching.

Confirmed#

Only what is visible or measured:

Ti 6 Against the Ti 7
Length 4,805 mm 194 mm shorter
Width 1,960 mm 35 mm narrower
Height 1,880 mm 15 mm higher
Wheelbase 2,810 mm —
Boot 780 litres —

The car wore heavy camouflage, L-shaped daytime running lights and a roof-mounted lidar. It will be sold in China below the Ti 7.

Unconfirmed#

Almost everything, and this is the honest shape of a sighting:

  • The powertrain. Nothing is known. The Ti 7 is offered as a 1.5-litre plug-in hybrid with a 115 kW engine and as an electric car with 92 to 105.7 kWh and 300 to 515 kW, and the Ti 6 may share none of that.
  • Price and launch date. Neither has been published. “Soon” is the extent of the reporting.
  • Any market outside China. Fang Cheng Bao is not sold in Europe or Morocco. Speculation that it could broaden BYD’s global range is the source’s, not BYD’s.
  • The dimensions themselves. They come from the report, not from a homologation filing we have read.
