Fangchengbao Bao 5

The Fangchengbao Bao 5 is one of 61 BYD Auto models in the MotorJury library, the catalogue that sets out to hold every car ever made — production, prototype and concept alike. The record places its introduction in 2023. The photography on this page is hotlinked from Wikimedia Commons under an open licence, with the photographer credited on every frame.

The era it was born into

To read the Fangchengbao Bao 5 properly it helps to place it in its decade. The 2020s were the current era, in which battery-electric platforms, software-defined cars and China's rise as the world's largest producer are rewriting a century of industry order. Any car launched into that world was shaped by it — by what materials, engineering and regulation allowed, and by what buyers of the day demanded. Its direct contemporaries in this catalogue, introduced within three years of it, include the Tesla Tesla Cybertruck, the Nissan Nissan Z, the Kia Kia EV6 — the cars a buyer of the period would actually have cross-shopped.

The numbers, read closely

On paper, the Fangchengbao Bao 5 reads like this: the record lists its engine as Petrol engine / Petrol plug-in hybrid: / 1.5 L BYD476ZQF Turbocharger / turbo Straight-four engine / I4; quoted output is 505 kW (China) / 400 kW (Australia, New Zealand); kerb weight is recorded at 2897 kg / 3007 mm (Leopard); drive goes through Single Speed DMO; the layout is Front-engine, dual-motor four-wheel-drive. Worked together, those figures give roughly 174 horsepower per tonne — the single number that says more about how a car actually moves than any of its parts alone. Every figure above is a manufacturer specification carried by the Wikipedia infobox or the open Wikidata record for this model — nothing on this page is estimated, and where a source is silent the row simply does not appear.

Its place in the BYD Auto story

Within BYD Auto's own catalogue the Fangchengbao Bao 5 sits alongside the BYD 8TT, the BYD Atto 2, the BYD Atto 3, the BYD D1. The record names the successor = as its predecessor and the sp = as its successor, fixing its place in the model line's chronology. Design is credited to Under the lead of Wolfgang Egger. Assembly is recorded at China: Shenzhen, Guangdong; Zhengzhou, Henan.

How this catalogue works

This library is generated, verified and rebuilt from the open record on every deploy. The catalogue skeleton comes from Wikidata, specifications from Wikipedia's infoboxes under CC BY-SA, photography from Wikimedia Commons under each file's own licence, and the ownership data from United States federal safety records. Nothing is written by hand and nothing is invented: every fact on this page traces to a public source, and every page is rebuilt nightly as those sources improve. Errors in the source record will appear here too — and disappear the night the source is corrected.

From catalogue to ownership

What this page cannot yet tell you is what the Fangchengbao Bao 5 costs to live with — that is a different dataset. MotorJury's ownership verdicts are computed from federal complaint and recall records plus EPA economy data, published per model year as the nightly ingest reaches each car. If this model was sold in the United States, its years will surface in the ownership database; browse it live or price any car yourself with the true-cost calculator.
