The Ti9 will try to repeat the success of the smaller Ti7 crossover. Fang Cheng Bao (FCB) was initially created in China as an off-road brand to act as BYD’s answer to GWM’s Tank. Its model line initially included plug-in hybrid body-on-frame SUVs Bao 5 and Bao 8. However, this brand made a transition to other segments to ramp up the sales volume. Its current bestseller is the Ti7 monocoque crossover, which delivered 94,417 units in H1 2026 (China EV DataTacker data), becoming one of the bestselling models under the BYD umbrella.

It was reported that this car adopts a 3.1-meter wheelbase. The FCB Ti9 offers a short front overhang, large wheels, semi-hidden door handles, power side steps, and a LiDAR sensor on the roof. In early July, interior photos of the Ti9 were exposed with a large screen and an LCD instrument cluster in the dashboard. The car’s gear shifter hides behind a four-spoke D-shaped steering wheel. A cheaper trim level of this car with a smaller screen was also seen in China during road tests. Its center tunnel adopts a pair of cup holders, a hidden compartment, and a block of physical controls. The BYD FCB Ti9 interior.

This flagship adopts pronounced fenders, a slightly sloped roofline, a large roof spoiler, and slanted A-pillars. As mentioned, FCB added that the Ti9 “won’t be long to come.” There is a chance this model will break cover simultaneously with the FCB Formula S sedan and the Formula S GT station wagon. The mentioned models were listed by the Chinese MIIT, revealing up to 900 km of range. There is no official information about the Ti9’s specs. This model can potentially share the powertrain options with the smaller Ti7. The latter model is available as a PHEV and BEV. The all-wheel-drive variant of the Ti7 PHEV offers a 1.5-liter ICE paired with two e-motors for 360 kW (483 hp). The FCB Ti7 BEV with a dual-motor AWD offers 515 kW (691 hp) of power. It is worth noting that Fang Cheng Bao is a China-exclusive brand. However, its models reach foreign markets under other brands. For example, the FCB Bao 5 and the FCB Bao 8 are being sold overseas as Denza B5 and Denza B8. And the FCB Ti7 is being marketed globally under the BYD Ti7 name. Therefore, CarNewsChina expects the FCB Ti9 to enter global markets as the BYD Ti9 after its domestic rollout. Most important news in your inbox. Recaps · scheduled All you need, in one email.
