BYD is preparing to launch the Fang Cheng Bao Ti 9, a full-size six-seat plug-in hybrid SUV, in China on November 19, Interesting Engineering reports. The model combines two electric motors, a 66.48 kWh Blade Battery and a flash-charging system. BYD says the system takes the battery from 10 percent to 97 percent in nine minutes. [1] The launch comes ahead of the model's public appearance at the 2026 Guangzhou Auto Show. [1]

Fang Cheng Bao general manager Xiong Tianbo said earlier that display vehicles had reached 21 dealerships across 12 cities, with deliveries underway in another 20 cities. Reservations opened earlier in November. A Ti 9 also rolled off BYD's Xi'an production line as the company's 19 millionth new energy vehicle. [1]

## Powertrain and range

The Ti 9 uses BYD's sixth-generation DM-i plug-in hybrid system. It pairs a 1.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine producing 154 hp with two permanent magnet synchronous electric motors. Each motor is rated at 268 hp, giving a combined peak electric output of 536 hp. [1]

Energy comes from a 66.48 kWh second-generation lithium iron phosphate Blade Battery. BYD claims an all-electric range of 193 miles on the WLTC cycle. With a full battery and a full fuel tank, the claimed combined range is 1,013 miles on China's CLTC cycle. [1] The estimated WLTP equivalent is about 808 to 861 miles, and real-world range depends on driving conditions and vehicle configuration. With the battery depleted, fuel consumption is rated at 36.8 mpg on the WLTC cycle. [1]

## Flash charging

BYD claims the system charges the battery from 10 percent to 70 percent in five minutes and to 97 percent in nine minutes. [1] The company also says it can charge from 20 percent to 97 percent in 12 minutes at temperatures as low as minus 22 degrees Fahrenheit. Low temperatures typically reduce battery charging performance and lengthen charging times. [1]

BYD has not disclosed the peak charging power, the charging infrastructure needed to reach the stated times, or the conditions under which the figures were recorded. [1]
