The Fangchengbao Tai 7 (Chinese: 方程豹 钛7; lit. 'Formula leopard Titanium 7') is a plug-in hybrid full-size SUV manufactured by BYD Auto under the Fangchengbao brand. It is the second vehicle under the Tai series of the Fangchengbao brand.

Overview

The Tai 7 is a large, plug-in hybrid SUV with styling cues taken from the Fangchengbao Bao 5. The name was revealed in June of 2025. Specifications were released by the MIIT not long after.

Design

The Tai 7 uses a high bonnet line, a boxy form factor (similar to that of the Bao 5), a small grille, large bumpers, rectangular headlights, and a swing-out tailgate with a storage box.

Carscoops has stated that the Tai 7's design bears resemblance to the L663 Land Rover Defender.

Features

Spyshots of the Tai 7 have shown a large central touchscreen in the interior alongside a column-mounted gear shifter. A LiDAR system will also come with the Tai 7. The Tai 7 will also come with a D-shaped four-spoke steering wheel as well as a power outlet in the back of the interior and a large sunroof.

Powertrain

The Tai 7 will come with options for either single-motor or dual-motor powertrains, both paired with a 1.5 liter turbocharged inline 4 producing 154 horsepower. The rear motor, which is used on all versions, codenamed TZ200XSBN, has a power output of 268 horsepower. The optional front motor, codenamed TZ210XYC, produces 215 horsepower.

It was not specified if the rear-motor-only version is all-wheel-drive. (The Tai 7 doesn't use an EREV powetrain.)

All versions use LFP batteries made by BYD's battery subsidiary FinDreams with lower-priced versions using the 26.6 kWh battery and higher-priced versions using the 35.5 kWh. The all-electric range goes from 100 to 130 kilometers (62 to 81 miles) with the total range yet to be determined.
