In a market where electric innovation is accelerating rapidly, BYD’s sub brand Fangchengbao is stepping into the spotlight with a bold new release. The upcoming T3 electric SUV is not just another addition to the EV landscape. Slated for pre orders starting March 31, this mid size SUV combines futuristic design with immersive tech, bringing together adventure ready features, practical luxury, and next level connectivity to challenge everything we know about modern electric vehicles.

Design That Commands Attention

The T3’s styling breaks away from conventional design, clearly drawing inspiration from sci-fi and futuristic aesthetics. Its blacked out closed front grille and horizontally aligned LED daytime running lights give it a distinctive look that instantly sets it apart. Sized for versatility, the T3 measures 4605 millimeters in length, 1900 millimeters in width, and 1930 millimeters in height for the drone equipped version, making it a flexible companion whether navigating tight urban streets or heading out for a desert camping weekend.

Its 19 inch matte black wheels and flush mounted door handles that extend automatically give the SUV a clean and high tech appeal. Around the back, a side opening tailgate houses a small 28 liter utility box, ideal for storing tools or outdoor gear, and opens at the touch of a button for quick access.

Smart Cabin with Adventure in Mind

Step inside the T3 and the futuristic experience continues. A digital driver display sits neatly behind the steering wheel, while the centerpiece is a massive 15.6 inch central touchscreen paired with a 12 inch head up display. Beyond just screens, the T3 introduces unique touches like a dedicated karaoke mode with an integrated wireless mic, and a handheld flashlight with three lighting modes, perfect for camping or emergencies.

Passengers enjoy heated and ventilated leather seats and can even set the temperature of a built in fridge that cools down to minus 6 degrees Celsius or heats up to 50, making road trips more enjoyable and comfortable than ever. The combination of comfort and entertainment transforms every drive into a refined, fun experience.

Adventure Ready Storage and Spacious Flexibility

The Fangchengbao T3 doesn’t just look adventurous, it’s built for it. Under the hood, a 151 liter front trunk adds rare utility, especially for an all wheel drive dual motor SUV. This electric front compartment opens via an electric button and includes adjustable height settings, making it perfect for camping gear or even as a makeshift seat during breaks.

At the rear, the T3’s side opening tailgate makes roadside access easier and reveals a multi use cargo space designed for flexibility. The SUV also includes a 220 volt outlet, ideal for powering appliances or gadgets while off grid.

Inside, rear passengers benefit from a wheelbase of 2745 millimeters that provides generous legroom and headspace. Leather seats, headrests, dedicated air vents, and USB ports all contribute to long ride comfort.

Performance Meets Intelligence

Underneath its sleek shell, the T3 delivers serious muscle. With dual electric motors generating a total output of 310 kilowatts, or roughly 416 horsepower, the SUV can accelerate from zero to 100 kilometers per hour in just 4.9 seconds and reach a top speed of 201 kilometers per hour. It also features the Cloud Chariot C smart suspension system that adapts to road conditions in real time, providing a smooth and responsive ride.

Intelligent torque control via iTAC, automatic terrain detection through iATS, and the TSS safety system keep the vehicle stable even in the event of a tire blowout. The T3 also features the God Eye C intelligent driving suite with 29 onboard sensors, including radars and surround cameras. These power features are like autonomous driving, self parking, and smart navigation.

A Skyward Journey: Drone Technology Like Never Before

One of the T3’s most groundbreaking features is its integrated drone system, co developed by BYD and DJI and known as "Ling Yuan." This system includes a dedicated AIR 3S drone, a rooftop launch pad, a 4K camera, a dual mode controller, and a fully integrated app accessible through the vehicle’s infotainment screen.

With a single tap, the drone takes off in under 30 seconds. It can hover steadily or follow the vehicle at speeds up to 40 kilometers per hour, offering panoramic views or real time tracking. Drivers can also manually control the drone outside the car using the handheld controller and seamlessly transfer captured footage directly to their phone or share it online.

The drone’s storage bay is weather resistant except in cases of heavy rain or snow. It includes 64 gigabytes of internal memory with expandable storage options, and its swappable batteries ensure uninterrupted operation.

A Different Kind of SUV Spirit

The Fangchengbao T3 brings together bold styling, immersive entertainment, and high tech intelligence in a way that speaks directly to drivers craving something new and distinct. It is built not just for practicality but for those who view driving as an extension of their lifestyle.

While the market offers more conventional or budget friendly alternatives, the T3 appeals to those who want to merge innovation with identity. From its smart interior and responsive handling to the airborne companion on its roof, this SUV is far more than a vehicle. It’s a road trip partner in every sense of the word.

With an expected price of around 200,000 yuan or roughly 101,104 AED, the T3 is shaping up to be a head turner and a trendsetter in redefining smart mobility for 2025.
