BYD’s Fang Cheng Bao brand has officially launched its new Formula S and Formula S GT electric models in China. The two vehicles were launched on September 16, 2026, expanding Fang Cheng Bao’s lineup into the electric sports sedan segment. The Formula S is offered as a fastback sedan, while the Formula S GT adopts a shooting-brake body style.
Price and Variants
The Formula S is priced from 189,900 yuan to 229,900 yuan in China. The Formula S GT is positioned slightly higher, with prices ranging from 219,900 yuan to 239,900 yuan. The final prices are lower than the earlier pre-sale range of 230,000 yuan to 280,000 yuan.
The Formula S is available in rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive configurations. Depending on the variant, the model offers CLTC driving ranges of up to 900 km. The Formula S GT offers a maximum CLTC range of 850 km.
Sporty Exterior Design
The new electric cars follow Fang Cheng Bao’s “Vitality Metal Aesthetic” design language, which was inspired by the brand’s Formula X sports car. Both models feature a low and streamlined body with sporty proportions.
The Formula S measures 5,060 mm in length, 1,967 mm in width and 1,483 mm in height, with a 2,960 mm wheelbase. The Formula S GT has a similar width and wheelbase but uses a shooting-brake design that provides a more practical rear section.
Aerodynamics are also an important part of the design. The Formula S has a claimed drag coefficient of 0.22 Cd, while the Formula S GT has a 0.25 Cd rating. The cars feature distinctive headlights, aerodynamic air channels and a sporty rear design.
Powerful Electric Performance
The Formula S lineup offers both rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive versions. The single-motor variants are available with outputs of up to 300 kW, while the dual-motor all-wheel-drive configuration produces a combined 490 kW. The Formula S can reach a claimed 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 3.6 seconds in its performance configuration.
The vehicles use lithium iron phosphate batteries and are available with different battery capacities depending on the variant. The Formula S offers several range configurations, including versions rated for 730 km, 750 km, 770 km, 830 km and 900 km under the CLTC testing cycle.
Advanced Suspension Technology
One of the key technologies introduced with the new models is BYD’s DiSus-M intelligent magnetorheological suspension system. The system is designed to adjust suspension characteristics according to driving conditions and help improve ride comfort and handling.
The Formula S series also supports fast charging technology, adding another practical feature for users who regularly travel long distances.
Interior and Technology
Inside, the Formula S and Formula S GT feature a modern cabin with a floating central display, integrated instrument screen and a three-spoke multifunction steering wheel. The cars also use sporty seats and a column-mounted gear selector.

The lineup also introduces BYD’s Smart Ecology 2.0 system, which is designed to provide a more customizable vehicle interior.
