Revolutionary Yunlian-P Ultra Smart Hydraulic Suspension
3-Minute Tire Change Without Jack
In case of tire puncture, drivers no longer need a jack. The system independently controls the hydraulic suspension to lift the wheel. With the industry’s largest wheel-lifting height of 300mm, actual tests achieved tire replacement in as fast as 1 minute. This technology eliminates the need for traditional tire changing tools entirely.
Three-Wheel Driving Mode (Triangular Balance)
When a single wheel punctures, the system can lift the damaged tire, allowing the vehicle to maintain low-speed balanced driving on just three wheels. This unique capability provides an extra layer of safety for off-road adventures, ensuring drivers can safely maneuver to the nearest repair facility even after a puncture.
9-Ton Lifting Capacity
The system delivers the industry’s largest lifting capacity of 9 tons, enabling the vehicle to lift on slopes up to 45 degrees. This feature is invaluable for off-road scenarios where tire changes or vehicle stabilization are needed on uneven terrain.

A New Era for Off-Road Electric Vehicles
The launch of the FangChengBao Bao 8 and Bao 5 Flash Charge versions marks a significant milestone in the evolution of off-road electric vehicles. The integration of BYD’s DMO platform with Huawei’s advanced intelligent driving system, combined with the revolutionary Yunlian-P Ultra hydraulic suspension, sets new standards for the industry. These models demonstrate that electric vehicles can offer not only environmental benefits but also unprecedented capabilities that surpass traditional internal combustion engine vehicles in critical areas like tire change assistance and off-road performance.
Why It Matters Globally
The FangChengBao Bao 8 and Bao 5 Flash Charge launch demonstrates how Chinese automakers are moving beyond value-for-money positioning and into genuine technical differentiation. The Yunlian-P Ultra hydraulic suspension system — with its 3-minute jack-free tire change, three-wheel driving capability, and 9-ton lifting capacity — is a first in the global off-road segment. It shows that BYD is not just electrifying existing vehicle categories but creating new capabilities that internal-combustion off-roaders cannot match. Combined with Huawei’s QianKun ADS Max 4.1.5 intelligent driving system and dual LiDAR sensors, these vehicles signal that Chinese premium off-road brands are building a technology moat that extends beyond battery and powertrain. For global off-road competitors like Land Rover, Toyota Land Cruiser, and Mercedes G-Class, the FangChengBao lineup introduces a new dimension of competition: electrification as an enabler of mechanical capabilities rather than just a powertrain alternative.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Bao 8 Flash Charge change a tire in 3 minutes?
The Yunlian-P Ultra smart hydraulic suspension can independently control each wheel’s hydraulic cylinder to lift a punctured tire off the ground. With a lifting height of up to 300mm, the driver can replace the tire without using a jack. In real-world tests, the process was completed in as little as 1 minute.
What is the three-wheel driving mode on the FangChengBao models?
When one tire is punctured, the suspension system can lift the damaged wheel entirely off the ground. The remaining three wheels provide enough stability for the vehicle to continue driving at low speeds, allowing the driver to reach a repair facility safely — a capability unique to the Yunlian-P Ultra system.
What is the price of the 2026 FangChengBao Bao 8 and Bao 5?
Bao 8 Flash Charge starts at 416,800 yuan (approximately $57,900), with a limited-time price of 409,800 yuan. Bao 5 Yunlian Flash Charge starts at 305,800 yuan (approximately $42,500), with a limited-time price of 299,800 yuan. An entry-level Bao 5 210KM TianShen Max starts from 259,800 yuan (approximately $36,000).
What intelligent driving system do these vehicles use?
Both the Bao 8 Flash Charge and Bao 5 Yunlian Flash Charge feature Huawei QianKun ADS Max V4.1.5, equipped with front and rear dual LiDAR sensors. The system supports city navigation assistance (NOA), highway pilot, and advanced parking capabilities.
