BYD Leopard Bao 5
Why this model
What makes the Bao 5 worth importing
Body-on-frame with three differential locks
A ladder chassis, three locking differentials, 35-degree approach and 32-degree departure angles. This is genuine off-road hardware, not styling — it is built to do what a Land Cruiser does.
505 kW from a plug-in hybrid off-roader
687 horsepower and 760 Nm, reaching 100 km/h in 4.8 seconds while weighing three tonnes. No conventional diesel off-roader comes close.
Already exported to five markets
Brazil, the Philippines, the UAE, Australia and New Zealand. Australian and New Zealand cars are sold as the Denza B5 with a 400 kW tune.
1,200 km combined range
125 km on electricity plus a petrol engine. An off-road vehicle that runs a working week on battery power and still crosses a desert.
Specifications
Bao 5 technical data
Manufacturer figures for the China-market car. Equipment and certification vary by trim, production batch and destination — we confirm the exact build sheet before the order is placed.

A dash means the manufacturer does not publish that figure for this version — we do not estimate it. Range standards differ: CLTC and NEDC read higher than WLTP for the same car, so compare like with like when quoting against a European rival.

About this model
Where the Bao 5 sits in the market
The Bao 5 is the first model from Fang Cheng Bao, BYD's off-road sub-brand — a 4,890 mm body-on-frame SUV on a 2,800 mm wheelbase with three differential locks and a 35-degree approach angle. Its DMO plug-in hybrid drivetrain pairs a 1.5-litre turbo with two motors for 505 kW and 760 Nm in China specification, reaching 100 km/h in 4.8 seconds despite weighing three tonnes, with 125 km of electric range and 1,200 km CLTC combined.
It is a serious off-road vehicle rather than a styling exercise, and it is already exported to Brazil, the Philippines, the UAE, Australia and New Zealand — with Australian and New Zealand cars badged as the Denza B5 and detuned to 400 kW. For an importer that existing certification across several regions is a substantial head start, particularly the Gulf and Latin American routes.
Exported to Australia and New Zealand as the Denza B5 with a lower 400 kW output. A Long Range version with a 47.8 kWh Blade pack and 210 km CLTC electric range was added in 2025.
Before you order
What an importer must know about the Bao 5
Both LHD and RHD exist in practice — Australia and New Zealand take right-hand-drive units badged Denza B5. Note the power difference: China cars produce 505 kW while Australian and New Zealand specification is 400 kW, so quote the correct figure for the destination build. Confirmed export markets are Brazil, the Philippines, the UAE, Australia and New Zealand. Kerb weight of about three tonnes affects driving-licence categories and road tax in some markets — check before ordering. Charging is GB/T on China-market cars.
Market fit
Where the Bao 5 sells
Based on documented export presence and how the vehicle suits local conditions — not a guarantee of homologation, which we confirm per market before you order.
Middle East
The UAE is a confirmed market; desert off-roading is a mainstream pursuit in the Gulf and buyers there want capability with performance.
Latin America
Brazil is a confirmed market, and body-on-frame off-roaders serve agricultural and rural transport across the region.
Australia and New Zealand
Confirmed markets selling it as the Denza B5, with off-road capability that matches local expectations.
Central Asia
Rough roads and long distances where the plug-in hybrid's 1,200 km total range and four-wheel drive both matter.
