At the Beijing Auto Show in April 2024, BYD revealed the Tai 3's design by introducing the Fangchengbao Super 3 concept car.{{Cite web |last=Andrews |first=Mark |date=2024-04-19 |title=Fang Cheng Bao Bao 8 to go on sale Q3 priced around 500,000 yuan |url=https://carnewschina.com/2024/04/19/fang-cheng-bao-bao-8-to-go-on-sale-q3-priced-around-500000-yuan/ |access-date=2024-10-13 |website=CarNewsChina.com |language=en-US}} The production version was announced by a set of images, labeled as "No. 3".{{Cite web |last=Bobylev |first=Denis |date=2024-07-11 |title=Europe-bound BYD Fang Cheng Bao Bao 3 revealed range specs |url=https://carnewschina.com/2024/07/11/europe-bound-byds-fang-cheng-bao-bao-3-revealed-battery-range-specs/ |access-date=2025-03-31 |website=CarNewsChina.com |language=en-US}} Pre-orders were opened on 31 March 2025.
The Tai 3 is available in five variants, two of which are rear-wheel drive (RWD) models and three are four-wheel drive (4WD) versions. The two RWD models are called Pro and Max, with the latter having luxury features such as front seat heating, 50 W wireless charging, double-glazed windows, and {{cvt|15.6|in|cm|adj=on}} infotainment display ({{cvt|12.8|in|cm|disp=or}} for the Pro version), rain-sensing wipers, and automatic glare-dimming rearview mirror (manual in the Pro version). The 4WD models are called Max and Ultra, with the latter having DiSUS-C proactively adaptive suspension, beverage refrigerator/heater, automatic front trunk lock and additional stereo speakers (14 vs. 8).
The fifth version is a 4WD Ultra with a roof rack-mounted drone system from DJI named Lingyuan ({{lang|zh|灵鸢}}), which consists of a box hangar that enables dynamic and automatic vertical take-off and landing, fast charging, and AI-assisted photography for a DJI Air 3S drone. The interior also includes a 12-inch head-up display, a refrigerator with adjustable temperatures (-6°C to 6°C and 35°C to 50°C), Devialet audio, and a karaoke microphone. It comes standard with BYD's advanced driver assistance system marketed as God's Eye C and DiPilot 100, which includes high-speed navigation, automatic parking, and active obstacle avoidance.
An iTAC intelligent torque control system adjusts torque distribution between the front and rear axles, while the iATS intelligent all-terrain recognition system automatically adjusts driving modes for different terrains, including snow, sand, mud and mountains.{{Cite web |date=2025-03-31 |title=【图】配备无人机/一键漂移模式！方程豹钛3预售13.98万起 将于4月上市_汽车之家 |trans-title=Equipped with drone/one-button drift mode!
