Inside BYD’s Titanium 3: How China’s Hottest EV is Made in Xi’an

The BYD Fangchengbao Titanium 3 is more than just another electric vehicle—it is the result of years of planning, vertical integration, and advanced manufacturing at BYD’s Xi’an facility. This compact electric crossover was designed for families looking for a balance of practicality, performance, and technology, and its story begins with BYD’s decision to build it on the Evo+ platform. That platform allowed engineers to package rear-wheel drive and dual-motor all-wheel drive systems into a body that fits urban driving as easily as long road trips.

At the heart of the Titanium 3 is BYD’s Blade battery, available in three capacities: 65.28 kWh, 72.96 kWh, and 78.72 kWh. Depending on the version, the vehicle can deliver up to 501 kilometers of range on the CLTC cycle. Charging performance is equally impressive, with a maximum rate of 237 kW that allows the battery to go from 30 to 80 percent in around 18 minutes. This is paired with BYD’s advanced driver assistance suite, called God’s Eye C with DiPilot 100, which gives the Titanium 3 a strong edge in safety and convenience.

What makes this vehicle special is how it comes to life inside the Xi’an factory. This massive site is BYD’s largest production hub, with the ability to assemble more than 1 million vehicles each year. Highly automated lines handle stamping, welding, and painting before the cars are guided by automated guided vehicles through final assembly. The Blade batteries are built in-house and then installed into the chassis during the “marriage” process, when body and powertrain become one. Quality checks include roller-dyno testing, alignment, brake calibration, and final software installation for systems like iTAC torque control and iATS terrain recognition.

The Xi’an factory shows BYD’s philosophy of vertical integration at work. Not only are the batteries and e-axles made under the same roof, but power semiconductors and software calibration are also controlled internally. This ensures efficiency, reduces costs, and shortens production time. It is this approach that allowed BYD to bring the Titanium 3 to market quickly while offering competitive pricing.

In the end, the Titanium 3 represents both modern electric mobility and the future of intelligent vehicle manufacturing. It is a vehicle born from precision, automation, and a commitment to making advanced electric cars accessible.
