Zhongfang RV, built on the BYD T5DM dedicated chassis, is a plug-in extended-range hybrid RV-a fusion of mechanics and art, and a dialogue between intelligence and nature. Based on the BYD DM super-hybrid system, all-aluminum body technology, and intelligent configuration, this RV redefines the boundaries of a "mobile home" with its 1000km combined range, all-scenario energy replenishment, and humanized space design. Those interested in this RV can visit the RVCat Mall (Chengdu Trading Center) from September 19th to 21st, 2025, to participate in the Chengdu RV Exhibition hosted by RVCat and experience it up close. The vehicle
features a low-drag streamlined design, with a dark gray body that exudes a sense of technology in its simplicity. The roof is equipped with a liftable extension compartment, increasing vertical space while maintaining driving stability; the sides integrate multiple outward-opening windows and storage compartments, catering to both lighting and storage needs. The rear has pre-installed interfaces for motorcycle and bicycle racks to meet the needs of carrying outdoor equipment, showcasing the practicality of all-scenario travel living.
One of the biggest highlights is the gull-wing viewing window installed on the side of the vehicle: when unfolded, it forms a 1.2-meter-wide viewing platform. Combined with mosquito netting and sunshades, it allows ample natural light in and serves as an interactive space between the interior and exterior, providing direct contact with nature when parked. The rear features an electric awning and LED lighting system, instantly transforming the vehicle into an outdoor living room for nighttime camping. Furthermore, a hidden side extension panel can be extended into a kitchen countertop, connecting with the interior kitchen area to improve cooking efficiency.
Based on a deeply modified BYD T5DM chassis, it features a 6.5-ton load-bearing reinforced design to support the expanded space and heavy-duty equipment requirements. The front double wishbone independent suspension and rear air suspension combination, tuned by European experts, offers excellent vibration damping performance. Combined with the BSC braking system, it maintains stability even on rugged mountain roads. The powertrain features a 1.5T high-efficiency hybrid engine and a blade battery, achieving a thermal efficiency of 41% and a power generation efficiency of 93.2%. In range-extending mode, it intelligently starts generating electricity, completely eliminating range anxiety.
The interior features light wood trim and off-white soft upholstery, complemented by warm yellow ambient lighting to create a cozy, homey atmosphere. The living area utilizes a booth seating arrangement with a height-adjustable table, and a gull-wing viewing window on the side, forming a multi-functional space for "viewing, dining, and working." Hidden storage compartments and a fresh air system are located in the ceiling to maintain air quality. The entire vehicle uses environmentally friendly E0-grade boards, which are antibacterial and moisture-proof, ensuring a healthy environment for long-term travel.
The rest area features two 2100mm x 1300mm double beds, with outward-opening windows on both sides. Waking up to mountain views and sleeping under the stars at night, one can enjoy a private, tranquil space by drawing the privacy curtains. Underneath the beds is a north-south through-type storage space with a volume of 1.2 cubic meters, easily accommodating luggage, clothing, and outdoor gear. Hidden overhead cabinets and USB charging ports on the sides of the beds further optimize storage and power convenience.
The kitchen area is equipped with a Mars Coolpad integrated stove, which can complete the entire process of frying, stir-frying, steaming, and grilling in 30 minutes. Precise temperature control technology ensures crispy chicken wings and tender, flavorful steamed fish. A concealed sink and Indel dual-temperature-controlled refrigerators (total capacity 152L) form a closed loop of "food storage-cleaning-cooking," and the extension panel at the door can be used as a food preparation area. In addition, a gas interface is provided outside the vehicle for outdoor barbecues, meeting diverse dietary needs.
Besides the master bedroom's double bed, the living area's height-adjustable table can be lowered to form a temporary bed (1800mm×1000mm) with the booth seating, suitable for children or single occupants. All mattresses use high-density foam and individually pocketed springs to conform to the body's curves and alleviate fatigue on long journeys. Bedside reading lights and USB charging ports meet the needs of nighttime reading and device charging.
The bathroom features an all-aluminum protective structure that is antibacterial and colorfast. The rotating pull-out toilet saves space, and the washbasin and shower are integrated into a three-in-one design. Combined with wood-grain flooring and a stainless steel dual-floor drain system for efficient drainage, it remains dry even in humid environments. An integrated two-way ventilation fan and heater in the ceiling quickly remove odors and moisture, demonstrating thoughtful attention to detail.
The electrical system is equipped with a 55.3kWh blade battery + 48V 440Ah lithium iron phosphate energy storage, supporting a 6000W inverter and a 1200W solar panel (rigid design, raised halfway for heat dissipation, bi-sided power generation), capable of simultaneously running high-power appliances such as air conditioners and induction cookers. Heating and cooling are controlled by a Mitsubishi 1.5P DC inverter air conditioner. The water system features a 220L fresh water tank and a 70L grey water tank, along with a smart water pump and water level sensor to monitor water usage in real time.
The Zhongfang BYD plug-in extended-range hybrid motorhome, centered around the BYD DM super hybrid system, integrates intelligent configurations, user-friendly design, and all-scenario energy management, redefining the possibilities of a mobile home. From its 1000km combined range to the comfort of a Mars integrated stove, from the poetic view through the gull-wing windows to the meticulous craftsmanship of its all-aluminum bathroom, it's not just a vehicle, but a mobile space embodying freedom, comfort, and a spirit of exploration. If you're interested in this motorhome, you can visit the Chengdu International RV Show from September 19-21, 2025, at the Chengdu International Trade City RV Cat Mall.
