In order to pay tribute to the Asian flyer Su Bingtian, the guidance price of the J10 version of the Shadow Leopard was adjusted to 98,300 yuan. As one of the few sports cars of its own brand, Shadow Leopard has formed a strong competitive relationship with MG6PRO and Dongfeng Fengshen Yixuan MAX after its listing, and in this article we will conduct a static experience of Shadow Leopard to see what highlights it has.
Shadow Leopard focuses on sports positioning, as a sports car, the starting price of less than 100,000 yuan, for consumers, very attractive. The front face design of the shadow leopard is very radical and dynamic, which is very in line with the tastes of young consumers, the design of the front face is inspired by the fighter jet, and the bright yellow s logo is located in the upper left of the middle net, which further sets off the sports atmosphere.

Although it is a 100,000-class model, the shadow leopard is still equipped with an LED light source, and two sets of vertical light strips form daytime running lights and turn signals, which are shaped like the claws of a cheetah, which is very sharp.
The shape of the shadow leopard side is very "low lying", the body height and the front suspension are reduced and shortened as much as possible, of course, thanks to the 0.26Cd vehicle wind resistance coefficient. The vehicle has a length, width and height dimensions of 4700mm× 1850mm×1432mm, and a wheelbase of 2736mm.

The multi-function steering wheel is also equipped with a switch for exhaust sound waves, and the exhaust sound waves are not camouflaged by the sound, and the real exhaust is real.
Dual screen is a popular design element, although major manufacturers are using, but no one can escape the "true fragrance" conclusion. The Full LCD Instrument and The Central Control Screen are both 10.25 inches, with excellent display effect and high fluency.
