On April 16, at the spring launch of the Formula Leopard brand, the production version of the Formula Leopard Leopard 8, the Leopard 3 concept car and the Leopard 9 were officially unveiled. Among them, the Leopard 8 and Leopard 3, combined with the Leopard 5 models that have been launched, have officially formed the "583" hard-core family, which are respectively positioned as individual beasts, flagship peaks, and trendy play experts, all based on the BYD DMO super hybrid off-road platform. It is reported that the Leopard 8 and Leopard 3 will officially meet everyone at the Beijing Auto Show.

Production version of the Leopard 8

Specifically, looking at the model part, the Leopard 8 is positioned as a large SUV and belongs to the flagship model of the Formula Leopard family. In terms of appearance, it adopts a new design style, which is officially called "Future Starship Aesthetics", with a large size of the grid grille with a through-type LED light strip, which looks like it has a high sense of power. Of course, as a flagship SUV model, the Leopard 8 also forms a clear difference from other models, highlighting its own recognition.

In terms of other details, the new car will be equipped with LiDAR, which can bring excellent driver assistance features, and the roof rack, wheel arches, rearview mirrors and other positions will also be blacked, and the overall look will be a little younger.

In addition, the interior of the new car will adopt a three-row seat layout, equipped with a DMO super hybrid off-road platform, with a maximum power of more than 500kW and a fuel consumption of 7.8L/100km per 100km, and will be equipped with CTC battery-chassis integration technology and Yunnan-P chassis system.

Leopard 3 concept

After looking at the eldest brother in the family, let's take a look at the Leopard 3 model as an entry. The car is officially called SUPER 3 and is positioned as a mid-size SUV, but unlike the two big brothers, the car will use a pure electric system.

Similarly, the design of the new car can be seen to be very different, compared to the family members, the design of the Leopard 3 is very individual, the inward narrowing of the front face, the outward expansion of the wheel arches and the sharp muscle line, all give the new car a very combative atmosphere. According to the official statement, this is a mecha style with Star Wars armor.

At the same time, the raised suspension design, roof racks, large spoilers, external spare tires, etc., all appear on the new body, and like electronic mirrors, hidden door handles, etc., also appear at the same time, and are also equipped with on-board drone systems, which is like bringing together the elements that young users like, or giving people a very personal feeling. It is worth mentioning that the new car adopts the design of short front and rear overhangs, which means that its passability will have a good performance.

Leopard 9 concept

At the press conference, Equation Leopard also brought us a surprise, that is, the appearance of the Leopard 9 at the same time. The new car is named SUPER 9 in English, positioned as a pure electric sports car, and is a sports car in the Speedster category, designed and built by BYD's chief designer Egger.

The exterior design of the new car can be clearly seen to be sporty-oriented, with the iconic "Leopard Eye" headlights with raised fenders and an opening under the bumper, which is very much in line with the user's aesthetic for a sports sports car. But the most bright spot is that the car is equipped with a suspended double-wing butterfly door, which is directly full in terms of visual effect.

At the same time, the new car is equipped with large brake discs and red calipers, as well as 9-spoke wheels with central locking, giving the car a sportier look and echoing the name of the SUPER 9.

As for the interior, it is also very interesting, with a "space cockpit" as the main design tone, with a double cab and an open roof design. At the same time, the instrument panel area adopts an innovative mechanical hollow structure called "carbon fiber matrix skeleton", and is equipped with carbon fiber integrated seats, carbon fiber steering wheel, etc., which has excellent performance in terms of design mechanics, lightweight and visual effects.

The editor said: The press conference of Formula Leopard can be described as a "magnifying move", whether it is a flagship SUV, an entry-level model, or a sports car full of surprises, it has shown a very strong sincerity and product power. In particular, the Leopard 3 and Leopard 8 form a good product matrix with the Leopard 5, and even if it is an entry-level model, its starting point is a hard-core mid-size SUV, and the overall starting point and advantages are much better than other brands. As the brand's first model, the Leopard 5 has been favored by the market since its launch, and the pressure will be on the other two to see whether it can continue the success of the existing model, or even further surpass.
