This is our gift to BYD's 30th anniversary of development, and a gift to the brilliant glory of Chinese automakers!"
The product matrix of Formula Leopard includes the "583" hard family composed of Leopard 5, Leopard 8 and Leopard 3, as well as the sports car SUPER 9, which is the initial implementation of the "2+X" product system in Formula Leopard's planning ("2" refers to hard-core SUVs and sports cars, and "X" refers to more other car categories that Formula Leopard will solve together with users).
The Leopard 5 represents the optimal solution for new energy off-road, and is the dream of both life and distance. Since its launch in November 2023, the Leopard 5 has delivered nearly 20,000 units, ranking first in China's new energy girder hardcore SUV for three consecutive months, setting a new benchmark for new energy off-road.
Leopard 8, born from the previously released concept car SUPER 8, is an in-depth solution to the hard-core flagship, with the "future starship" aesthetics to gather the essence of the science fiction universe, creating a very futuristic, powerful and majestic flagship benchmark, becoming a dream of self and family beautiful advancement.
SUPER 3 is the concept car of Leopard 3, based on the inspiration of "interstellar chariot", with simple, exaggerated and three-dimensional lines to create a sculptural metal body structure, and in the clean and neat posture of constantly jumping out of the colorful personality elements, forming a flamboyant personality expression, is the Equation Leopard's bold solution to the flexible personality, but also the dream of freedom and the pursuit of infinite soaring.
SUPER 9 is the ultimate solution to performance aesthetics, and the dream of the ultimate fusion of speed and art. As a professional sports car in the Speedster category, the SUPER 9 adopts a "space cockpit" style double cab and an open roof design, outlining up to 9 air ducts with a curve that is "like a flying dragon and graceful like a dragon". The ultimate art of resisting the wind is a model of high-performance sports cars in the new energy era.
Relying on BYD's deep accumulation in the field of new energy, the Leopard 5 has created an exclusive series-parallel architecture based on electricity, and the industry's first CTC battery-chassis integration technology and non-load-bearing flexible connection body design have realized the fuel consumption level and comfort of urban SUVs, and set a new benchmark for hard-core SUVs.
At the same time, the Leopard 5, as the strongest new energy SUV with the strongest discharge and energy supplement, gives users more possibilities to create a free surrounding life. Its industry's strongest 6kW discharge power, up to 20kW in-situ power generation capacity, and 31.8kW·h of power that comes with the original car create a solid foundation for users to use electricity freely in many outdoor lives such as camping and self-driving tours.
At the Beijing Auto Show in the near future, Formula Leopard will bring a strong landing of the product matrix and get in close contact with the public, which is worth looking forward to.
