The Equation Leopard Spring Conference was held, the 5839 product lineup was unveiled, and the 2+X system has been implemented?

What are car companies paying attention to during this time? Naturally, it will be the Beijing Auto Show a week later.

As a result, all kinds of new cars began to warm up collectively, and Equation Leopard is a good example. At the spring press conference on April 16, the Equation Leopard "5839" lineup was fully unveiled.

At present, there is only one Leopard 5 model on sale in Formula Leopard, so what are the concerns of these new models of Formula Leopard at this press conference?

1, Leopard 8,

BYD

Another 8?

Looking up to the reputation of U8 needless to say, but BYD's other 8, the news of the Formula Leopard Leopard 8, has also been circulating on the Internet for several months, and at this press conference, the Leopard 8 finally made its global debut.

The Leopard 8 adopts a similar family-style design language as the Leopard 5, maintaining the square box shape, but the details of the grille have been adjusted, and the overall sense of grade is also stronger.

Like looking up to the U8, the Leopard 8 is also a large SUV, and it also adopts a three-row seat layout, and it will also be equipped with the Yunlin-P intelligent hydraulic body control system.

However, as a hard-core off-road vehicle, the Leopard 8 is equipped with a DMO super hybrid off-road platform, with a total system power of more than 505kW and a comprehensive fuel consumption of 7.8L per 100 kilometers.

More details about the Leopard 8, including the price, are expected to be officially unveiled during the Beijing Auto Show, and this launch event is more like a warm-up. Unlike looking up to the U8, the Leopard 8 puts more emphasis on off-road performance.

2. Leopard 3, not the entry-level version of Leopard 5?

The Leopard 5 currently on sale, the starting price has reached 289,800 yuan, this price makes many people feel expensive, so there were market rumors that the Leopard 3 will be a cheap version of the Leopard 5, but this time at the press conference, the debut of the SUPER 3 concept car proved that it has little to do with the Leopard 5.

The SUPER 3 is positioned as a mid-size SUV and is in line with the Leopard 5, but it has its own design features, abandoning the square box shape, making the front face line and headlight shape more exaggerated, and also equipped with an interactive display inside the grille.

The side shape of the SUPER 3 body is also more recognizable, with a smooth roof line, and the shape of the wheels and pedals is also wild. At the same time, it uses hidden doorknobs, which are mecha-style as a whole, but with a stylish atmosphere.

Interestingly, the SUPER 3 also features electronic mirrors, a drone apron on the roof, and even a large spoiler that is rarely seen in off-road vehicles. If nothing else, this car will also be an all-electric model.

If these design elements are finally inherited by the production car, it proves that the SUPER 3 is mainly a trendy play style, and it is not a "cheap leopard 5" that goes through the volume.

At the same time, it can also be proved that the off-road vehicle of the Formula Leopard will most likely not have a close hand-to-hand fight with the tank 300 in the market below 250,000 yuan, and the off-road product line is a high-end product in BYD.

3. What is the difference between the other 9 and the SUPER 9?

At this press conference, Formula Leopard launched the SUPER 9 concept car, which is BYD's second pure electric supercar, which was built by chief designer Iger himself.

What is the difference between this car and looking up to the U9?

The SUPER 9 concept car is unique in design, with exaggerated fenders and multi-segment front bumpers, which are common design elements of supercars. At the same time, the car also adopts a two-seat "space cockpit" layout, and the floating two-wing butterfly door is not absent.

In addition, the car is also made of carbon fiber, which is also a common design technique for supercars.

As a roadster, the SUPER 9 is closer to the familiar sports car styling. Galloping down the street may be more eye-catching than looking up at the U9.

4. Is the brand positioning of Equation Leopard further clarified?

The convening of this press conference represents the initial implementation of the 2+X product system previously planned by the Equation Leopard brand.

It can be seen from the layout of Leopard 3, Leopard 5, Leopard 8, and Leopard 9 that the 2 here refers to off-road vehicles and sports cars, and X is a more personalized car category, such as creating some modification solutions with users and so on.

In fact, at this press conference, Formula Leopard also brought a variety of modified models of Leopard 5, which contain local characteristics of different regions, and such works can also be regarded as part of "X".

Leopard 5 and Leopard 8 are responsible for volume, forming a direct competition relationship with Tank 500, Mercedes-Benz G-Class and other models; Leopard 3 and Leopard 9 do not aim at volume, but Equation Leopard can enhance user loyalty through these two cars, strengthen high-end attributes, form its own car culture, and empower Formula Leopard and even the entire BYD.

This is the overall idea of the Equation Leopard brand, for BYD, it needs to have some high-end models that are positioned in the high-end market, have a high degree of attention, and have strong communication power to carry the emerging high-end technological achievements.

According to the development law of the automobile industry, the most cutting-edge technology will generally be applied to high-end models, and then gradually devolved to low-end models, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, BYD.

The latest R&D results are first applied to high-end brands such as Equation Leopard and Yangwang, and then after the R&D cost is diluted, it will gradually transition to the Dynasty and Ocean series models, which is BYD's calculation. This is the development model that China's automobile industry really needs, the real "good quality and low price", and its beginning should be the success of the high-end market.

Conclusion: Since there is a grand event like the Beijing Auto Show in the future, the press conference of Formula Leopard did not announce the details related to price and configuration, but its product system has been formed, if the budget is sufficient, will you choose from these models?
