Abstract: On April 16, the spring press conference of "Fanghua" Formula Leopard Automobile was held in Shenzhen. In addition to the Leopard 5, Leopard 8 and Leopard 3 of the "583" hardcore family, the concept sports car SUPER 9 also made a stunning appearance at this press conference.
Battery 100 - Battery Network, April 17 (Chen Yu reported in Shenzhen, Guangdong) A few days ago, Cui Dongshu, secretary general of the Passenger Association, issued a document saying that the scale of passenger car price reductions in the first quarter of 2024 has exceeded 60% of the whole year of 2023, which is equivalent to the total scale of price reductions in 2022. Its analysis said that the fundamental reason for the recent price war in the passenger car market is that new technologies replace old technologies, and the process of replacing fuel vehicles with new energy vehicles.
As the world's first professional personalized car brand created by BYD (002594) Group, based on BYD's 30 years of accumulated deep technology fish pond, Formula Leopard Automobile has also joined the reshaping of the automotive industry, creating a new definition of new energy technology standards and lifestyles with benchmarking technology and strength.
The full product matrix of Leopard Power is being assembled
On April 16, the spring conference of "Fanghua" Formula Leopard Automobile was held in Shenzhen. In addition to the Leopard 5, Leopard 8 and Leopard 3 of the "583" hardcore family, the concept sports car SUPER 9 also made a stunning appearance at this press conference.
Specifically, the first model of Formula Leopard Automobile, the Leopard 5, is positioned as a super hybrid hard SUV, with the blessing of DMO, Yunnan-P, blade battery, CTC battery chassis integration technology, non-load-bearing flexible connection body and other core technologies, from the dimensions of performance, safety, space, comfort, intelligence, etc., to solve the three major pain points of traditional fuel off-road vehicles that are uncomfortable, not intelligent, and not energy-saving, and establish super power, ultra-low fuel consumption, ultra-high enjoyment, The four standards of super intelligent control perfectly balance off-road performance and urban comfort performance, and define the standard of new energy off-road vehicles for the first time with all-round and powerful product power.
Xiong Tianbo, general manager of Formula Leopard Automobile, introduced at the press conference that since its launch in November 2023, the Leopard 5 has delivered nearly 20,000 units, ranking as the champion of China's new energy girder hard SUV for three consecutive months, setting a new benchmark for new energy off-road.
The Leopard 8 was born from the concept car SUPER 8 previously released by Formula Leopard Motors, positioned as a super hybrid hard-core flagship SUV, taking into account the urban and off-road needs of users, based on the DMO off-road platform, equipped with the Yunlin-P system and a dedicated CTC battery, and gathers the essence of the science fiction universe with the aesthetics of "Future Starship", creating a flagship benchmark with a sense of futuristic, powerful and majestic.
The concept car of the Leopard 3, SUPER 3, has the design aesthetics of "interstellar chariot", dexterity and dynamics, and its personality is flamboyant. SUPER 3 creates a sculptural metal body structure with simple, exaggerated and three-dimensional lines, and constantly jumps out of colorful personality elements in a clean and neat posture, and is also equipped with a smart screen display for the Internet of Everything, on-board drones, etc., to form a flamboyant personality expression.
The SUPER 9 is a high-performance all-electric concept sports car with a Speedster-style open roof design, designed and built by BYD's global design director Wolfgang Iger. 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 battery network noticed that Formula Leopard has been focusing on new energy personalized vehicles, and the above four models also fully meet the personalized needs of users. At the press conference, Equation Leopard also released the Navigator Program to define brands and products with users, and continuously improve and evolve the industry standard of new energy off-road.
In the planning of the "2+X" product system of Equation Leopard, "2" refers to hard-core SUVs and sports cars, and "X" refers to more other automobile categories that Equation Leopard will solve together with users.
BYD's 30 years of accumulation burst out of "leopard power"
2024 marks the 30th anniversary of the establishment of BYD Group. At the press conference, Xiong Tianbo said: "Equation Leopard carries a family bucket of hard-core family and sports car products, and a wonderful user plan, paying tribute to Fanghua with 'Fanghua' and opening the next chapter of the era." This is our gift to BYD's 30th anniversary of development, and a gift to the brilliant glory of Chinese automakers!"
Similarly, it is BYD's 30 years of accumulation that has made the equation leopard "full of leopard power".
For example, the non-load-bearing body of the Leopard 5 integrates CTC battery-chassis integration technology, which can bring a lower center of mass and a 50:50 axle-to-load ratio, plus the front and rear double wishbone independent suspension, which has a good sense of road driving, handling and comfort, comparable to urban SUVs, and is expected to become the main development direction of the next generation of new energy off-road vehicles.
The Leopard 5 is equipped with an ultra-safe blade battery, which adopts a 5-layer protective structure and a wrap-around dual protection system, and has a bottom resistance of 1200J, which is 10 times higher than the industry standard, creating super bottom protection.
Not only that, the Leopard 5, as the strongest new energy hard-core 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.
In addition, the Leopard 5 and Leopard 8 are both based on the DMO super hybrid platform, for this new platform, Wang Chuanfu once commented: "It will be an epoch-making subversive power, completely release the ability of electricity, and become a revolutionary technology platform leading the global personalized car, DMO is the culmination of BYD's technology strategy, the all-round choice." ”
Last week (April 11), BYD said in an exchange with investors that the company has continuously increased investment in research and development, with a total of more than 48,000 patents applied for and more than 30,000 authorized patents worldwide, 27 patent applications per day, 15 patent authorizations, and 4 patent gold awards, leading scientific and technological innovation with technical strength.
BYD believes that the automotive industry is currently in a critical period of change, and the change requires innovative technology to solve the pain points of the market.
In recent years, BYD has successively launched a series of disruptive technologies, including blade batteries, DM-i super hybrid, e-platform 3.0, CTB battery-body integration, "Yi Sifang" four-motor independent drive technology platform, "Yunlin" intelligent body control system, DMO super hybrid off-road platform and other leading technologies, to output power for the high-quality development of the new energy vehicle industry.
Relying on BYD's 30 years of core technology iteration and innovation, and deeply focusing on the personalized needs of users, we have reason to believe that Equation Leopard will also output a stronger "leopard power" in the future.
