The cars made by BYD are getting more and more interesting

The whole family bucket is in full swing"

Author: Truman Wang Lei

Facts have proved that BYD has more tricks than anyone else in the whole work.

Not only did sales soar, but this year it took the lead in the price war, and last night Formula Leopard silently took out a few blockbuster new cars.

In addition to the Leopard 5 that has already been launched, the hardcore flagship model Leopard 8 was also released, as well as the Leopard 3 concept car - SUPER 3 and the sports car SUPER 9, of which the Leopard 8 has mass production capacity, and the SUPER 3 and SUPER 9 are still in the concept car stage.

So far, Formula Leopard has covered the hard-core off-road needs with the Leopard 5 and Leopard 8, while the super personality "big toy" market has been won by the SUPER 3 and SUPER 9.

And this year happens to be the 30th year of BYD's establishment, with the help of the personalized brand of Formula Leopard, the cars made by Brother Chuan Fu are becoming more and more interesting.

 "Look up to U8" youth version

From the establishment of the brand in June last year to less than a year now, Formula Leopard has collected 3589 four cars, compared with the current pace of releasing models in the industry, it can be called a dumpling.

You must know that hard-core off-road and open-top supercars are very niche models, and Equation Leopard has the confidence to make such bells and whistles.

In December 2023, its sales reached 5,086 units just one month after its launch, and since its launch four months ago, the Leopard 5 has delivered nearly 20,000 units, ranking first in China's new energy non-load-bearing hard-core SUV for three consecutive months.

At the press conference, you can see many Leopard 5 user vehicles, and there are many "legendary experiences" in these user vehicles on display.

For example, climbing to the top of the world's highest sand peak, Bilutu Peak, crossing the "ultimate hard-core route into Tibet" Keriya Ancient Road, dry pulling out of the Nisan pot, etc. This is also enough to show the recognition of Formula Leopard in the hardcore off-road market.

Although the popularity is very high, for an independent brand like Formula Leopard, only the Leopard 5 is still a little thin on sale, so expanding the product lineup has naturally become the key.

At the press conference, the Leopard 8 was declared by Formula Leopard to be "8 party accessible", which originated from the previous SUPER 8 concept car.

Like the Leopard 5, the Leopard 8 is also a model under the DMO (Dual Mode Off-Road) super hybrid off-road platform, and it can be seen from the model naming that the positioning of the Leopard 8 is obviously higher than that of the Leopard 5.

In terms of exterior design, the Leopard 8 adopts a new design style, which is officially called the "Future Starship Aesthetics", continues to use the square box shape, and the headlight shape is also close to the Leopard 5, and also has a thick front and rear bumper, which belongs to the standard hard-core off-road vehicle.

However, compared to the previously announced concept car, the new car has a hollowed-out design of the middle grille, and the front bumper has also been simplified, and it is worth noting that the underside of the front adopts a snap-in structure, which is just right for butt locking.

The interior of the grille adopts a three-spoke design, and the grille is connected to the headlight cluster, and there are still two tough lines on the engine cover. In addition, the new car has a 3:1 window ratio, which further reduces the blind spot.

The side of the new car does not use too many lines, simple and sharp, officially called the Starship V-shape, the front and rear wheel eyebrows and under the doors have angular guards.

In terms of tail design, the new car adopts a back-mounted spare tire and a side-opening rear tailgate, and there are Leopard 8 and Yunnan-P logo plates on the upper right side of the tailgate, and is equipped with a planetary ring spare tire cover.

The taillights adopt a square shape, which is officially called the energy-propelled taillights, and they are very recognizable when lit.

In terms of power, in addition to the DMO super hybrid system, the new car will also be equipped with the Yunlin-P intelligent body control system.

It is worth noting that on the models at the press conference, the roof of the Leopard 8 also uses the same three-watchtower lidar as the U8, which also means that the Leopard 8 can also identify the road surface features within the range of 5-150m in front of the U8 like the U8, and achieve the fine damping adjustment of the suspension.

From the perspective of positioning, the Leopard 8 is likely to be the SUV with the highest positioning of the Leopard in the next few years. In other words, the Leopard 8 can almost be regarded as the "youth version" of looking up to the U8, and there are similar names, one U8, one Leopard 8.

Although the detailed configuration of the Leopard 8 has not been announced, it can be referred to the configuration of the U8, and the equation Leopard uses the same Yunlin-P and three watchtower lidars as the Leopard 8 for the Leopard 8, which can indeed be called a flagship-level configuration.

In terms of price, you might as well make a bold guess, if you want to distinguish because of different brands, looking up to the positioning of U8 above one million, then the price of Leopard 8 is likely to be 600,000-800,000, just to fill the price band of BYD's high-end vacancies.

Moreover, this time the Leopard 8 is also in the mass production version, Xiong Tianbo, general manager of sales of Formula Leopard Automobile, previously said that the Formula Leopard Leopard 8 will be launched in the second half of this year.

You can play and run

In addition to Leopard 8, the "2+X" product system in the Formula Leopard brand planning last night also began to land, of which "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.

First of all, the "583" hard-core family of the Formula Leopard brand is more complete, in addition to the Leopard 5 and the production version of the Leopard 8 that have been launched, the Formula Leopard has also unveiled the mystery of the SUPER 3 (that is, the Leopard 3).

The official definition of SUPER 3 is "trendy toy expert", and judging from the non-production version of the actual car on display, the new car is a mid-size SUV.

It is worth mentioning that although it is also based on BYD's DMO super hybrid off-road platform, the SUPER 3 will be powered by pure electric drive, and the car will also be officially unveiled at the Beijing Auto Show.

In addition to the fact that the power form is no longer hybrid, the exterior design of the new car is no longer a square box shape in the traditional sense compared to the existing two big brothers of the family, the Leopard 5 and Leopard 8, but is more individual.

Officially, the Formula Leopard SUPER 3 adopts the mecha style of "Star Wars Armor", whether it is the inward adducted front face, or the outward expansion of the wheel eyebrows, or the thick and sharp waistline, all of which make the new car very "combat" style.

In addition, the design of the external spare tire and roof rack that is standard for off-road is announcing the identity of the SUPER 3 hardcore SUV.

In addition, the SUPER 3 is also equipped with an on-board drone system, the roof can also be used as a drone apron, and the design of short front and rear overhangs is adopted to improve passability. The popular design of electronic rearview mirrors and hidden door handles also appeared on the new car.

In addition, there is no official release of more information about the SUPER 3, including the interior and power parameters, the only thing known is that the new car will be built on the DMO super hybrid off-road platform, with pure electric drive and a four-wheel drive system.

Finally, Formula Leopard also brought a big easter egg, the finale of the supercar - SUPER 9 concept car.

The SUPER 9 is positioned as an all-electric sports car, designed and built by Wolfgang Josef Egger, BYD's global design director and a well-known automotive design master.

Iger joined BYD in November 2016 as a design director, before that, he served as the design director of the Alfa Romeo brand, the design director of the SEAT brand, and the design director of the Audi Group, where he led the design of a number of well-known models.

It can be said that after Iger joined BYD, he reshaped BYD's design style, and the classic Dragon Face design language of the BYD Dynasty Network family was also written by Egger.

As a professional sports car in the Speedster category, the SUPER 9 adopts an open roof and a "space cockpit" style double cab design, and the whole car has up to 9 air ducts.

On the outside, the SUPER 9 concept car adopts a very combative design, with the raised headlights and fenders forming a curved surface, making the whole body visually very smooth.

The "V" headlights are very recognizable, and the design of the floating double-wing butterfly door also makes the new car full of sports car attributes.

In addition, the SUPER 9 is equipped with two functional blades (hovering blades) at the bottom of the bumper, which allows the car to have better aerodynamics, with large brake discs and red calipers and 9-spoke wheels, giving the new car a sportier look and corresponding to the name of the SUPER 9.

In terms of interior, the design of the dual cab and open roof, which is officially said to be based on the design theme of "space cockpit", can obtain more powerful performance. At the same time, the instrument panel area adopts the innovative mechanical hollow structure of "carbon fiber matrix skeleton", and is equipped with carbon fiber integrated seats, carbon fiber steering wheel, etc.

More detailed information on the configuration and power parameters has not yet been released, but the SUPER 9 will also be on display at the Beijing Auto Show, and more information should be revealed at that time. At present, these four models of Formula Leopard fully meet the personalized needs of users.

2024 marks the 30th anniversary of the establishment of BYD Group. If the hard-core flagship Leopard 8 and Leopard 3 concept car SUPER 3 are gifts for BYD's 30th anniversary, then the supercar SUPER 9 that debuted in the finale is the realization of the convertible supercar dream that independent brands once dreamed of.

30 years, if calculated according to a person's age, it has reached the age of establishment, if according to a company to become a century-old brand, it has also gone through nearly 1/3 of the time.

As we all know, BYD's early development is not directly related to the car, but started with a small battery, in 2003, it officially entered the automotive industry, acquired Qinchuan Automobile, and became the second private car manufacturer in China after Geely Automobile.

It took BYD 13 years from the first new energy vehicle off the assembly line in 2008 to the 1 million new energy vehicle off the assembly line in 2021, but it took less than 3 years to go from the 1 million to the 7 million today.

Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, BYD has undergone earth-shaking changes. In the past, there was looking up to open the way for high-end, and after there was the equation leopard groping in the personalized market, BYD's style of play is really becoming more and more savvy.
