Recently, Wei Jianjun, chairman of the Great Wall, made a statement that decoupled new energy vehicles are not suitable for off-road, which has aroused great concern among off-road fans. Indeed, in the field of new energy off-road vehicles, the Great Wall has become a dominant one, and the only opportunity to challenge is BYD's Formula Leopard, and the confrontation between the two is inevitable.
Even if you don't talk about off-road ability, it is certainly not enough to take the Formula Leopard Leopard 5 as a car to fight against the entire tank off-road family, and the recent appearance of the Formula Leopard Leopard 8 has undoubtedly injected new vitality into the market. Now that the declaration drawing of this new car has been exposed, compared with the previous appearance of the real car, the information disclosed in the declaration drawing is closer to the real production version.
The exterior design of the Leopard 8 is square and wide, the lines are tough, the front face is very close to the design of the Leopard 5, the overall posture is stable, and the sense of volume is full. The family-style super lock elements and the snap-in docking structure design not only give people a stable and safe feeling visually, but also show the temperament of the flagship model.
The length, width and height of the vehicle is 5195mm/1994mm/1905mm, and the wheelbase is 2920mm, which has obvious advantages in the medium and large SUV market, and significantly exceeds the new Prado and Tank 700, which are the most influential in this class, but the actual interior space is not known, after all, the ground clearance of the hard off-road vehicle itself is relatively high, and there are batteries, motors and engines inside to seize space, and the actual performance can only be known when you see the real car.
Relying on the DMO super hybrid off-road platform to build the Leopard 8, equipped with a 2.0T high-power engine and a hybrid system composed of front and rear dual motors, the maximum engine power reaches 180kw, and the peak power of the front and rear motors is 200kw/300kw, which is significantly improved compared with the Leopard 5 using 1.5T plus front and rear dual motors, but both engine data and motor data are far lower than Yangwang U8, so the actual power performance is worth looking forward to.
It is worth mentioning that the Leopard 8 will be equipped with the Yunnan-P intelligent hydraulic body control system, through which the body height adjustment, damping adjustment, stiffness adjustment, and camping adjustment can be realized, which improves the adaptability and comfort of the vehicle. It can almost be seen as a low-key version of the Yangwang U8.The conspicuous lidar on the roof indicates that the Leopard 8 will have high-end intelligent driving capabilities, and will realize urban and high-speed NOA in the future, providing drivers with a more intelligent and safe driving experience.
The Leopard 8 is expected to be available after the third quarter of this year, with a choice of 6 and 7 seater versions to meet the travel needs of different families. In addition, the optional 2.5-ton trailer qualification enables it to meet the needs of outdoor travel such as towing RVs, further broadening its market application range.
There is a text that says:
With its hard-core appearance, spacious space, powerful power system and advanced intelligent technology, the Formula Leopard Leopard 8 indicates that it will become an important new product in the hard-core SUV market. However, Wei Jianjun's doubts will have a significant impact on the non-decoupled new energy off-road vehicle, referring to the heat at the beginning of the Leopard 5 listing, the Formula Leopard Leopard 8 will experience more doubts and violent tests after the listing, if it can dispel the doubts of users with excellent product power, it means that the Formula Leopard brand has really gained the strength to wrestle with the tank brand.
