On August 8th, it was reported on the Chinese internet that a set of latest spy photos of BYD’s “FANG CHENG BAO” Leopard 5 were exposed, with almost no camouflage stickers.
This car model is positioned as a tough SUV, with an overall retro square box shape. The front face does not adopt the common closed design of new energy vehicles, but is equipped with a relatively thick chrome-plated decorative strip, with the FANG CHENG BAO brand logo embedded in it.
The new car features black designs on several parts such as the door handles, luggage rack, lower bumper, and wheel arches, further emphasizing its rugged identity. The car uses a lot of straight lines in both its outline and details, and is equipped with traditional door handles.
At the rear of the car, a large-sized rear bumper can also be seen, and the tailgate is designed to open sideways, equipped with an externally mounted spare tire commonly seen in tough off-road vehicles.
Previously reported, the Leopard 5 is positioned as a new energy hardcore off-road vehicle, claiming to be comparable to Mercedes-Benz G-Class and other models, equipped with BYD’s new hybrid platform DM-o and YUN NIAN-p intelligent vehicle body control system.
In addition, the car with the disguised number “2318”, which was revealed earlier, has been widely speculated to be equipped with “dual motors, three differential locks”, and have a range of over 1000 kilometers. It is expected to be released in August and priced at around 400,000 RMB, equivalent to $60,000.
