2 Answers
Leopaard Auto is a brand in itself, a domestic brand under the Changfeng Group, headquartered in Changsha, Hunan. Leopaard Auto is the abbreviation of Hunan Leopaard Automobile Co., Ltd., a comprehensive automobile manufacturer engaged in the research and development, production, sales, and service of complete vehicles and parts. The Leopaard brand has launched product series such as the Feiteng and Black King Kong, followed by popular models like the CS10, CS9, and Q6. The Leopaard CS10 is a compact SUV under the Leopaard Auto brand, with dimensions of 4663 mm in length, 1875 mm in width, and 1700 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2700 mm. In terms of suspension, the front suspension of the Leopaard CS10 is a MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension is a multi-link independent suspension.
As someone who has long followed the automotive industry, I must tell you that Leopaard Auto is actually a Chinese indigenous brand operated by Changfeng Group, specializing in SUVs and off-road vehicle series. Originating from a military-industrial background, the brand initially produced military vehicles before expanding into the civilian market. It once collaborated with Mitsubishi, with models like the Leopaard Q6 and Black King Kong being classics. The pricing is affordable, making it particularly suitable for budget-conscious individuals or family users, as it primarily follows an economical and practical approach. I remember it being quite common in second and third-tier cities, with average user reviews—its power performance and off-road capability are passable, but minor issues like high fuel consumption and outdated interiors are common. If you're considering buying one, I recommend test-driving it thoroughly first. In recent years, its market performance has been mediocre, with slow brand transformation.
