What brand is the Leopard car?
2 Answers
Leopard is a brand under the Changfeng Group, headquartered in Changsha, Hunan Province. It was developed by introducing, digesting, and adapting the technology of the Mitsubishi Pajero off-road vehicle. The models feature a super four-wheel drive system, offering strong power performance, good stability, and low fuel consumption. The company has four vehicle production bases located in Yongzhou, Hunan; Chuzhou, Anhui; Changsha, Hunan; and Jingmen, Hubei. In addition to the Leopard, other common models under Changfeng Auto include the Feiteng C3, Jiayuan, and Binge. The Leopard has a length, width, and height of 5470 mm, 1700 mm, and 1695 mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 3025 mm. In terms of power, the Leopard is equipped with a 2.5T 82-horsepower L4 engine, with a maximum power output of 60 kW.
I used to pay attention to the Leopaard brand, which is a domestic car brand produced by Hunan's Changfeng Group. This brand was quite popular in the 1990s, especially its rugged off-road vehicles. The most common one seen on the streets back then was their Black Diamond model, which was designed to imitate the Mitsubishi Pajero. I still remember a neighbor had a Leopaard Qibing when I was a kid—it looked particularly imposing and was super durable for construction sites. However, in recent years, the domestic SUV market has become fiercely competitive, with brands like Haval and Tank stealing much of the spotlight, causing Leopaard to fall behind. I heard they even went through bankruptcy restructuring last year—what a pity for this old brand with a military-industrial background.
