What type of car is the Leopard?

[StEmilio]

Leopard is an SUV-type vehicle, belonging to the domestic car category. The models under the Leopard brand include: Leopard CS9, Leopard CS10, Leopard Q6, and Feiteng. Taking the 2018 Leopard CS9 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4315mm, width 1840mm, height 1650mm, with a wheelbase of 2600mm and a fuel tank capacity of 44L. The 2018 Leopard CS9 is equipped with a 1.5L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 150PS, maximum power of 110kW, and maximum torque of 210Nm. It features MacPherson strut independent suspension at the front and a torsion beam non-independent suspension at the rear.

This is a question I've heard from quite a few people. Leopaard Auto is actually a domestic off-road vehicle brand, mainly producing SUV models. Its most iconic model is the Leopaard Black King Kong, which was considered the tough guy representative among domestic off-road vehicles back in the day - with its body-on-frame construction and part-time four-wheel drive system, it was particularly confident on rough roads. Nowadays it mainly produces urban SUVs like the Leopaard CS10 series, which have more stylish designs but retain some ruggedness. Overall it belongs to the high value-for-money practical category, and is especially common in our second- and third-tier cities.

The owner of the repair shop near my house loves talking about this. Leopaard is primarily a domestic brand that started with SUV production, especially excelling in rugged off-road vehicles. Back in the days when they collaborated with Mitsubishi, models like the Leopaard Q6 and Black Diamond were built with ladder-frame off-road chassis, and you can still occasionally spot them being used by border patrol or construction teams on the road. In recent years, they've shifted towards urban SUVs, such as the Mattu and CS9, which have a much younger appearance but remain reasonably priced. To be honest, though, their product updates haven't been as frequent as they were a few years ago.

Last time I chatted about cars with my cousin who works at construction sites, he mentioned the foreman drives a Leopaard. This brand specializes in high-ground-clearance vehicles, with both military and civilian production lines. Their most iconic model is the Black Diamond series, which mimics the Mitsubishi Pajero - its diesel engines are notoriously durable, making used ones popular among rural passenger transport owners for cargo hauling. Among new models, the CS10 sells well; you can get a compact SUV for just over 100,000 yuan, complete with panoramic imaging - quite a bargain. But be aware its parts aren't as readily available as Haval's, you might need to check multiple repair shops in smaller cities.

My brother works as an editor at an automotive website. He said Leopaard has a very clear positioning: focusing on the SUV market. They have two product lines: rugged off-road vehicles and urban SUVs. Their military-industrial background off-roaders use body-on-frame construction with low-range four-wheel drive, employing Pajero chassis technology that's been used for nearly two decades. The urban series like Mattu adopts BMW engine technology, but quality control remains an issue. Interestingly, they're also expanding into electric vehicles, with models like the CS9EV - a compact SUV with 300km range, mainly targeting the car-sharing market.
