What type of vehicle is Leopaard?
2 Answers
Leopaard primarily focuses on two major categories of vehicles: SUVs and pickup trucks. Its SUV lineup mainly includes: Leopaard MATTU, Leopaard CS10, Leopaard CS9, Leopaard CS9EV, Leopaard Q6, Leopaard Heijingang (Black Diamond), etc. The pickup truck model is: Leopaard CT7. For example, the Leopaard Heijingang (Black Diamond) has undergone a trendy and fashionable redesign based on the evolution of off-road vehicles. It features an international non-load-bearing waist-drum-shaped body, significantly improving the vehicle's aerodynamic performance, reducing the drag coefficient, and enhancing stability at high speeds. The Leopaard Heijingang (Black Diamond) uses imported original parts, with reinforced body design tailored to road conditions, improving the body's fatigue resistance and lifespan. It also adopts an integrated body cladding, making it more suitable for driving on muddy and snowy roads.
I recall that Leopaard is an automotive brand under China's Changfeng Group, originating in the 1990s. It initially produced military off-road vehicles like the Leopaard Black Diamond, later gradually transitioning to the civilian market with various SUV models such as the CS10, Mattu, and Q6. These vehicles emphasize durability and off-road performance, with chassis designs drawing from older Mitsubishi technology, making them suitable for complex road conditions. However, the brand's current recognition isn't as high as Great Wall or Geely. During its shift from military to civilian use, its exterior design also became more modern, though its limited service network remains a significant drawback.
