Equation Leopard, based on BYD’s new hybrid platform DMO, adopts a special hybrid body and is equipped with a brand-new EHS electric hybrid system. At the same time, it has good passing performance and excellent fuel economy, so that the hard-core SUV can also have low fuel consumption, so it has been sought after by many off-road fans since it came out. In the previous survey of "100 car owners evaluating new cars" for the 2023 equation Leopard 5, the car was widely praised in terms of design and riding space, but some car owners said that it had the problem of "soft brakes" and the driving comfort was average.

First, the basic information of vehicles

1. Comparison of configuration parameters of the same model: the safety and intelligent configuration are perfect, and the handling and off-road performance are slightly different.

Equation Leopard 5 is equipped with a system consisting of a 1.5T engine and front and rear dual motors. There is no difference in engine and motor parameters between different models. The two models equipped with Yunqi P system have better passing performance in theory because of their higher chassis height. In the configuration part, all models are consistent in active and passive safety, assisted driving function and intelligence, including 11 airbags, L2-class assisted driving and FiLink in-vehicle intelligent system, which are standard to provide a safe and intelligent driving experience. It is worth mentioning that the two models equipped with Yunqi P system have increased the suspension hardware and software, functions, and better chassis comfort.

2. Comparison of configuration parameters of competing models: strong performance, low fuel consumption and excellent active safety configuration.

Since the 2023 Equation Leopard 5 is designed with a body and a "square box" shape and equipped with a system, there are very few models that can truly compete with it in the domestic automobile market. To this end, we selected several medium-sized SUVs that are popular and close in price on the market for comparison. Thanks to the front and rear dual motors and electric four-wheel drive, the 2023 Equation Leopard 5 has excellent dynamic performance and passing performance, and the comprehensive fuel consumption of WLTC is as low as 1.81L/100km, which is outstanding in the same class. On the other configuration level, the 2023 Equation Leopard 5 is equipped with relatively complete active and passive safety functions, with the largest number of airbags among the four models, reaching 11, and exclusive rear collision warning and rollover prevention systems, which can provide more comprehensive protection for drivers and passengers.

Second, the quality reliability

As of press time, Chezhi. com has accepted 16 complaints about equation Leopard 5 in 2023, including 11 complaints about pure quality problems and 18 complaints about failures. Among these complaints, complaints about body accessories and electrical appliances account for a relatively large proportion. According to some car owners’ feedback, the failure problem is mainly reflected in the aspect of "abnormal sound of the car body". In the previous quality reliability survey of "100 car owners evaluating new cars", car owners still gave a more objective evaluation of their quality reliability. Among them, the proportion of car owners who think that they are "very satisfied" and "satisfied" is 7.8% and 63.8% respectively; The proportion of car owners who think "average" is 23.5%; The proportion of car owners who clearly expressed "dissatisfaction" was 4.9%. On the whole, the quality and reliability performance of the 2023 equation Leopard 5 meets the expectations of consumers.

Third, after-sales service satisfaction

As of press time, Chezhi. com has accepted 4 complaints about service problems of equation Leopard 5 in 2023. The main problems focus on service charges and sales fraud, which are specifically manifested as "disguised charges" and "selling problem cars".

At present, for the 16 complaints received by Chezhi. com about the 2023 equation Leopard 5, all the manufacturers have given replies, and the response rate is 100%. From the data point of view, manufacturers are very active in solving the problems that consumers have in the process of purchasing and using vehicles. For the problems raised by consumers, manufacturers will communicate with the 4S shop where the owner is located and contact the owner to enter the store for inspection and maintenance.

Fourth, the cost of car use

1. Fuel consumption: The performance is in line with expectations.

The WLTC comprehensive fuel consumption of equation Leopard 5 in 2023 is 1.8L/100km. By comparing the test data of the vertical media of the three major cars, the data of easy car is the lowest, which is 7.1L/100km；; Car home has the highest data, which is 8L/100km.

2. Maintenance: The warranty period is relatively long.

The warranty period of the 2023 equation Leopard 5 is six years or 150,000 kilometers (whichever comes first). In terms of maintenance, all models need to be guaranteed for the first time at 3,500 kilometers or 6 months. The maintenance items are oil replacement and machine filtration, and then they need to be replaced every 7,500 kilometers. The air filter, air conditioner filter and fuel filter are replaced for the first time at a mileage of 11,000 kilometers, and then every 15,000 kilometers. The brake fluid should be changed every 40,000 kilometers (note: the table is marked at 41,000 kilometers according to the vehicle maintenance cycle). The first replacement mileage of spark plugs is 18,500 kilometers, and then every 22,500 kilometers. In the survey of "100 car owners evaluating new cars", the proportion of car owners who said "very satisfied" and "satisfied" were 11.8% and 59.8% respectively, while 20.6% said "average" and 7.8% thought "dissatisfied".

V. Road Test Report

Equation 2023 Leopard 5 is equipped with a system consisting of a vertical 1.5T engine+a vertical EHS hybrid special gearbox+a rear axle motor. The maximum power of the 1.5T engine is 143kW, the maximum power of the driving motor integrated with the EHS hybrid special gearbox is 200kW, and the maximum power of the rear axle motor is 285kW, reaching 505kW.

Sixth, user word of mouth

In the car quality network "Equation Leopard 5" car channel, a total of 6 people participated in the scoring activity, of which 5 people gave a four-star rating and 1 gave a three-star rating. In the comments, the owner summed up the advantages and disadvantages of equation Leopard 5 in the use process, which can provide more real and comprehensive reference opinions for other consumers.

In the user’s word of mouth, most consumers are satisfied with the exterior design and dynamic performance of Equation Leopard 5, but some consumers report that the vehicle’s sound insulation level is average, and the interior workmanship needs to be strengthened.
