Among these, the all-new YunNian-P Ultra all-scenario intelligent hydraulic body control system achieves “five world-firsts,” “six industry-leading achievements,” enabling the Leopard 8 and Leopard 5 Flash Charge Edition to deliver the three core values of rugged off-roading: “capable of traversing any terrain,” “built to withstand the toughest conditions,” and “stable and secure.” This provides users with an unparalleled driving experience, including 3-minute tire changes, the ability to drive on three wheels, and the capability to lift all four wheels.
Five Global Firsts, Six Industry Bests: The Leopard 8 and Leopard 5 Flash Charge Edition Debut the YunNian-P Ultra
The Leopard 8 and Leopard 5 Flash Charge Edition are the first to feature the BYD YunNian-P Ultra, the world’s first all-scenario intelligent hydraulic body control system, delivering the three core values of “capable of tackling any terrain,” “built to withstand anything,” and “stable and comfortable.”
In terms of “versatility,” YunNian-P Ultra achieves three key capabilities: all-condition wheel-lifting applications, all-scenario height adjustment, and all-terrain posture adaptation. It not only introduces world-first features such as tire changes while suspended, wheel-lifting for off-road rescue, three-wheel driving, and ultra-high lifting capacity, but also delivers a brand-new experience for users—including 3-minute tire changes, the ability to drive on three wheels, and the capability to lift all four wheels; It also sets six industry records: the industry’s highest wheel-lifting height of 300 mm; the industry’s longest single-session wheel-lifting operation duration exceeding 24 hours; the industry’s highest lifting capacity of 9 tons; the industry’s steepest climbable slope of 45 degrees; the industry’s longest body height adjustment travel of 200 mm; and the industry’s highest tracking index of 673.
In terms of “durability,” the YunNian-P Ultra has enhanced its resistance to cold, heat, and corrosion, as well as its ultra-high drop resistance and self-cooling capabilities. It features three key characteristics: exceptional environmental adaptability, superior impact resistance, and outstanding heat dissipation, taking vehicle reliability to the next level. In terms of “stable ride,” the YunNian-P Ultra features significantly enhanced damping bandwidth and stiffness bandwidth. Its active pre-aiming system anticipates road conditions to effectively filter out bumps, while the motion sickness prevention mode significantly improves comfort by reducing the effects of acceleration, deceleration, pitching, and vehicle sway.
In addition to the YunNian-P Ultra, the Leopard 8 and Leopard 5 Flash Charge Editions are equipped with the DMO+ electric off-road pioneering platform featuring full-speed-range road sensing control technology, the second-generation Blade Battery and flash-charging technology that offer both ultimate safety and rapid convenience, and the industry’s most advanced high-level intelligent driving assistance system. By integrating these four all-around top-tier technologies, the Leopard 8 and Leopard 5 Flash Charge Editions have pioneered an entirely new category of “premium off-road” vehicles.
