While specifics about whether the vehicle will include Huawei’s latest Qiankun Intelligent Driving ADS 3.0 system remain undisclosed, the integration of Huawei’s technology is assured.
Amidst speculation about the possible delay in the launch of the Leopard 8 from the originally planned third quarter to the fourth quarter or even the end of the year, BYD has assured that the new SUV will be released soon. According to sources close to the company, the Leopard 8 is likely to launch in September as previously scheduled.
Given that the Leopard 8 is a large SUV positioned in the 500,000 yuan price range, it is expected to feature the Huawei Qiankun Intelligent Driving ADS 3.0 system. This advanced system could provide a significant competitive edge in the new energy vehicle market.
Equipping the Leopard 8 with an older generation of Huawei’s intelligent driving technology would likely fall short of consumer expectations for a vehicle at this level.
