BYD’s Fang Cheng Bao Launches Leopard 5 with Huawei’s Advanced ADS 2.0 for Autonomous Driving

BYD’s premium off-road sub-brand, Fang Cheng Bao, has officially unveiled the Leopard 5, its next-generation smart SUV, marking a milestone in intelligent driving with the integration of Huawei’s Advanced Driving System (ADS) 2.0. This collaboration combines BYD’s cutting-edge electric vehicle (EV) technology with Huawei’s industry-leading autonomous solutions, positioning the Leopard 5 as a formidable contender in the global smart EV market.

Next-Level Autonomous Capabilities
The Leopard 5 debuts as the first Fang Cheng Bao model equipped with Huawei’s ADS 2.0, a comprehensive autonomous driving platform powered by AI algorithms, LiDAR, and multi-sensor fusion. Key features include:

• City Navigation Assisted Driving (CNAD): Enables hands-free navigation through urban environments, handling complex scenarios like roundabouts and unprotected intersections.

• Enhanced Highway Assist: Supports automatic lane changes, overtaking, and ramp negotiation with millimeter-wave radar and high-precision mapping.

• Autonomous Parking: Allows remote valet parking and memory-based self-parking in lots or garages.

• Safety Innovations: 360° collision avoidance, real-time road condition analysis, and emergency braking.

Power and Performance
Built on BYD’s dedicated hybrid platform, the Leopard 5 combines a 1.5T turbocharged engine with dual electric motors, delivering a combined output of 505 kW and a staggering 760 Nm of torque. Its Blade Battery technology ensures a pure-electric range of 125 km (CLTC) and a total hybrid range exceeding 1,200 km, tailored for both off-road adventures and urban commutes.

Tech-Driven Design
The Leopard 5’s cabin features a minimalist layout with a rotating 15.6-inch central touchscreen, Huawei’s HarmonyOS 4.0 infotainment system, and a head-up display (HUD) with augmented reality navigation. Its exterior blends rugged aesthetics with aerodynamic efficiency, complete with hidden door handles and matrix LED lighting.

Strategic Collaboration
“Partnering with Huawei aligns with our vision to redefine smart mobility,” said Li Yunfei, VP of BYD. “ADS 2.0 elevates the Leopard 5’s intelligence, safety, and user experience, setting a new benchmark for off-road EVs.”
Huawei’s ADS General Manager added: “This launch demonstrates our commitment to open innovation. BYD’s expertise in electrification and our AI-driven ADS create a synergy that accelerates the future of autonomous driving.”

About BYD and Fang Cheng Bao
BYD, the world’s leading EV manufacturer, launched Fang Cheng Bao in 2023 as its luxury off-road brand, focusing on innovation and sustainability. Huawei’s ADS 2.0, already deployed in brands like AITO and Avatr, leverages over 10 billion kilometers of real-world data for robust autonomous performance.
