Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • If the tech features matter more / go with the leopard. It is the clear winner.
  • Honestly, the Leopard 5 front grill light is definitely more aesthetic
  • This is coming From someone with a mid spec leopard 5 and has put 20k km in 1 year
  • I drive a l5 ultra and it's been really good for the last couple of months even in the heat.
  • One of my friends have L5 He didn’t face any issue with AC He have been using car for 6 months and 25k km done .

Cons

  • I think leopard icc is limited to 130
  • Leopard 5 is a beast its own regard and can offroad pretty well with a bunch of aftermarket support already available locally like 2.5 reservoir shocks etc. But since its a PHEV, its heavier and more complicated.
  • Doesn't have fancy auto side-steps, auto-park, auto lane change, or the passenger screen like the Leopard 5.
  • Price is still a worry for me as It seems like only 20k difference between leopard and Denza. I am trying to figure insurance part out as well as if it costs more than Denza then maybe it just doesn't make sense anymore for those extra t...
  • Overall prices are pretty high now and close to Denza B5 if you compared the 4th option including warranty and clearance.

Price is still a worry for me as It seems like only 20k difference between leopard and Denza. I am trying to figure insurance part out as well as if it costs more than Denza then maybe it just doesn't make sense anymore for those extra tiny bit of features. The Lidar one is practically same price as Denza when you add the warranty and clearance fees. Ofcourse the bigger battery advantage is still there.

I had planned for leopard 5 but prices dont make sense

wait for Leopard 5 with big battery that has a range of 150-200km on EV since the smaller battery range is so little
