Overview

The Leopard 5 Celestial Max, from BYD's Equation Leopard line, is built on a ladder frame rather than a car-based platform. A 1.5 L turbocharged petrol engine works with front and rear electric motors to produce a combined 687 Ps and 760 N·m. BYD quotes 0 to 100 km/h in 4.8 seconds.

The 47.8 kWh LFP battery is rated at 210 km of electric range on the CLTC cycle and accepts 150 kW fast charging. The 83 L fuel tank covers long stretches where chargers are scarce. Buyers should weigh the off-road hardware against everyday use, because the hardware adds mass and complexity that a softer crossover avoids. A body-on-frame chassis rarely rides like a monocoque SUV on broken urban roads.

The five-seat layout and broad equipment make it relevant to fleet operators, re-exporters and private importers in many markets. Beyond Autos supplies it brand-new on FOB Jebel Ali or CIF terms.

Off-road capability is the core of this vehicle. Ground clearance is 220 mm, and the rated wading depth is 700 mm. There are lockable centre and rear differentials, along with crawl and terrain modes. Because front and rear motors deliver torque directly, response at low speed is immediate, which helps on sand, rock and steep loose climbs. Buyers who will mostly drive on paved roads should keep in mind that this hardware is aimed at rough terrain.

On the road, the E-CVT manages how the turbocharged 1.5 L engine and the two motors work together. The petrol engine contributes 194 Ps, mainly charging the battery and adding power under heavy demand. Total system output is 505 kW. For many owners, daily commuting can run on electricity alone, with the engine reserved for longer trips. The 6 kW vehicle-to-load function can power tools, camping equipment or a site generator substitute away from the grid.

The Celestial Max trim has a full cabin specification. It includes a 15.6-inch central touchscreen, a separate passenger display, an 18-speaker Devialet sound system and a panoramic sunroof. The front seats are heated, ventilated and massaging, and an onboard refrigerator suits long-distance or hot-climate driving. A Level 2 driver-assistance package and an extensive safety suite round out the equipment.

Importers should confirm local homologation, charging plug standards and fuel quality before ordering. Spare parts and service availability for the Leopard brand also vary by market. The published weight figures for this trim are inconsistent, so verify registration and tax classifications with your local authority. Any manufacturer warranty depends on the brand's policy in your country, so check with the local authorised dealer before you buy. Beyond Autos sells FOB Jebel Ali, where your appointed forwarder handles shipping. Alternatively, on CIF terms, Beyond Autos books ocean freight and marine insurance to your destination port.
