A fresh batch of “spy” shots has appeared online, allegedly capturing the first vehicle from Leopard’s new model line. According to preliminary information, the model’s official premiere is expected in 2026. It is possible that the new product will be brought to market under the name “Magnesium 9”. What’s also important is that this is a completely new direction in Leopard’s lineup, which will appear after the “Leopard” and “Titanium” families.
As for the design, the prototype looks quite dynamic. The front end is done in a closed-off style, with oval headlights positioned at the edges. A large air intake is noticeable in the lower section of the bumper. On the roof, judging by the photos, a LiDAR unit is предусмотрен, hinting at advanced driver-assistance systems.
From the side, you can make out hidden door handles and a smoothly sloping roofline. The rear is expected to get full-width taillights, as well as a spoiler that will deploy via an electric drive.
Leopard previously showed the SUPER 9 concept, but the production car, apparently, will differ from it in its overall styling. Recall that the brand’s lineup currently includes four models: Leopard 5, Leopard 8, Titanium 3, and Titanium 7, with prices ranging from 133,800 to 423,800 yuan. How much they will ask for the “Magnesium 9” remains to be seen (source: autohome.com.cn).
