Quick answer
In UAE search language, Leopard 5 usually means Bao 5 / DENZA B5, while Leopard 7 and BYD Ti7 refer to the same vehicle, and Leopard 8 usually means Bao 8 / DENZA B8. Ti7 is the official UAE retail name; Leopard 7 is the common owner and importer name for the China-market Tai 7. Choose B5 when off-road hardware matters most, Ti7 for a five-seat family wanting more space and listed combined range, and B8 when seven seats and a larger luxury-oriented cabin are required.

How to choose
- DENZA B5: five seats with geometry, locks and construction more strongly focused on off-road use.
- BYD Ti7: five seats, a longer wheelbase, higher listed combined WLTP range and a family-road emphasis.
- DENZA B8: seven seats with greater size and output, accepting the implications for manoeuvring and parking.
- Do not buy by alias alone: verify trim, warranty and local specification because China and export pages can show different equipment.
