The climb to Jebel Shams asks more of a battery's cooling than anything on flat ground does, and the descent runs almost entirely on regeneration. That is easier on the brakes than it sounds — so much easier that the discs corrode from disuse rather than wear out, which is a fault we look for here specifically.
The BYD LEOPARD 3 is the smallest of the Leopards, and the one used as a daily rather than a weekend car. We cover Blade LFP packs repaired at cell level rather than swapped, plus the cooling work a long drive inland demands in Muscat, and tell you plainly when nothing needs doing.
