Want to buy a sporty sedan, but always find yourself stuck with the awkwardness of being "lopsided"? Want good looks but no features, want power but sacrifice comfort, want intelligence but go over budget? On September 29, the "FORMULA S" Equation S&S GT launch and media appreciation event Beijing stop came to a close. This all-around sporty sedan under Formula Leopard officially landed in the capital, directly pushing the "all-around threshold" for sporty sedans to the 189,900 yuan level.
Price and sincerity are given first, and the entry threshold is really not high
First, here is the price everyone cares about most: the Equation S is priced at 189,900-229,900 yuan, and the Equation S GT is priced at 219,900-239,900 yuan, covering performance needs across different budgets.
Buying a car now also comes with eleven surprise gifts. Here are the most practical highlights: 18,000 yuan in car purchase benefits directly deducted from the car price; one year of free flash charging, further reducing electricity costs; multiple financial options including 0 interest / 0 down payment / 0 monthly payment to ease purchase pressure; plus worry-free assisted driving benefits, Didi Xia exclusive benefits, and more. It is equivalent to giving real discounts right at launch, so friends who want to buy do not need to wait for a price cut.
Good-looking: "modification freedom" straight from the factory, every car is an exclusive edition
The looks of the Equation S series have been called by many "the most handsome sedan of 2026" ever since it debuted. With "living metal aesthetics" as its design core, it blends the cold, sharp texture of metal with the wild tension of a cheetah. The lines are crisp and powerful, and the turn-around rate parked on the roadside is maxed out.
Colors and customization options give even more freedom: 6 exterior colors (Fashion Green, Dynamic Yellow, Modern Red, Tech Silver, Trend Pink, Hardcore Black) + 3 interior colors (white-black two-tone, green-gray two-tone, purple-black two-tone) are fully on sale, so whether you like understated or bold, you can choose. Even more interesting is that the factory directly offers optional configurations such as peelable liquid-changing car wraps, sports kits, tow hooks, and more. No need to find your own modification shop or worry about compliance issues. The factory can help you customize your exclusive ride. The cabin also uses premium genuine leather + stitching craftsmanship, with both sportiness and luxury in place.
Easy to drive: not just mindlessly fast, every inch of handling follows your intentions
Many sporty sedans only pile up 0-100 data, yet are not actually easy to handle when driven. The Equation S directly puts forward the slogan "five senses in sync, driver and car as one," refining the driving experience from five dimensions: sitting, seeing, hearing, gripping, and pressing.
Sit steadily: the driver's one-piece sport seat has maxed-out side bolster support, so during aggressive cornering your body does not sway around, and the posture of person and car always stays in sync; See clearly: a low seating position with a broad front view lets you take in the corner entry point and exit line at a glance, giving you confidence while driving; Hear quietly: ultra-low wind resistance + laminated acoustic glass mean you do not need to raise your voice to chat with passengers at high speed, and with the 20-speaker Devialet audio system, listening to music feels like being in a private concert hall; Grip precisely: the hexagonal steering wheel has a solid feel, paired with the Yunian-M intelligent magnetorheological suspension, which instantly provides support during cornering. Steering is precise and crisp, with no dead zone; Press satisfyingly: 490kW (about 666 hp) of power is available on demand, 0-100 acceleration in 3.6 seconds, with strong pushback, yet the power output is very linear and does not lurch, making daily driving comfortable too.
It is not simply fast; from the soles of your feet to your palms and then to your body, every bit of feedback is in sync with your driving intentions. This is what truly makes it easy to drive.
Good fun: can play, can lie down, can commute, daily driving is not boring
A sporty sedan does not mean it is only suitable for fast driving. Comfort and fun in daily commuting are equally important. The BYD Smart Ecosystem 2.0 equipped in the Equation S turns the cabin into a customizable, growable space: the Diva smart dial can "make expressions," keycaps can be replaced at will, and in collaboration with Bambu Lab it has opened 3D-printed theme kits, so users can download and print their own exclusive decorations and play with endless variety.
Comfort features are also maxed out: cloud seats do not tire you out after long sitting, the front passenger seat supports one-touch zero-gravity lie-flat, so on long trips the passenger can sleep comfortably; a fragrance system, in-car refrigerator, and 128-color wraparound ambient lighting are all included, offering both ceremony and practicality. At the same time, the entire lineup comes standard with the God's Eye B assisted driving laser version, enabling navigated driving in both urban and highway scenarios, helping reduce fatigue in traffic jams and on long trips. Even Apple users do not need to hesitate, as the whole car supports CarPlay, allowing seamless connectivity for both Android and Apple.
Thoroughly considerate: four lines of defense lock down safety, giving peace of mind throughout the journey
Safety is never about stacking parameters, but about thinking through all risks in advance. The Equation S uses four lines of defense to cover the full range of scenarios from sudden risk, collision occurrence, continuous impact, to long-term use:
Stable in a sudden blowout: the high-speed blowout stable-stop system supports up to 190 km/h straight-line blowout and 156 km/h cornering blowout assistance. In an emergency, it automatically adjusts four-wheel torque to stabilize the body and decelerate safely;
Strong enough body structure: high-strength steel, high-strength aluminum, and composite materials account for 84.8% of the whole vehicle, with 2000 MPa hot-formed steel used in key areas. The 7 longitudinal and 13 transverse body frame can disperse and absorb impact force, protecting the occupant cabin;
Adequate airbag protection: 11 airbag locations, with the front passenger equipped with a 110L large-capacity airbag, and side curtain airbags supporting 6 seconds of extended pressure retention, so even in secondary collisions or rollovers, protection continues;
Battery safety has a safety net: equipped with BYD's second-generation blade battery, rigorously verified through flash charging while nail penetration, multi-scenario short circuits, and more. The battery safety that new energy users care about most is directly maxed out for you.
From active risk avoidance to passive protection, from the body to the battery, every link has been considered, so daily commuting and highway driving can both be done with peace of mind.
In fact, this product logic of "good looks, outstanding driving control, maxed-out intelligent comfort, and safety as a backstop" has already been verified by the market on the Formula Leopard Titanium 7 — the Titanium 7 became a hit right at launch, with sales to date exceeding 250,000 units, making it a true dark-horse sensation. Now with the same sincere pricing + all-around product strength, after the Equation S series lands in Beijing, it is very likely to replicate the Titanium 7's hit trajectory and become a major favorite in the 2026 sporty sedan market.
So here is the question: for an all-around sporty sedan starting at 189,900 yuan, which point excites you the most? Is it the looks, the performance, or the intelligent features?
