Leapmotor Hits 1.5 Million Cumulative Sales, Accelerates Global Expansion

As of June 18, 2026, Leapmotor has achieved cumulative sales of 1.5 million vehicles. Notably, its third 500,000 units were sold in just eight months—significantly faster than the first two phases. In May 2026 alone, Leapmotor delivered 81,569 vehicles, becoming the first new-energy vehicle (NEV) startup brand to surpass 80,000 monthly deliveries. In overseas markets, Leapmotor exported over 75,000 vehicles from January to May 2026, including 20,168 units in May—the highest among all NEV startups. Leveraging its joint venture with Stellantis, Leapmotor’s global strategy has enabled entry into more than 40 countries and regions worldwide, establishing nearly 1,000 sales and after-sales service outlets, over 850 of which are located in Europe. In the European market, Leapmotor has earned multiple professional accolades: it ranked first among new brands in the 2025 German dealer satisfaction survey and, in its debut participation in the UK NFDA (National Franchised Dealers Association) review in 2026, immediately entered the top five for customer satisfaction. Additionally, Leapmotor has deepened its collaboration with Stellantis, advancing localized production in Spain and already achieving local vehicle assembly or production in Malaysia, Myanmar, Uzbekistan, and other markets. On the product front, Leapmotor has built a comprehensive lineup spanning price points from RMB 50,000 to RMB 250,000, covering segments A through D and including both SUVs and sedans. Over 65% of its components are independently developed and manufactured in-house, encompassing core technologies such as central domain control architecture, triple-electric systems (battery, motor, and electronic control), intelligent cockpits, and smart chassis. Leapmotor International, the joint venture between Leapmotor and Stellantis, achieved annual profitability in its second year of operation. Leapmotor emphasizes an overseas expansion model centered on “shared channels + co-built capacity,” distinguishing itself from pure整车 exports or light-asset agency models by prioritizing localized operations and long-term brand building. In 2026, the Leapmotor Lafa5 launched in Hong Kong and 28 other countries globally, marking the company’s commitment to integrating multi-regional standards from the earliest stages of product development—realizing a “China-defined, global-standard” approach. The company also adheres to its “premium yet affordable” philosophy, leveraging full-stack in-house R&D to control costs and deliver high-specification products across all price segments. Today, Leapmotor has transitioned from a China-centric business model to a dual-engine growth strategy driven by both domestic and international markets, with its overseas operations now functioning as a strategically independent and self-sustaining pillar.
