Leapmotor Delivers Record 50,129 NEVs in July, Leading China’s Start-Up Pack

In a bold display of momentum and market strength, Leapmotor has set a new benchmark in China’s increasingly competitive new energy vehicle (NEV) sector. The Hangzhou-based automaker delivered a record-breaking 50,129 vehicles in July 2025, representing a staggering 126% year-over-year (YoY) growth and officially marking the company’s highest-ever monthly sales performance.

This milestone not only breaks new ground for Leapmotor but also propels the brand into an exclusive league—crossing the 50,000-unit monthly threshold for the first time in its history. This achievement cements Leapmotor’s reputation as one of China’s most dynamic NEV start-ups, both in terms of delivery volume and innovation.

Number One Among NEV Start-Ups in July

Leapmotor’s July success earned it the #1 ranking among NEV start-ups in China, outpacing competitors in a crowded field that includes the likes of NIO, XPeng, and Hozon Auto. The brand’s dominance is particularly notable given the intense pressure in China’s auto market, where affordability, electrification, and smart technology are reshaping consumer preferences.

Analysts point to Leapmotor’s growing appeal in both domestic and international markets as a key driver behind its latest performance. With export volumes steadily increasing and domestic demand showing no signs of slowing, the company appears to have found the right formula—balancing advanced tech with price accessibility.

Building on a Strong First Half of 2025

The July milestone builds upon Leapmotor’s already impressive first-half performance in 2025, where it also led NEV start-ups in total deliveries. With a product lineup that emphasizes intelligent systems, contemporary design, and competitive pricing, Leapmotor has been steadily gaining ground across multiple vehicle segments.

Its strong brand momentum is bolstered by positive consumer feedback and industry recognition, particularly for models like the C10 and T03, which have been praised for their intuitive tech integration and value proposition.

Shaping the Future of Chinese Mobility

Leapmotor’s trajectory underscores a larger shift in China’s NEV industry—one that favors agility, tech-first development, and responsiveness to consumer expectations. As the nation accelerates its transition to electrified mobility, Leapmotor is positioning itself not just as a viable alternative to legacy brands, but as a leader redefining the future of transportation.

With demand surging and innovation at the core of its strategy, Leapmotor’s record-breaking July could be a glimpse of even bigger milestones on the horizon.

Leapmotor B10 Brings Premium EV Tech Under €30K

As electric vehicles continue to reshape the European automotive landscape, few brands are making bolder moves than Leapmotor. The Chinese EV manufacturer is stepping firmly into the heart of the European market with its new compact SUV—the Leapmotor B10. With order books opening on July 30th in selected markets, the B10 arrives not just as another electric SUV, but as a compelling proposition in the fiercely competitive C-segment.

A Bold Leap into Europe’s Biggest Segment

The C-segment, long dominated by compact hatchbacks and crossovers, has seen a massive shift toward electrification—and SUVs continue to be the most dynamic body type in the market. With the B10, Leapmotor isn’t just entering the segment; it’s targeting the sweet spot of volume, growth, and customer demand.

Priced from €29,900 (market-dependent), the B10 stands out as one of the most competitively positioned electric SUVs in its class—clearly aiming to undercut established rivals on value while offering impressive features as standard.

Exterior Design: Youthful Elegance Meets Urban Dynamism

The B10’s design language is modern yet understated, with smooth curves and crisp lines that lend it a contemporary, youthful presence. The front fascia is clean and purposeful, with strong horizontal elements and bold proportions that strike a balance between elegance and athleticism.

Its dimensions—4,515 mm long, 1,885 mm wide, and 1,655 mm high—are perfectly tailored to European city streets while offering an assertive stance. It rides on stylish 18-inch alloy wheels, and every trim features a panoramic glass roof with an electric sunshade, enhancing the light-filled, open feel of the cabin.

Interior: Space, Simplicity, and Smart Tech

Inside, the B10 impresses with a bright, spacious cabin built around a striking 14.6-inch 2.5K floating touchscreen, powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8155 chip. The interface is fluid, responsive, and offers a smartphone-like user experience, with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto coming via OTA updates by December 2025.

The materials and layout reflect a minimalist yet inviting aesthetic, particularly in the DESIGN trim, which adds ECO leather seating, ambient lighting, and heated, ventilated, and electrically adjustable front seats. The clever use of space means the B10 boasts 2,390 mm of rear seat legroom, 1,400 mm of rear passenger width, and standout headroom—making it one of the roomiest cabins in its class.

Versatility is another strong suit, with 22 smart storage compartments and flexible seating arrangements that allow the cabin to morph from commuter-ready to weekend adventure mode effortlessly.

Performance and Platform: Purpose-Built for the EV Era

Underpinning the B10 is Leapmotor’s new LEAP3.5 architecture, a platform built with global aspirations and local sensibilities in mind. The electric motor delivers 218 hp and 240 Nm, enabling a 0–100 km/h sprint in 8 seconds and a top speed of 170 km/h—respectable figures for a compact family SUV.

Two battery options are available:

  • 56.2 kWh with 361 km WLTP range
  • 67.1 kWh with 434 km WLTP range

Both support 11 kW AC charging and up to 168 kW DC fast charging, with a 30–80% top-up in just 20 minutes—ideal for drivers on the go.

Intelligent Features for Modern Lifestyles

The B10’s tech arsenal is impressive for its segment and price. The LEAP OS 4.0 Plus system brings a fully digital cockpit with multi-application display, scenario-based driving modes, and full remote control via the Leapmotor app. A total of 17 ADAS features, including adaptive cruise control, lane keeping, and automatic emergency braking, provide a comprehensive safety net, with Leapmotor targeting a five-star Euro NCAP rating.

Its chassis has been fine-tuned with input from Stellantis engineers, giving it a well-balanced ride with a 50:50 weight distribution and multi-link rear suspension—an uncommon feature at this price point.

Final Verdict: Disruptive Value with a Premium Edge

The Leapmotor B10 arrives at a pivotal time in Europe’s EV shift. It doesn’t aim to be just another compact electric SUV—it wants to be the electric SUV for a new generation of urban, tech-oriented, eco-conscious drivers.

With its blend of style, space, technology, and affordability, the B10 looks set to punch above its weight. If Leapmotor can deliver on its promises of quality and service, this might be the start of something significant—not just for the brand, but for how we define value in the electric age.

2026 Leapmotor C10 REEV with a range of 950 km

At the 2023 Munich Motor Show, Chinese company Leapmotor unveiled its new mid-size crossover SUV, the C10. It is the first car developed after Stellantis formed a joint venture with Leapmotor, and the Chinese company is announcing the arrival of a new version of this model, the Leapmotor C10 REEV with a range of almost 1,000 km.

The Leapmotor C10 REEV is a special variant of the C10, which is already on sale in the Netherlands, and will make its debut at the Brussels Motor Show. It will be just the beginning of an expansion to other European markets where Stellantis expects good results.

The car is powered by a single electric motor with 215 hp (158 kW) combined with a 1.5-L gasoline engine. It is equipped with a 28.4 kWh battery that allows a range of 145 kilometers, which is equivalent to many of the latest generation plug-in hybrid cars, but now the total range has been increased to 950 kilometers. The petrol engine acts as a generator, producing electricity, charging the battery and increasing the range. The battery is charged in just 18 minutes thanks to a 65 kW charger. It should also be noted that fuel consumption is very low, only 0.4 l/100 km.

In Europe, the car is currently only available in the Netherlands at a price of 39,050 euros.
