After closing 2025 as the number one brand among electric vehicle start-ups, Leapmotor consolidated its leadership in China also in the first months of 2026, benefiting from an increasingly complete product range and an incisive commercial strategy. The combined contribution of A, B, C, and D segment models allowed the company to position itself at the top both in the month of March and in the first quarter of the year, demonstrating not only the ability to attract customers in China but also to sustain significant volumes on the export front.

Leapmotor continues to grow in China
The month of March 2026 was particularly significant: Leapmotor delivered 50,029 vehicles between the domestic market and export, marking a growth of 34.87% on an annual basis. Overall in the first quarter, deliveries reached 110,155 units, with an increase of 25.82% compared to the same period in 2025. These numbers reflect both the growing demand for the brand’s offerings and the effectiveness of the production and distribution policies implemented. To sustain this pace, the Chinese company is accelerating the renewal and expansion of its offering, preparing the ground for upcoming commercial launches.
