This is a particularly significant result that consolidates the positive trend started in the first months of the year. In the first five months of 2026, Leapmotor distributed a total of 263,111 vehicles, with an increase of 51.51% compared to the same period in 2025.
Numbers that position the brand among the most dynamic players in the global EV sector.
The strategy
«These results confirm the solidity of our strategy and the strong market response both in China and abroad», the management implicitly commented with the released figures, highlighting how the combination of competitive products and sustained demand is producing concrete effects.
International expansion and strategic shift
Parallel to sales growth, Leapmotor is also accelerating on the internationalization front. During June, the new B05 electric hatchback will enter 28 foreign markets, marking a key step in the brand’s history.
Until today, Leapmotor had mainly focused on accessible models aimed at the general public. With the launch of the B05, the company initiates a true positioning evolution: the goal is to conquer higher value-added segments, attracting more demanding customers and diversifying the global offering.
This move is part of a broader strategy of launching premium models which should allow Leapmotor to improve margins and brand awareness outside Chinese borders, where competition in the low-cost segment is becoming increasingly fierce.
A rapidly rising player
With record sales, an expanding product portfolio, and a rapidly growing international presence, Leapmotor is poised to play an increasingly significant role in the future of electric mobility. The Chinese brand demonstrates its ability to combine high volumes with global ambitions, at a time when the EV sector is undergoing a phase of consolidation and selection of key players.
It remains to be seen if the current pace will be sustainable in the coming months, especially in a context of price tension and possible new trade barriers. For now, however, the numbers speak for themselves: Leapmotor is running strong and does not seem intent on slowing down.
