“What makes Leapmotor unique is we’re backed by the extensive and experienced Stellantis UK retailer network and aftersales care, which in turn guarantees unrivalled peace of mind for customers,” said Damien Dally, Leapmotor UK Managing Director. “The combination of our cutting-edge technology, exceptional specification, value for money, and an established dealer infrastructure means that, unlike with other car brands joining the UK market, buyers will not be taking a leap into the unknown when choosing a Leapmotor.”
Leapmotor’s UK launch aligns with its broader European expansion. The company recently increased its sales network to 450 points across 14 countries, with a target of 600 outlets by year-end. Stellantis, which acquired a 20% stake in Leapmotor in 2023, has been instrumental in bringing the Chinese EV brand to European markets through a joint venture.
