So far this year, Leapmotor is the 14th best selling EV producer in 13 European countries, according to data collated by EU-EVs.com. With 11,697 sales, the Chinese EV brand accounted for 3% of this market.

Now, the company is planning to bring three more EV models to Europe, doubling the number of models it sells there. That’s according to Danilo Annese, head of commercial operations Europe for Leapmotor International.

In late February, Leapmotor announced it was rapidly expanding its dealer and service network in Europe. “Driven by robust sales results — particularly for the T03, its fully electric city car, and the C10, a D-segment SUV available in both all-electric and hybrid variants — and supported by the successful launch of Leapmotor B10, a fully electric C-segment SUV, as well as an attractive pipeline of upcoming vehicles including the B10 Hybrid EV with range extender, the B05 BEV hatchback, and the B03X fully electric crossover, Leapmotor is experiencing strong and accelerating momentum among investors, partners, and dealers,” the company wrote.

The company added that it had entered a bunch of new European markets in 2025 — Bulgaria, Croatia, Hungary, Czech Republic, Denmark, Iceland, Ireland, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Sweden. Additionally, “Leapmotor has already secured more than 800 Points of Sales and Service in Europe, doubling the size of the network vs 2024, marking a major milestone in the rollout of its European dealer and repairer network.”

A few days ago, the company also announced it had launched an innovation center in Germany. It’s called the Leapmotor Europe Innovation Centre GmbH. “The first European Innovation Center is located in Schwabing‑Freimann, one of Munich’s most dynamic districts for culture, technology, and automotive innovation, and with a vibrant community of leading global design and engineering talent,” the company writes. “This is the first innovation center set up by Leapmotor outside China, marking the strategic leap of the brand from product export to design going overseas, and promoting the globalization process to a new stage.”

Following that was some flowery language about vehicle design that is apparently ubiquitous across the industry, and also some notes on the coming B03X that Leapmotor is hyping up. It’s clear they want this model to be a big hit in Europe. “At the event, Yu Shuyue, head of the global design center of Leapmotor, introduced the design concept of Leapmotor with the new B03X as an example. Leapmotor B03X is committed to creating a new benchmark for world-class SUVs with global aesthetics, based on scientific and technological natural aesthetics 2.0, inheriting and strengthening the family design DNA, showing the unique charm of Chinese technology and global aesthetic resonance.” Well, that all sounds good. We’ll see if European consumers take to it as much as they are “supposed to.” Setting a new benchmark in a popular vehicle class, one would expect it to be one of the market’s top seller. We’ll see if that’s what ends up happening or if Leapmotor is talking up its coming model a bit too much.

In any case, setting up an innovation center in Germany sounds like a good idea if the company wants to embed itself in Europe and reach several multiples of its current sales there.
