Shanghai, China – April 2025 – Leapmotor took center stage at the 2025 Shanghai International Auto Show, sharing its phenomenal rise as a next-generation EV leader. The brand’s expansive 1,000+ square meter stand featured the global premiere of the new Leapmotor B01 sedan, the official launch of the Leapmotor B10 SUV, and a full revelation of its worldwide product lineup, including best-seller T03.

With 2024 sales of over 300,000 units—double its volume for the previous year—Leapmotor’s presence at this year’s show represents its aggressive push into global markets, backed by its next-generation LEAP 3.5 technology architecture and strategic partnership with Stellantis.

Global-Ready Leapmotor B-Series Rolls Out

Leapmotor B-Series represents the company’s global attack on the SUV and sedan segments, with three new models—B01, B05, and B10—to be launched and completed by year-end 2025.
