Thanks to Stellantis, this ambitious Chinese brand already has over 1,000 sales outlets in Europe.

Having recently entered the European market with Stellantis’ support, Leapmotor is rapidly expanding its network. The Chinese brand now has 1,020 sales outlets on the Old Continent, including 147 in France. This expansion aligns with the growth of its product lineup and sales in Europe.

When a Chinese brand enters Europe, offering competitive cars is not enough. It’s also necessary to convince drivers that they can easily find a dealership, test their future vehicle, and most importantly, get it serviced. In this regard, Leapmotor has an advantage that many of its competitors lack: Stellantis. The company handles Leapmotor’s distribution outside of China.

Already 147 Sales Locations in France

Leapmotor has just surpassed the 1,000 sales location mark in Europe. As of September 2026, the brand claimed exactly 1,020 locations across 36 countries. France holds a significant position within this network with 147 sales locations. On average, European customers are only 22 minutes away from a Leapmotor sales location.

The network continues to expand, with recent openings in Norway and the Balkans and more planned before the end of the year. This growth relies heavily on the joint venture Leapmotor International, established with Stellantis. The Franco-Italian-American group enables the Chinese automaker to leverage its existing distribution and after-sales network on the continent.

A significant shortcut at a time when other Chinese brands such as BYD, Xpeng, and others must build their European networks almost from scratch.

Europe Becomes Increasingly Important for Leapmotor

This commercial presence is accompanied by strong growth in sales volumes. Leapmotor claims to have delivered 103,129 vehicles worldwide in August 2026, marking the second consecutive month with over 100,000 units delivered. Notably, Europe accounted for 27% of the brand’s global deliveries that month, a record high.

The model lineup available in France has also expanded. In addition to the Leapmotor T03, B10, and C10, new models such as the B03, B05, and B03X have been added over time. With its now well-structured network, Leapmotor is gradually overcoming one of the main challenges faced by new automotive brands.

As they say, all that’s left to do is go ahead!
