- Leapmotor has launched three new models since late March, with production capacity ramping up rapidly.
- The flagship SUV D19, launched on April 16, garnered over 15,000 firm orders in its first 15 days.
Leapmotor achieved record deliveries last month, benefiting from the release of new models and a rapid ramp-up in production capacity.
The company delivered a total of 71,387 vehicles in April, up 73.95% year-on-year and 42.69% from the previous month, according to data released by the company on Friday.
In the January-April period, Leapmotor delivered 181,542 vehicles, representing a year-on-year increase of 41.18 percent. To date, the company has delivered a cumulative total of 1,377,645 vehicles.
The record monthly delivery figures were primarily driven by strong market demand for the company's new models.
Leapmotor launched its flagship SUV, the D19, on April 16, and the model surpassed 15,000 firm orders within its first 15 days, the company said today.
The starting price range for the large SUV is set between 219,800 yuan ($32,190) and 269,800 yuan.
The company also rolled out the Lafa 5 Ultra on April 24, the first day of the Beijing Auto Show, with a limited-time starting price of 118,800 yuan.
On March 26, Leapmotor launched the A10 compact SUV, which starts at 65,800 yuan.
Currently, the daily production capacity of the Leapmotor A10 has exceeded 1,000 units, the company added today.
The Stellantis-backed automaker is accelerating its new product offensive. Its all-new A05 electric hatchback is expected to make its debut in May and officially go on sale in June.
Leapmotor delivered a record of nearly 600,000 new vehicles last year. The company's CEO previously said that, based on the strong progress in April, they are highly confident in achieving this year's target of one million units.
In May, Leapmotor launched a limited-time car purchase perk campaign. Potential buyers can currently enjoy comprehensive benefit packages worth up to 56,680 yuan.
Overseas markets are viewed by the startup as another key growth engine, with Leapmotor's future strategic goal being to gradually increase the sales contribution from overseas markets to 60 percent.
