Leapmotor Europe: Complete Brand Guide 2026

Leapmotor Europe arrived differently: instead of building its own dealer network, it joined forces with Stellantis in a 51/49 joint venture. That meant 600+ sales and service points from day one—a huge advantage over brands starting from zero. I’ve visited Stellantis dealers selling Leapmotor alongside Fiat and Peugeot; the setup feels established, not experimental. With models from €18,900 (T03) and Polish production for the T03, Leapmotor Europe is one of the most accessible Chinese EV brands. This guide covers the partnership, models, and buying. For the T03 and B10 in detail, see our T03 guide and B10 guide; for budget options, the cheapest Chinese EVs.
