LEAPMOTOR delivered an impressive performance in April 2026, achieving a historic milestone with monthly deliveries surpassing 70,000 units for the first time, reaching 71,387 vehicles. This solidifies its leading position among emerging automakers in terms of sales volume.
Following its top ranking among new automakers in the first quarter with over 110,000 deliveries, LEAPMOTOR continued its strong growth trajectory by exceeding 50,000 units in March and approaching 70,000 in April. This consistent performance demonstrates the viability of its technology democratization strategy and marks a critical transition from volume leadership to brand quality transformation.
While competitors debate market positioning, LEAPMOTOR has established a clear growth cycle through a four-step closed loop: comprehensive in-house R&D reducing costs, competitive pricing for high-quality products, frequent launch of popular models, and making smart driving technology accessible. The 70,000-unit milestone serves as a springboard for LEAPMOTOR's new growth phase.
The April delivery figure of over 70,000 units set a new monthly record for the company, strengthening its leadership position in the competitive new automaker segment. After leading new automakers with over 110,000 deliveries in the first quarter, LEAPMOTOR's jump from 50,000 units in March to 70,000 in April demonstrates not a temporary spike but a new normal of sustained high growth.
The significance of this achievement becomes clearer when viewed in a broader context. LEAPMOTOR's monthly sales volume now exceeds the recent China monthly sales of global automotive giants like Honda and Nissan, indicating the company's substantial entry into the top tier of China's passenger vehicle market. For a Chinese new automaker established just ten years ago, surpassing traditional joint venture giants that have operated in China for decades represents not only a milestone for LEAPMOTOR but also reflects the historic advancement of China's intelligent electric vehicle industry in the global competitive landscape.
The foundation of this continuous growth momentum lies in long-term strategic commitment. After leading new automakers with over 110,000 deliveries in the first quarter, LEAPMOTOR's growth cycle has accelerated rather than slowed. The company's technology democratization approach has gained broad acceptance in the highly competitive mainstream market, with this recognition rapidly converting into tangible market share.
More importantly, monthly sales exceeding 70,000 units indicate LEAPMOTOR has substantially crossed the critical threshold of scale. Long-term investments in comprehensive in-house R&D and deep vertical integration now demonstrate powerful cost control capabilities. The company's strategy of offering high-quality products at accessible prices quickly translates into market share, while increased scale further reduces R&D and manufacturing costs, creating space for next-generation technological innovation and competitive pricing. A virtuous cycle has formed between technological advantages, scale effects, and customer reputation, representing a qualitative transformation far more valuable than the sales figure itself.
LEAPMOTOR's solid sales performance proves that adhering to in-house technology development and focusing on customer value can build lasting competitive advantages in intense market competition, further consolidating its leadership position among new automakers.
LEAPMOTOR's outstanding market performance in April was primarily driven by strong support from hit models, with its full ABCD series working synergistically to form a comprehensive product matrix covering all price points and usage scenarios. The simultaneous success of two strategic models, A10 and D19, perfectly illustrates LEAPMOTOR's capability to create hits across both entry-level and premium segments, forming the strongest micro-level support for the current growth cycle.
The rise of the A10 represents a classic case of "smart driving democratization." In the 100,000-yuan price segment, the A10率先 introduced advanced "parking-to-parking" smart driving capabilities previously available only in vehicles priced above 300,000 yuan, achieving precise value breakthrough. The model received 40,000 firm orders within 28 days of launch, demonstrating strong market response. In April, the A10's delivery momentum fully materialized, becoming the core engine driving LEAPMOTOR to its new record.
More impressive than order numbers is LEAPMOTOR's systematic delivery capability. Facing explosive demand, the company全力 promoted production ramp-up, with A10 production expected to reach 26,000 units in May and 30,000 in June, fulfilling commitments to customers through full production capacity. As industry observers noted, LEAPMOTOR's ability to increase A10 production to over 1,000 units per day within one month demonstrates remarkable systematic capability.
LEAPMOTOR's systematic capability reflects comprehensive advantages in full-chain in-house R&D, deep vertical integration, supply chain management, platform-based production, and organizational efficiency. Utilizing the LEAP 3.0/3.5 architecture for high parts commonality, combined with self-built core component factories and flexible production lines, the company has established a closed loop across R&D, manufacturing, supply chain, and quality control. This enables rapid response to hit model orders, fast production ramp-up, and stable quality control and delivery efficiency – core competencies essential for new automakers transitioning from single hit products to sustainable scale. The A10's popularity represents not a temporary advantage but a long-term growth driver supported by substantial production capacity and continuous positive word-of-mouth.
While the A10 demonstrates LEAPMOTOR's breadth of market penetration, the D19 defines the brand's upward mobility. As the culmination of LEAPMOTOR's brand elevation strategy, the D19 received over 15,000 firm orders within 15 days of launch, with strong delivery momentum expected to continue in May. Starting at 219,800 yuan, the model offers full-size flagship experiences exceeding customer expectations, challenging the conventional wisdom that flagship vehicles must carry premium prices, becoming a phenomenon in the under-300,000-yuan full-size SUV segment.
The D19's technological sophistication provides the foundation for its upward breakthrough. Industry-first dual Qualcomm 8797 chips, advanced VLA AI model smart driving solutions, and dual flagship powertrain options (extended-range and pure electric) position the D19 at the pinnacle of LEAPMOTOR's decade of comprehensive in-house R&D. Its success sends a clear market signal that LEAPMOTOR can not only sell volume products in the mainstream market but also define value standards for flagship technology. The D19's success not only contributes to sales growth but also effectively raises the brand ceiling while boosting attention across the entire model lineup, achieving high-level brand momentum radiation.
If monthly sales breakthrough represents visible growth, what will determine LEAPMOTOR's long-term leadership is the strategic evolution underlying the sales curve. April's sales surge reflects the concentrated realization of technological advantages and global expansion, giving the high sales volume distinct long-term value.
2026 marks LEAPMOTOR's defined "First Year of Smart Driving," and the company's response is genuine democratization. High-level navigation assisted driving is no longer limited to expensive models but普及 to the under-100,000-yuan market. From the A10 to its full product line, LEAPMOTOR makes smart driving a standard feature accessible to all. Meanwhile, policies like free upgrades for existing owners establish a "purchase once, benefit continuously" commitment, significantly enhancing brand loyalty and trust. When technological evolution brings not anxiety about obsolescence but pleasant surprises of continuous value appreciation, this strong trust relationship drives positive word-of-mouth and repeat purchases, creating a virtuous sales cycle.
Simultaneously, LEAPMOTOR's global expansion is yielding results. The LEAPMOTOR International venture achieved profitability in its second year, with global channels exceeding 2,000. While domestic sales hit new records in April, overseas markets are rapidly becoming a strong second growth driver. First-quarter export wholesale volume exceeded 40,000 units, setting a historical record and ranking first among Chinese new automakers in overseas expansion. European markets contributed significantly: LEAPMOTOR achieved 23,300 registrations across 16 European countries, representing 726.5% year-over-year growth, with approximately 17,000 pure electric vehicle sales in 12 EU countries ranking first among Chinese pure electric brands.
This year, LEAPMOTOR plans to launch three models overseas: A10 (B03X), B10, and Lafa5 (B05), with the Lafa5 scheduled for international release starting June. This "light-asset, high-speed" global expansion model replicates the company's comprehensive in-house R&D and cost advantages worldwide, opening new growth space for continuous breakthroughs.
LEAPMOTOR's record-breaking April sales represent more than just numerical achievement. It demonstrates the concentrated market realization of LEAPMOTOR's comprehensive in-house technological capabilities and serves as an interim report card for its new growth logic. The A10's success proves the tremendous potential of "technology democratization" in the 100,000-yuan market, while the D19's strong orders confirm that customers have voted with their wallets for LEAPMOTOR's brand elevation.
From entry-level to flagship models, LEAPMOTOR's across-the-board success follows a clear growth path: creating value exceeding customer expectations through continuous technological innovation and extreme cost control, ultimately achieving market sales and customer satisfaction while leading China's intelligent electric vehicle industry onto the global stage. The 70,000-unit milestone marks a new coordinate, and LEAPMOTOR's new growth cycle has just begun.
