FAQs

Carlos Tavares, the then global CEO of Stellantis, had said that the company intended to bring Leapmotor to India by Q4 of 2024, but that clearly has been delayed. There’s still no confirmation on the actual timeline.

Leapmotor is expected to begin its India innings with the T03 electric hatchback and the C10 electric SUV. More recently, the B10 electric SUV has also been patented in India, indicating it could join the brand's future product portfolio.

Leapmotor is a Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer. Outside China, the brand operates through Leapmotor International, a joint venture in which Stellantis holds a 51 percent stake and has the rights to sell, manufacture and export Leapmotor vehicles in international markets, including India.

Leapmotor is expected to compete in the mass-market electric vehicle segment. Its upcoming models are likely to rival EVs from brands such as Tata Motors, Mahindra, MG, Hyundai, BYD and VinFast, depending on the model and segment.

Stellantis is evaluating the possibility of assembling Leapmotor models in India from CKD kits before increasing localisation. However, the company has not yet announced its manufacturing or localisation plans.
