Leapmotor will debut in India with two all-electric models: the entry-level, Tiago-sized hatchback called the Leapmotor T03, and the C10 electric SUV, which is slightly bigger than the Creta EV. Leapmotor is gradually expanding its presence in markets outside China. Thanks to its partnership with Stellantis, the brand will use Jeep and Citroen’s existing dealerships in India to market its cars and SUVs.
