Leapmotor posted a third consecutive monthly delivery record in June, as the Stellantis-backed automaker pressed toward a 2026 target of one million units.
The company delivered 93,376 vehicles, a 94.5% year-over-year increase and up 14.5% from the 81,569 units delivered in May.
The result brought Leapmotor to 356,487 vehicles for the first half (up 60.8% year-over-year) and to 246,332 for the second quarter, up 83.7%.
Leapmotor does not issue quarterly delivery guidance, leaving the annual run-rate as the primary yardstick.
However, one million deliveries implies a monthly average near 83,000 units across the year, a pace June cleared for the first time.
A Record-Setting Spring
Leapmotor set consecutive monthly records into the second quarter, delivering 71,387 vehicles in April, up 73.95% year-over-year, then 81,569 in May, up 80.99% and a 14.26% rise from April.
Through the first five months of 2026, Leapmotor delivered a cumulative 263,111 vehicles, up 51.5% year-over-year, a base the June print pushed well beyond a quarter of the annual goal.
The May record itself had marked an 81% annual jump when the company reported its strongest month at the time, and June extended rather than interrupted that trajectory.
Cumulative global deliveries passed 1.5 million units on June 18, the company said, taking just eight months to climb from one million.
The pace outstrips the domestic run-rates of most peers, and Europe has become the second front: registration data through the first four months put the brand on course to top 100,000 sales in the region this year, a figure that would roughly match its full-year overseas ambition.
The A10 compact SUV, launched in late March and priced below 100,000 yuan in its top trim, became a leading volume driver through the quarter, running on daily output above 1,000 units after the line moved to double shifts.
June’s 93,376 units topped the May record by 11,807, and the sequential gain confirmed that the C-series refresh and the flagship D-series ramp were pulling volume higher rather than merely holding it.
Full-Year Frame
Leapmotor aims to roughly double its 2025 deliveries of about 600,000 vehicles to one million in 2026, and targets 5 billion yuan in net profit after posting its first annual profit of 540 million yuan in 2025.
The first-half total of 356,487 represents about 35.6% of the million-unit goal, leaving a second half that must average near 107,000 units a month to close the gap.
The Product Cadence Behind the Volume
Leapmotor‘s C-series SUVs — the C10, the C11 and the C16 — remained the cornerstone of sales, combining for 103,973 deliveries from January to May, about 40% of the total.
The company launched updated versions of all three on June 16, moving the battery-electric variants to an 800-volt platform, raising motor power and extending pure-electric range to as much as 660 kilometers, with starting prices as low as 125,800 yuan.
Senior VP Cao Li had confirmed the launch schedule in early June, framing the refresh as the lever meant to carry the core lineup through the second half.
The broader offensive added the A10 compact SUV in late March, the flagship D19 large SUV in April — which topped 15,000 firm orders in its first 15 days — and the D99 luxury multi-purpose vehicle in late June, with the budget A05 hatchback slated to follow in the summer window.
June Launches
Leapmotor launched the D99, its first multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) and its entry into the premium 300,000-yuan segment, on June 25, opting for a direct launch rather than the planned pre-sales, priced from 249,800 to 319,800 yuan across six extended-range and battery-electric variants.
Deliveries are set to begin July 20.
The D99 completes a flagship-SUV-plus-flagship-MPV structure atop the D-series and pits the brand against the Denza D9, the GAC M8, the Zeekr 009, the XPeng X9 and the Li Auto Mega.
The A05 compact hatchback, the second A-series model after the A10, was positioned for a launch in the late-June to early-July window to extend the budget-segment push against rivals such as the BYD Dolphin and Geely’s Xingyuan.
On demand, Deutsche Bank’s mid-June order tracker showed Leapmotor drawing about 25,700 new orders over a fortnight, with weekly intake up 22%.
On expansion, the company deepened its Stellantis-enabled overseas push, with the partner beginning assembly of the C10 SUV at its Gurun plant in Kedah, Malaysia, and preparing further localized output, while the brand showcased its full lineup and the Lafa 5 hatchback at the 2026 Hong Kong International Motor Expo as it works to lift overseas markets toward a larger share of sales.
The build-out extends to North America, where Stellantis has been weighing Leapmotor assembly in Canada even as a separate tariff dispute over the brand’s imports drew in China’s ambassador, underscoring how quickly the export ramp has turned political.
On strategy, Leapmotor confirmed during its first-quarter call that it is planning a second brand aimed above the 300,000-yuan tier, with first products expected between late 2026 and early 2027.
