TREE NEWS reports: Leapmotor International CEO Danilo Annese said at the Paris Motor Show that pure electric vehicles now account for as much as 90% of the brand’s European sales, with overall European volumes exceeding the company’s earlier expectations. Leapmotor also unveiled the D19 SUV, which is equipped with a range extender, and said it is weighing how to make further use of its European production capacity.
Leapmotor Europe EV Mix Hits 90% as Sales Beat Forecasts
The 90% EV mix is a striking signal that Leapmotor's European buyers are leaning almost entirely electric, which matters for how the brand positions itself against rivals still carrying heavy hybrid line-ups. The simultaneous unveiling of a range-extender D19 cuts against that trend, suggesting the company is hedging on powertrain strategy rather than committing fully. The open question is how Leapmotor resolves its European production capacity — whether the range extender is built locally or imported will shape both its cost base and its exposure to tariffs.
