Gasgoo Munich- On Oct. 1, Leapmotor released its global delivery figures for September: 105,656 units handed over, a 59% year-on-year jump. This marks several consecutive months where monthly sales have topped 100,000 units.

On the globalization front, Leapmotor shipped more than 27,000 units overseas in September, bringing its total exports for the first nine months to over 150,000. That figure beats the company's export target for 2026 ahead of schedule. By the end of September 2026, cumulative global deliveries had surpassed 1.8 million, with a footprint spanning more than 45 countries and regions. In Europe alone, the company operates over 1,000 sales and service outlets, while registration volumes place it among the top three pure-electric players in core markets like France, Germany, Italy, and Spain.
Driving this sustained growth in sales and globalization is a backbone of technology. On Sept. 16, the company hosted its 2026 Tech Launch, unveiling a suite of core innovations including the new LEAP 5.0 vehicle architecture, the LWM world model for autonomous driving, the MM-1 multi-modal hybrid powertrain, and CTC 3.0 battery technology with high-low voltage integration. "We don't innovate just for show," said Zhu Jiangming, Leapmotor's founder, chairman, and CEO. "Every innovation unveiled here will be integrated into our next-generation products, making great technology accessible to everyone."
On the product front, Leapmotor is set to showcase models including the D19 and A05 at the 2026 Paris Motor Show, which opens on Oct. 12. The D19, a flagship SUV, embodies the brand's move upmarket and its global product definition capabilities. Meanwhile, the A05 — a new addition to the A-platform — brings 510 km of range and LiDAR to the sub-100,000 yuan pure-electric sedan segment, backed by competitive pricing.
Taken as a whole, Leapmotor's performance in September wasn't driven by sales growth alone. It was the result of a synchronized push across technology, products, and globalization.
Handing over more than 100,000 units for months on end proves that Leapmotor's scale base remains solid. Beating export targets early and leading in European channel expansion and registrations signals that the company's globalization strategy has moved beyond merely "going global" to a stage of sustained sales leadership. Looking ahead, as the positive feedback loop of "technology-product-sales" continues to strengthen, Leapmotor is poised to climb higher in the global new-energy market rankings.
