Leapmotor Lands In The UK With ‘Value Without Compromise’ Electric Vehicles

The Leapmotor T03 and C10 electric vehicles go on sale today as the new car brand looks to bring a ‘value without compromise’ proposition to the UK.

With T03 prices starting at an eye-catchingly affordable £15,995, or £199* a month, and 0% APR PCP finance deals, the new Leapmotor line-up delivers the best value of any electric car brand, offering the highest levels of quality, specification and technology as standard across all models.

A result of a unique partnership between Stellantis, one of the largest automotive brands in the world, and leading Chinese company in the technology field, Leapmotor, this represents a bold new sales model for an EV brand in the UK.

The international joint venture is led by 51% stakeholder Stellantis, which has an unrivalled 130 years of history in the UK automotive sector, plus the know-how of 14 international brands and a global presence in over 170 countries.

Crucially for the UK, the pioneering partnership starts with 44 Leapmotor retailers, which will expand to more than 80 by the end of 2025.

All are part of the existing Stellantis network, giving Leapmotor and its customers ultimate peace of mind through access to its experienced staff, plus its long-standing aftersales network and logistics infrastructure. All Leapmotor products are covered by a comprehensive four-year warranty, while the battery features a separate eight-year guarantee.

Underpinned by Leapmotor’s exceptional capabilities in research, development, and production techniques, T03 and C10 exceed market standards for technology. A single, extremely well-equipped specification for both the T03 and C10 ensures exceptional value and makes choosing a model simplicity itself.

Damien Dally, Leapmotor UK Managing Director, said: “These exciting new electric cars epitomise our bold mission to be the best value EV brand in the UK by delivering the highest level of specification and the highest level of technology, as standard. We believe customers shouldn’t have to compromise on quality for affordability and that this is truly a value without compromise proposition for UK car buyers.

“What makes Leapmotor unique is we’re backed by the extensive and experienced Stellantis UK retailer network and aftersales care, which in turn guarantees unrivalled peace of mind for customers. The combination of our cutting-edge technology, exceptional specification, value for money and an established dealer infrastructure means that, unlike with other car brands joining the UK market, buyers will not be taking a leap into the unknown when choosing a Leapmotor.”
