The rapid production ramp-up of the B01 sets the stage for Leapmotor to accelerate its sales growth in the second half of the year. Following this, the company is also progressing with its D-series lineup. On July 28, senior executives Cao Li and Xu Jun revealed that the first full-size SUV in the D series is now undergoing summer testing, with an expected price targeting the ¥300,000 ($41,696) range.

In terms of sales performance, Leapmotor delivered over 220,000 vehicles in the first half of 2025, marking a year-on-year growth of over 150%, and achieving 44% of its annual target of 500,000 units. A significant driver behind this growth is the B-series, launched this year.

In addition to the B01, the first model in the B-series, the B10, has also delivered impressive results. In June, Leap Motor delivered a total of 48,006 vehicles, with 14,316 units of the B10, accounting for nearly one-third of the total sales, providing a critical boost to the overall growth of the brand.
