Leapmotor, an EV manufacturer known for its technological innovation, is available at five of Drive’s sites across the UK, including Aldershot, Bristol North, Bury St Edmunds, Darlington, and Leamington Spa. The vehicles have arrived at these locations and are available to be test-driven.

This expansion follows Leapmotor's recent joint venture with Stellantis in May 2024, aimed at strengthening their presence in the European market. Customers will have access to Leapmotor's range of vehicles, including the T03 and C10 models, available in both pure electric and extended-range dual-power options.

“Their innovative technology, including the industry's first Eight-in-One Electric Drive System, combined with a wide range of safety features, such as advanced emergency braking and adaptive cruise control, positions us to better serve the growing demand for electric vehicles in the UK market.

“We are excited to offer our customers greater choice and access to the latest developments in sustainable automotive technology."
