Leapmotor's A10 has entered one of China's most competitive price bands with unusual ambition. Over one weekend, firm orders for the model exceeded 9,000 units, a result founder Zhu Jiangming called better than expected.

At a time when much of China’s automotive industry is tightening its belt, one company is doing the opposite.

 Leapmotor delivered 70,289 vehicles in October, crossing the 70,000-unit monthly threshold for the first time and growing more than 84 per cent year on year.  

Leapmotor has become one of the clearest growth stories in China's EV market.
