The Stellantis-Leapmotor JV, Leapmotor International, has announced cuts of around 10% to its all-electric car prices in the UK car market.
Leapmotor says the ‘Leap-grant’ reductions are immediately available on its China-built models and are ahead of the UK government’s new BEV grants which will be introduced shortly (full details on implementation still unclear). Effectively, they come into effect a few weeks before the UK gov grants apply and act as a temporary pre-grants discount.
From 18th July, the brand says it is is flipping the switch with its own self-funded EV grant – offering up to £3,750 off its electric car range immediately. That makes the T03 5-door electric city car available at just £14,495 OTR (on the road), and the C10 family SUV available from £32,750 OTR – both available with 0% APR finance.
Leapmotor says the move gives its buyers clarity and savings now, while the government scheme still remains to kick in for UK car buyers.
“Our mission is to help make the leap to electric cars easy for UK drivers,” said Damien Dally, Managing Director, Leapmotor UK. “We’ve decided to act now because we want to give customers clarity, confidence, and immediate savings – and make the switch to electric a simple choice.”
The Leapmotor T03 is a compact electric city car which offers up to 165 miles range (WLTP), rapid DC charging, 10 ADAS features and many premium touches as standard, including a panoramic sunroof, adaptive cruise control, rear parking camera with sensors, keyless start, and 10.1″ touchscreen.
The C10 is described by Leapmotor as a spacious, tech-rich, large electric family SUV offering up to 263 miles of range (WLTP). It comes with premium features such as a panoramic sunroof, 360-degree camera, heated steering wheel and seats, 12-speaker audio and dual HD displays.
The C10 also comes with intelligent ambient lighting, vehicle-to-load (V2L) charging, a heat pump, power tailgate and a five-star Euro NCAP rating with multiple advanced driver assistance systems.
Furthermore, every Leapmotor vehicle is backed by a ‘comprehensive four-year warranty’, while the battery is covered by a separate eight-year guarantee, it says.
Leapmotor International is Stellantis-led JV company – with a 51/49 ownership split between Stellantis and China-based Leapmotor.
