Leapmotor’s Australian Debut with Stellantis Backing

While relatively new to Australian consumers, Leapmotor has gained a strong foothold through a partnership with Stellantis, the automotive group behind Jeep, Peugeot, and RAM. This collaboration ensures that Leapmotor vehicles benefit from an established dealer and service network, easing concerns about availability and after-sales support.

To further entice early buyers, customers who take delivery of the C10 before March 31, 2025, will receive one year of complimentary charging across the Chargefox network.
