Leapmotor Enters Argentina Through Stellantis Distribution Network

Stellantis announced on July 14 that it has officially introduced the Leapmotor brand in Argentina, marking the Chinese automaker's first entry into the country through Stellantis' established distribution network. The launch expands Leapmotor's presence in South America and leverages Stellantis' nationwide infrastructure to provide customers with broad sales and aftersales support from the beginning of operations.

Nationwide Sales and Service Network Supports Market Entry

Leapmotor will start its business in Argentina with 12 dedicated sales outlets and 20 aftersales service centers. According to Stellantis, this makes Leapmotor the first Chinese automotive brand to enter the Argentine market with a nationwide retail and service network backed by the company. Customers will also have access to more than 300 Stellantis service locations along with Mopar parts distribution, strengthening vehicle maintenance and ownership support across the country.

Initial Vehicle Lineup Features REEV Technology

The first models offered in Argentina will be the B10 C-segment SUV and the C10 D-segment SUV. Both vehicles are equipped with Leapmotor's Range Extended Electric Vehicle (REEV) technology, combining electric driving capability with an estimated driving range of approximately 900–1,000 km. Stellantis stated that this technology is intended to reduce range anxiety while encouraging greater adoption of electrified vehicles throughout South America.
