Leapmotor ranks first among new forces in the first half of the year
In the first half of 2025, competition in the new energy vehicle market was fierce, and sales performance among brands became more differentiated.
Leapmotor ranks first among new forces, with cumulative deliveries reaching 221,700 vehicles in the first half of the year. As of June 18, its cumulative deliveries have exceeded 800,000 vehicles. In the first half of this year, Leapmotor's sales continued to grow steadily, with sales exceeding 40,000 vehicles for several consecutive months, showing strong growth resilience.

Xpeng Motors delivered a total of 197,200 vehicles from January to June, breaking the brand's half-year sales record and exceeding the full-year delivery volume in 2024.
NIO delivered 114,200 vehicles in the first half of the year, a year-on-year increase of 30.57%.

NIO said that it will launch three new cars in the second half of the year, which is expected to continue the growth trend.
The cumulative sales volume of the Zeekr brand in the first half of the year was 90,700 vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 3.27%.
The China Passenger Car Association believes that June is an important node for the first half of the year's performance, and merchants are willing to increase sales. At present, the auto market is performing well, and vehicle manufacturers are strengthening consumption promotion and stabilizing expectations. The high growth of the passenger car industry continues to stabilize domestic demand. It is expected that as the demand for car purchases after the college entrance examination is gradually released, the demand for self-driving cars during the summer vacation will drive the auto market to maintain a good level of heat.
