Overview
- Leapmotor’s Argentina plan, which Stellantis detailed Tuesday, targets a mid-2026 start with the B10 and C10 sport-utility vehicles.
- The rollout begins with 11 dealer groups, 12 sales sites and 22 service points across major cities to handle sales and maintenance from day one.
- Stellantis secured a government quota that waives import tariffs for approved hybrids and EVs with a free-on-board price up to $16,000, covering the B10 and C10.
- Prices for China-built electrified cars typically land between about $21,000 and $32,000 in Argentina after taxes and margins, which sets expectations for Leapmotor’s positioning.
- Stellantis is the commercial and after-sales partner and holds a reported 51% stake in Leapmotor International outside China, and coverage also notes a plan to add Brazil production in 2027 to supply the region.
