Leapmotor posts 1st annual profit as EV sales double

• Leapmotor's net income came in at 540 million yuan ($78.3 million) in 2025, marking the company's first full-year profit.

• The company's revenue doubled to 64.73 billion yuan as annual vehicle deliveries surged 103% to nearly 600,000 units.

Leapmotor reported its first full-year profit as it maintained strong delivery momentum throughout 2025.

The Stellantis-backed Chinese electric vehicle maker posted a net income of 540 million yuan ($78.3 million) in 2025, becoming the second Chinese EV startup after Li Auto to achieve annual profitability, according to its financial report released Monday.

The company's revenue for 2025 surged 101.3% from a year earlier to a record 64.73 billion yuan.

Leapmotor delivered 596,555 new vehicles in 2025, representing a 103.1% year-on-year increase.

As of the end of 2025, the company held 37.88 billion yuan in cash and maintained positive free cash flow.

China FAW Group invested 3.74 billion yuan in the company at the end of December, which diluted the stake of its largest external shareholder, Stellantis, to 18.99%.

The company's globalization strategy is accelerating, with exports reaching 67,052 units in 2025, ranking first among Chinese EV startups.

Leapmotor plans to roll out new products in its four major product series — A, B, C, and D — in 2026, with the all-new A10 model officially launching on March 26.

The company had originally planned to begin pre-sales for the A10 on March 26.

Leapmotor aims to deliver more than 1 million vehicles in 2026.

PEUGEOT PRESENTS ITS NEW ‘TURBO 100’ ENGINE. DESIGNED TO EXTEND DRIVING PLEASURE.

• PEUGEOT is introducing a new “Turbo 100” petrol engine, on the PEUGEOT 208 and 2008.

• Increased driving pleasure thanks to a new variable-geometry turbocharger, offering dynamic pick-up and acceleration at low revs.

• Improved efficiency through a new high‑pressure direct injection system.

• Enhanced reliability thanks to the adoption of a timing chain.

   

Electric, hybrid or combustion, engines — whatever their power — are at the heart of PEUGEOT’s driving pleasure. PEUGEOT engineers have designed a new petrol engine, the Turbo 100, which elevates sensations and performance to the next level while offering optimised efficiency and reliability.

The Turbo 100 is a third‑generation engine which incorporates 70% new components by value. This includes key elements such as the timing chain, turbocharger, injection system, pistons, cylinder block, and more.

The Turbo 100 engine will be available on the PEUGEOT 208 from March 2026, followed by the PEUGEOT 2008, from May 2026.

 

Guaranteed driving pleasure in all conditions.

The Turbo 100 engine is a 3‑cylinder unit of 1,199 cm³ delivering a maximum output of 101 hp (74 kW) at 5,500 rpm and offering maximum torque of 205 Nm from 1,750 rpm.

The new variable‑geometry turbocharger optimises engine response at low revs, making urban driving and overtaking manoeuvres easier, and ensuring complete driving pleasure in all conditions.

 

Optimised efficiency

Fuel consumption and emissions control for the Turbo 100 engine are ensured by a new high‑pressure direct injection system (350 bar), the introduction of a valve timing system that reduces internal friction, as well as new piston heads and operation based on the Miller cycle with a high compression ratio, improving the thermal efficiency of combustion.

 

Enhanced reliability

For increased driving pleasure, the Turbo 100 engine is equipped with a timing chain, with superior durability. The engine block, pistons and rings are also new and designed to contribute to overall robustness and controlled oil consumption.

During its development, the Turbo 100 engine underwent particularly demanding endurance tests in extreme conditions, with more than 30,000 hours on test benches reproducing all driving situations. Prototype vehicles equipped with the Turbo 100 totalled more than 3 million kilometres, with several vehicles exceeding 200,000 kilometres — clear proof of the engine’s reliability.

For complete peace of mind, the PEUGEOT 208 and 2008 equipped with the Turbo 100 engine will, of course, benefit — like all models within the PEUGEOT brand — from the PEUGEOT CARE programme, offering a warranty of up to 8 years/160,000 km*.

 

Reduced maintenance

Models fitted with the new Turbo 100 engine will benefit from a reduced maintenance schedule, with a single service every 2 years/25,000 km (previously every 1 year/20,000 km), with an annual interim check.
