Leapmotor Debuts in Indonesia at GIIAS 2026, Plans Local Production with Rp 499 Million Starting Price

Stellantis has officially introduced the electric vehicle brand Leapmotor to the Indonesian market at the GAIKINDO Indonesia International Auto Show (GIIAS) 2026. In collaboration with PT Indomobil National Distributor, the automotive giant also announced its intention to commence local production of Leapmotor vehicles in Indonesia.

This launch expands Stellantis's presence in Indonesia, which already includes the Citroen and Jeep brands. The local manufacturing will take place at PT National Assemblers' facility. Isaac Yeo, Managing Director of Stellantis ASEAN, highlighted Indonesia as a key market for Stellantis's business development in Southeast Asia. He stated that local production is integral to the company's long-term investment and commitment to growing within Indonesia.

Stellantis is implementing a "Brand House" concept, consolidating sales networks for Citroen, Jeep, and Leapmotor into a unified ecosystem. The company aims to establish 52 such outlets across various regions by the end of 2026. Local production is expected to significantly contribute to Indonesia's electric vehicle industry by increasing local employment, facilitating technology transfer, and reinforcing the automotive supply chain.

Leapmotor International CEO Tianshu Xin identified Indonesia as a priority for the brand's global expansion. He views the partnership with Stellantis and Indomobil as the crucial first step into the Indonesian market. Leapmotor, a Chinese EV manufacturer, independently develops over 65% of its core components, including powertrains, batteries, and digital cockpits. The company reported robust global sales, with 596,555 units sold in 2025 and 356,487 units in the first half of 2026. PT Indomobil National Distributor will manage Leapmotor's distribution, after-sales service, and dealer network development in Indonesia.
