MILAN, Sept. 12, 2025 —
Responding to yesterday’s public statement by Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa, who asserted that “in Germany Leapmotor sold more than BYD,” the company is providing clarification on its sales figures for the German market from January to August 2025:
– Over the first eight months of the year, BYD recorded 8,610 registrations, significantly ahead of Leapmotor’s 3,536 units.
– Within the Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) segments for the same timeframe, BYD achieved 5,852 BEV registrations and 2,757 PHEV registrations, exceeding Leapmotor’s 3,088 BEVs and 448 PHEVs.
Examining the wider market context during the identical period, BYD in Germany additionally:
– Outperformed Alfa Romeo, which posted only 5,226 units (with just 140 BEVs and 34 PHEVs).
– Exceeded Jeep in both the BEV segment (where the American marque registered only 350 units) and the PHEV segment (with a mere 569 units). Furthermore, BYD is quickly narrowing the gap on Jeep in overall sales, with a volume difference of just 278 units.
