With the official price tag released, the D19 turns into a dangerous rival for many full-size crossovers. Its core rivals include the Geely Galaxy M9 and the Deepal S09. Both these cars have almost two times smaller batteries. The vast majority of PHEV and EREV car buyers in China prefer to drive most of the time in BEV mode. It seems that Leapmotor may become the optimal choice for such buyers, taking market share from competitors. Leapmotor global sales by quarter.
