Cycle & Carriage, one of Malaysia’s most established automotive groups with 127 years of heritage, begins distribution operations for Leapmotor in Malaysia. This development builds on Cycle & Carriage’s partnership with Stellantis Malaysia since 2024, which marked the company’s return as a multi-brand automotive retailer.
This move comes amid accelerating growth in Malaysia’s electric vehicle market, driven by increasing consumer adoption, improving infrastructure and growing interest in technology-forward mobility solutions. As a fast-growing global brand and one of China’s most successful New Energy Vehicle (NEV) startups, Leapmotor strengthens Cycle & Carriage’s growing presence in the electrified mobility space while supporting the company’s ambition to deliver accessible premium EV experiences to Malaysian customers.
The start of distribution operations reflects Cycle & Carriage’s continued commitment to strengthening Leapmotor’s presence in Malaysia while delivering a seamless ownership journey for customers. Over the past year, the company has expanded its Leapmotor network footprint across Malaysia with locations in George Town Penang, Pavilion Bukit Jalil and Paradigm Mall Johor Bahru, alongside the opening of Leapmotor’s flagship 3S centre in Glenmarie.
Adrian Short, CEO of Cycle & Carriage, said, “We are proud to mark another significant milestone in our partnership with Stellantis Malaysia by beginning distribution operations for Leapmotor in Malaysia. We believe Malaysia is entering an exciting new phase in electric mobility adoption, with customers increasingly looking for smart, technology-driven vehicles that deliver both innovation and everyday practicality.”
“Electric mobility must not only be aspirational, it must also be accessible. Through Leapmotor, we see strong potential to bring a high-value, accessible premium EV proposition to more Malaysian customers, supported by Cycle & Carriage’s commitment to delivering exceptional journeys across every stage of ownership, from retail and aftersales to long-term customer support,” added Adrian.
Isaac Yeo, Managing Director, Stellantis ASEAN, said, "Cycle & Carriage’s role in leading Leapmotor’s distribution operations in Malaysia reflects a longstanding partnership built on our shared values, mutual trust, and commitment to delivering exceptional customer experiences. This appointment marks an important milestone in a partnership that has continued to strengthen and is backed by proven automotive expertise, an established retail network, and a customer-first approach. We believe that Cycle & Carriage is well-positioned to drive Leapmotor’s next phase of growth in Malaysia.”
By managing Leapmotor’s distribution operations, Cycle & Carriage will work closely with its dealer network in Malaysia to expand Leapmotor’s presence, strengthen customer experience and retail standards and enhance aftersales capabilities nationwide. To date, the Leapmotor network has grown to 12 sales and 6 service locations across Malaysia with more in the pipeline to open by the end of the year.
