Chinese NEV (new energy vehicle) startups are revealing their October sales performance. Leapmotor continued to take the lead, followed by HIMA (Harmony Intelligent Mobility Alliance), then Xpeng. Let’s take a closer look below.

Leapmotor

Leapmotor’s monthly sales exceeded 70,000 vehicles for the first time, reaching 70,289 vehicles, a year-on-year increase of over 84%. So far, Leapmotor has led the NEV Startup sales ranking for eight consecutive months in 2025.

On November 1, the Leapmotor D19 EREV crossover started pre-sale in China.

Looking ahead, the Leapmotor B05, known in China as the Lafa 5, will begin pre-sale on November 7. Then, the all-new Leapmotor A10 will debut at the Guangzhou Auto Show in late November.

HIMA

In October, HIMA also reached a new monthly high with 68,216 vehicles delivered and an average transaction price of 390,000 yuan (54,800 USD). So far, HIMA’s cumulative sales surpassed one million vehicles, making it the fastest NEV startup to achieve this milestone.

Xpeng

Xpeng delivered 42,013 vehicles, up 76% year-on-year and 1% month-on-month, the second consecutive month exceeding 40,000 units. For the first 10 months of 2025, Xpeng delivered a total of 355,209 vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 190%.

Xpeng claimed that compared to traditional gasoline-powered vehicles, the electric vehicles delivered by the brand during the same period are expected to reduce carbon emissions by more than 5.56 million tons over their entire lifecycle, equivalent to the carbon sequestration of 91.96 million medium-sized tree seedlings over 10 years.

In the same month, Xpeng entered seven more countries: Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Cambodia, Morocco, Tunisia, and Qatar.
