Chengdu Auto Show 2026: Leapmotor A10 and NIO ES8 Reach New Delivery Milestones
The 2026 Chengdu Auto Show, which opened on August 21, brought another strong signal of the growing competitiveness of China’s new energy vehicle market. Two important delivery milestones attracted attention: the Leapmotor A10 reached its 100,000th delivery, while the NIO ES8 reached its 140,000th delivery.
These milestones highlight the rapidly growing demand for Chinese electric vehicles and the expanding product strength of China’s NEV manufacturers.
Leapmotor A10 Reaches 100,000 Deliveries
At the opening of the 2026 Chengdu Auto Show, Leapmotor officially delivered the 100,000th A10.
The milestone is particularly notable because the A10 is positioned as a compact electric SUV within Leapmotor’s growing A-series lineup.
The rapid delivery growth demonstrates strong consumer interest in affordable and practical Chinese EVs, while also strengthening Leapmotor’s position in the global new energy vehicle market.
For international buyers, the A10 is interesting because it combines:
- Compact SUV practicality
- Pure electric power
- Modern intelligent technology
- Competitive pricing
- Urban-friendly dimensions
Leapmotor is also expanding its international lineup with models including the T03, B10, C01, C10, C11, D19 and LAFA.
NIO ES8 Reaches 140,000 Deliveries
Another major milestone at the Chengdu Auto Show was the 140,000th delivery of the NIO ES8.
As one of NIO’s flagship SUVs, the ES8 represents the premium side of China’s EV industry. Its strong cumulative deliveries demonstrate that Chinese premium electric vehicles are increasingly attracting buyers beyond the entry-level market.
The ES8 focuses on:
- Premium cabin comfort
- Intelligent driving technology
- High-performance electric power
- Spacious SUV practicality
- Advanced battery and charging technology
The latest generation of the ES8 further strengthens NIO’s position in the premium electric SUV segment.
