Asia Pacific Honors Shangrila Motors as Top Leapmotor Partner

In a major win for Nepal’s electric vehicle (EV) industry, Shangrila Motors Pvt. Ltd., the official distributor of Leapmotor in Nepal, has been awarded the prestigious title of “Outstanding Leapmotor Distributor – India & Asia Pacific (IAP)” at the Leapmotor Global Dealer’s Meet held on November 6 in Thailand.

This recognition catapults Shangrila Motors into the spotlight as a standout performer among Leapmotor’s expansive network across Asia. The award reflects the distributor’s exceptional achievements in sales performance, customer satisfaction, and market development, marking a proud moment not just for the company but for Nepal’s automotive future.

While the Asia Pacific EV market is intensely competitive, with players from India, Malaysia, Thailand, and more, Shangrila Motors has outpaced regional counterparts through a sharp focus on localized strategies and consumer trust-building. Their performance has now set a new benchmark for how EV brands can thrive in emerging markets.

Leapmotor representatives emphasized that the award was based on strict criteria including sales growth, service quality, brand outreach, and overall dealership excellence. Shangrila Motors excelled across all metrics.

Currently, Shangrila Motors offers three Leapmotor models in the Nepalese market:

• Leapmotor T03: A compact city hatchback tailored for urban use and first-time EV buyers.

• Leapmotor B10: A versatile compact SUV ideal for families and daily commutes.

• Leapmotor C10: A premium electric SUV that merges advanced tech with global design cues.

Despite limited infrastructure and charging networks in Nepal, Shangrila Motors has carefully positioned these models to meet the real-world needs of Nepali drivers. Their thoughtful curation of Leapmotor’s global catalog demonstrates both strategic vision and local understanding.

What truly sets Shangrila Motors apart isn’t just the cars, it’s the experience. The company has invested in educating the public about EV ownership, organizing awareness events, offering test drives, and building a reliable after-sales ecosystem. These efforts have fostered trust and sparked growing demand across major urban centers like Kathmandu and Pokhara.

Industry analysts say this consumer-first approach has been pivotal in earning both customer loyalty and corporate recognition.

This award also sends a clear message to global automakers: Nepal is no longer a passive player in the electric mobility movement. It’s an agile and responsive market with rising consumer interest, supported by capable local partners like Shangrila Motors.

Leapmotor’s decision to entrust Shangrila Motors with its regional representation has proven visionary. The results now position Nepal as a potential hub of EV leadership in South Asia.

This recognition marks more than a corporate milestone. It is a national achievement, showcasing Nepal’s capability to lead in sustainable mobility. Shangrila Motors has not only elevated the Leapmotor brand ,  it has placed Nepal on the map of global EV excellence.

As the Asia Pacific EV race accelerates, one thing is now certain: Shangrila Motors isn't just participating ,  it’s leading the charge.
