Latest Leapmotor Dealership announced

Overview

Leapmotor Ireland has announced Kenny Galway, Tuam Road, Galway, as its latest official franchise dealer. The appointment marks Leapmotor’s first Retail Partner in Connacht, further strengthening the brand’s presence in the west of Ireland.

From this month, customers in Galway can explore and purchase the full Leapmotor electric vehicle range at Kenny Galway. The lineup includes the compact Leapmotor T03, the versatile Leapmotor C10 SUV, and the soon-to-arrive Leapmotor B10 compact SUV, set to launch in November.

A strong partnership for the west of Ireland

Yvonne Sweeney, Business Development Manager at Leapmotor Ireland, commented:
“We are delighted to welcome Kenny Galway to the Leapmotor family. Their long-standing reputation for quality and customer care aligns perfectly with our goal to bring innovative electric vehicles to Irish drivers. This partnership ensures customers in Galway and across the west can experience Leapmotor’s technology and design with the local support of a trusted dealership.”

Founded in 1992, Kenny Galway has grown to become one of the region’s most respected motor retailers. Initially based on Headford Road, the business relocated in 2003 to its purpose-built showroom on Tuam Road. As the main Peugeot dealer in Galway since 2014, the dealership is known for its dedication to customer service and wide range of vehicles. Its experienced team now extends that same commitment to the Leapmotor brand, offering sales, service, and support for electric vehicle customers.

Embracing the future of mobility

Brian Kenny, Dealer Principal at Kenny Galway, said:
“Joining forces with Leapmotor marks an exciting new chapter for us as we embrace the future of mobility. We’re thrilled to introduce our customers to Leapmotor’s cutting-edge electric vehicles and to provide the same high-quality service and expertise that drivers have come to expect from Kenny Galway.”

Leapmotor’s expanding Irish network

The appointment of Kenny Galway represents another milestone in Leapmotor Ireland’s network expansion as the brand continues to deliver exceptional value and next-generation electric mobility to Irish drivers.
Through Gowan Auto’s established retail network, Leapmotor customers can enjoy a comprehensive sales and aftersales experience.

The new Leapmotor B10 SUV, recently unveiled at IAA Mobility in Munich, will join the Irish lineup next month. The B10 is currently being dispatched globally aboard Leapmotor’s dedicated 9,250-unit freighter, operated in partnership with Grimaldi Lines, showcasing the brand’s rapid international growth.
