The 3S centre pairs a four-bay service workshop with a detailing centre, customer consultation areas, and a private vehicle delivery room, all under one roof in Kempas.

Why Was the Kempas Location Chosen for Johor Bahru?

Kempas, Johor Bahru, was chosen as the site for this 3S centre to serve Johor's southern region, which was described as a "dynamic and fast-growing" area for the brand. The location is intended to expand Leapmotor's footprint beyond existing centres in Klang Valley, targeting Johor's growing number of EV-conscious consumers and private car owners.

According to Cycle & Carriage Malaysia CEO Adrian Short, the new outlet is a key milestone in the brand's evolution in the Southern region, building on a 2024 partnership with Stellantis Malaysia. This new facility offers accessible customer services that position the brand for expansion into a region that is typically served by less integrated showroom networks.

The Kempas 3S centre is specifically designed to bring Leapmotor's EV sales and after-sales service to Johor's fast-growing Southern region, representing the first dedicated facility of its kind for the brand in the area.

What is the Expansion Timeline for Cycle & Carriage and Leapmotor?

Cycle & Carriage has expanded its partnership with Leapmotor through a sequence of operational milestones. In 2024, the company initiated a partnership with Stellantis, and in June 2026, it began official distribution operations for Leapmotor in Malaysia, which included a flagship 3S centre in Glenmarie, a showroom at Plaza 33, and continued growth across other regions.

These outlets build on a logistics and operations partnership started in April 2026 with the opening of Leapmotor's first full-fledged 3S dealership in Glenmarie, followed by the Plaza 33 showroom in Petaling Jaya. The Johor Bahru Kempas outlet is the latest addition, expanding the network to six locations nationwide. The distribution operations began in June 2026, with more outlets planned in the coming months.

Following a 2024 partnership, Cycle & Carriage officially started Leapmotor distribution in June 2026 and has now expanded the brand's outlet network to six locations nationwide, including the new Kempas, Johor Bahru 3S centre.

Who Is This For in Malaysia?

The Johor Bahru 3S centre is designed for southern Malaysian EV buyers and current Leapmotor owners who previously had to travel to central facilities for official service. This includes customers in Johor Bahru urban areas and the surrounding Iskandar Malaysia region, specifically those looking for the sales, service, and maintenance of electric vehicles in a market that values integrated support networks.

Given the tropical climate and the Malaysian electrical standard of 240V, the facility ensures any servicing or warranty work is done to the official standards required for Leapmotor vehicles sold in Malaysia, keeping battery and system components suited to local weather. The dedicated detailing centre and wash bays also provide a complete car care solution, which is crucial for managing vehicle condition in the region's high humidity and frequent precipitation.

This Kempas 3S centre is the most comprehensive EV service option for Johor residents, designed to support Leapmotor electric vehicles in a 240V power environment and tropical climate.
