Hampshire, England, UK - 21th August 2026 - Global boutique smart NEV brand LINKTOUR Automobile has announced its United Kingdom premier into the automotive market and participation at the British Motor Show, marking a major milestone in the Chinese company’s European expansion and its mission to redefine urban mobility through intelligent, design-led electric vehicles, after its recent launch in Benelux, Italy, France, Romania, Greece, Bulgaria, Egypt, Norway and Cambodia.
Following its successful debut at IAA Mobility 2025 and initial rollout across key European markets, LINKTOUR is bringing its next-generation compact electric vehicles ALUMI to the UK roads in 2026, starting from its public premier at The British Motor Show in August.
A New Era of Urban Mobility in the UK
LINKTOUR’s UK launch introduces a new category of ultra-compact, fully electric vehicles designed specifically for modern city living. The company’s flagship ALUMI L-series models, including the ALUMI & ALUMI Pro (L6e) and ALUMI ELITE+ (L7e), are engineered to address the evolving needs of urban drivers, combining bespoke design, compact dimensions, smart connectivity, and sustainable materials.
Built on advanced lightweight all-aluminium platform with the world’s first cell-to-body battery integration technology in the L-series, ALUMI delivers enhanced efficiency, safety, and agility — ideal for navigating the UK’s urban environments.
The all-aluminium monocoque is up to 45% lighter than traditional steel structure, enhancing everyday driving.
A peak torque of 95 N.m helps the ALUMI L-series achieve 0-50 km/h in 5.5 seconds and deliver steady climbing power, backed by Hill Start Assist (HAC), for greater control on steep UK roads. With key figures tailored for city centre use and the ability to charge via standard home outlets, the vehicles offer a practical and accessible solution for everyday commuting.
Design-Led Innovation Meets Personal Expression
Inside the cockpit, a digitally integrated cockpit with touchscreen displays, smartphone connectivity, and remote vehicle management ensures a seamless, intelligent driving experience aligned with today’s connected lifestyles.
At the heart of LINKTOUR’s proposition is a commitment to design innovation and personalization. Features such as the brand’s unique “Art Window” enable drivers to customize their vehicle’s exterior with digital graphics or branding, transforming each car into a platform for self-expression or even mobile advertising.
This design-forward approach has already earned international recognition, including the 2026 Red Dot Award, iF Design Award and the German Design Award, reinforcing Linktour’s position as a rising global innovator in electric mobility and design.
First UK Public View and Strategic Expansion
LINKTOUR will be premiering to the public at the British Motor Show 2026, taking place at Farnborough International Exhibition & Conference Centre, 21-23 August 2026. The British Motor Show 2026 will bring together leading automotive brands, emerging technologies and live experiences, celebrating the past, present and future of motoring. The UK represents a critical next step in LINKTOUR’s European growth strategy. As demand for compact, sustainable mobility solutions continues to rise, the company aims to offer a compelling alternative to traditional urban transport, particularly for younger drivers, city commuters, and multi-vehicle households.
“LINKTOUR is not just introducing new models to the UK; we are introducing a new way of thinking about urban mobility.” said Leon Zheng, Vice President Sales & Marketing, LINKTOUR. “Our goal is to create smart, stylish, and sustainable commuting experiences that seamlessly integrate into UK city life.” This year, LINKTOUR Automobile will bring three model configurations into the UK market — the ALUMI and ALUMI Pro (L6e category) and the ALUMI ELITE+ (L7e category).
