Chery Group’s new Lepas brand has announced the starting price and specs for its first Australian model, the all-electric L6 SUV, ahead of test drives commencing in November.
Built on Chery Group’s LEXP platform, the L6 features a single electric powertrain producing 160kW and 275Nm, paired with a 65kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery. Driving range is rated at 440km on the WLTP cycle, while DC fast charging supports a 30-80 per cent recharge in approximately 22 minutes when connected to a suitable 120kW charger.
Standard exterior equipment includes 19-inch machined alloy wheels, a panoramic glass roof with retractable sunshade, and acoustic glass for the front doors.
Inside, the L6 features a 13.2-inch central touch-screen and 8.88-inch digital instrument display, along with wireless and wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. An eight-speaker Sony sound system and 50W wireless phone charger are also included.
Safety equipment incorporates a suite of advanced driver assistance systems, along with an automatic parking function.
Lepas is also offering a 7-year/unlimited-kilometre vehicle warranty, alongside eight-year/200,000km battery coverage, seven years of roadside assistance and a seven-year capped-price servicing program.
Five exterior colours have been confirmed, including Bamboo Grey, Carbon Crystal Black (pre-order only), Crimson Purple, Khaki White and Light Speed Orange. Premium paint will be offered at no additional cost for a limited introductory period.
The Lepas L6 BEV will be available for test drives at Australian dealerships from early November, with prices starting from $47,990 for the single variant (excluding on-road costs).
