LEPAS will stage the world premiere of a new concept car at the Chery International User Summit 2026, where the Chery-owned automaker will also introduce its Next-Generation Leopard Aesthetics design language. The event is scheduled to run from October 18 to 24.
The summit will include driving demonstrations intended to show LEPAS vehicles in urban, highway and mountain-road conditions, alongside automatic and remote-parking technologies. The L8’s Super Intelligent Valet Parking (SIVP) system is also set to be demonstrated.
- L4, included in the summit test-drive program.
- L6, included in the summit test-drive program.
- L8, included in the summit test-drive program.
- L6 EV, which will follow a dedicated route spanning city roads, highways and mountain sections.
The current LEPAS lineup includes the L6 PHEV and the larger L8. Both are rated at 205 kW, but the L6 uses an 18.4 kWh battery and has a WLTP electric-only range of up to 92 km. LEPAS quotes a 1,058 km combined WLTP range for the L6, while the L8 is rated for up to 1,040 km.
| Specification | LEPAS L6 PHEV | LEPAS L8 |
|---|---|---|
| Total output | 205 kW | 205 kW |
| Wheelbase | 2.7 m | 2.8 m |
| Combined WLTP range | 1,058 km | 1,040 km |
The L6 measures 4.55 meters long and has a 323-liter trunk. Its interior received the Best Interior Design Award | City Car at the Torino Automotive Design Award 2026.
For the L8, LEPAS pairs a 1.5-liter combustion engine with electric propulsion, quoting 365 Nm of torque and a 0–100 km/h time of 7.9 seconds. The company claims combined fuel consumption of 2.2 L/100 km, although that figure can vary substantially with battery state of charge and driving conditions.
- L6 equipment can include two wireless charging areas, heated and ventilated seats, and physical controls for selected functions, depending on trim.
- L8 technology includes APA and RPA parking assistance, 540-degree cameras with Transparent Chassis visibility beneath the vehicle, and available heated, ventilated and massage seats.
LEPAS has yet to detail how the concept’s design and technology will translate into future production models. That connection will be the key outcome to watch when the concept is unveiled in October.
