LEPAS L6 to make European debut in Milan as it confirms model destined for UK in 2026

London, 13 April 2026

LEPAS is preparing for a star-studded reveal during Milan Design Week, which will see the European debut of the LEPAS L6 in LEPAS Super Hybrid and battery electric vehicle (BEV) form, alongside its flagship LEPAS L8 in LEPAS Super Hybrid form.

The European debut comes at a pivotal moment for LEPAS UK, which confirmed its plans for the market earlier this year. Arriving in the UK in Q4 2026, the LEPAS L6 combines class-leading efficiency with real-world usability. The self-charging LEPAS Super Hybrid pairs a 1.5-litre engine with an electric motor and battery pack to deliver over 700 miles of total range, while the fully electric L6 BEV offers 270 miles of range* from a 67 kWh battery. Both models feature rapid-charging capability, with the BEV able to recharge from 30–80% in approximately 20 minutes, ensuring minimal downtime and maximum convenience for all driving scenarios.

The LEPAS L6 marks a defining moment in advanced mobility, showcasing parent company Chery International’s award-winning proprietary technologies and elegant design. Both models are engineered on Chery International’s all-new New Energy Vehicle (NEV) modular platform, delivering a seamless blend of performance, comfort, and efficiency, tailored for European roads.

Commenting on the launch and UK market intent, Ray Wang, LEPAS UK Managing Director, said: “The LEPAS L6 marks an exciting step for our brand in Europe and, of course, the UK market – as we confirm this will be the second model sold. Combining our proprietary LEPAS Super Hybrid and fully electric powertrains, the LEPAS L6 delivers exceptional efficiency, impressive range, and rapid charging – all tailored for British roads.

“The LEPAS L6 is as clever as your smartphone, with intelligent technology woven into every journey, and as sophisticated as your home, delivering comfort, safety, and connectivity at every turn. We’re thrilled to confirm it will arrive in the UK later this year following its launch in Milan – a place where design and innovation converge.

“LEPAS will engage the world in the language of elegance and move forward toward the future. ‘Drive Your Elegance’ is not only the LEPAS declaration, but also its aspiration for a globally shared vision of elegant living – as our motto is “Here’s to Elegance” – it’s a fitting way of signing off."

Arriving as a five-seater, C-segment SUV, the LEPAS L6 reflects the brand’s signature design language. Its sculpted exterior captures the elegance and agility of a running leopard, with front LED headlights shaped to resemble a leopard’s eye. Smaller than the flagship L8 yet uncompromising in quality and elegance, the L6 combines premium proportions with an intelligent, connected cabin, advanced driver assistance, and engineering to global five-star safety standards.

LEPAS – combining “Leopard” and “Passion” – is designed for those who value authentic engineering, cutting-edge innovation, and an elevated everyday ownership experience. Beyond mobility, it engages creative, design-conscious communities who appreciate craftsmanship, aesthetic integrity, and expressive identity.

Full UK specifications will be revealed ahead of launch, offering further insight into LEPAS’ approach to intelligent, sophisticated mobility.
