Built for everyday driving, weekend adventures and everything in between.
Life doesn’t always happen on the same road. One day you’re driving to work, the next you’re heading out for a cycling event, a hiking trail, a camping weekend or a family road trip. That’s why more South Africans are looking for an SUV that can comfortably handle both city life and weekend adventures.
The LEPAS L6 aims to do exactly that.
The latest SUV from LEPAS, a premium brand under the Chery Group, brings together modern styling, practical features and smart technology in a package that’s designed for people who enjoy getting out and exploring.
From the outside, the L6 has a sporty, confident look with LED lighting, bold alloy wheels and a design that feels just as comfortable in the city as it does parked beside a trailhead or campsite.
Inside, comfort is one of its biggest strengths.
The spacious cabin offers plenty of room for family and friends, while the 13.2-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto keeps navigation, music and calls within easy reach. Heated and ventilated front seats, wireless phone charging and a panoramic sunroof add an extra level of comfort, especially on longer journeys.
Adventure often means taking more than just passengers, and the LEPAS L6 has been designed with that in mind.
The generous luggage compartment has space for hiking backpacks, sports bags, camera gear, camping equipment or everything you need for a weekend away. Whether you’re heading to the coast, the mountains or your next sporting event, there’s enough room to pack what matters.
Power comes from a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine producing 108 kW and 285 Nm of torque, paired with a six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. It delivers smooth performance for everyday driving, while offering enough power for long-distance touring and confident highway overtaking.
Fuel efficiency is another important part of the package. With fuel prices continuing to rise, the L6’s average fuel consumption of around 7.5 L/100 km makes it a sensible choice for drivers who enjoy spending time on the road without constantly watching the fuel gauge.
Safety hasn’t been overlooked either.
The L6 includes up to 22 advanced driver assistance features, including Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keep Assist, Blind Spot Monitoring and Autonomous Emergency Braking. A 540-degree camera system provides a clear view around the vehicle, making parking, reversing and navigating tight spaces much easier whether you’re in the city or at a busy outdoor venue.
For peace of mind after your purchase, LEPAS is expanding its dealer and service network across South Africa, giving owners access to authorised servicing, genuine replacement parts and factory-trained technicians.
The ownership package is another highlight, including a 5-year/150,000 km vehicle warranty, a 5-year/75,000 km service plan and a 10-year/1 million kilometre engine warranty for the first owner.
While official pricing is still to be confirmed, the LEPAS L6 is expected to start from around R479,000, placing it among South Africa’s competitive midsize SUVs.
