Overview
- Lepas confirmed on Monday that the L6 will arrive in Australia in the fourth quarter of 2026 as an all‑electric, five‑seat mid‑size SUV.
- The brand publishes specifications that describe a single front motor rated at about 160 kW and 275 Nm, a roughly 65–67 kWh LFP battery, a claimed single‑charge range of up to 450 km, and up to 120 kW DC fast charging.
- Separately, Lepas has opened pre‑orders in South Africa for an L6 fitted with a 1.5 T‑GDI petrol engine and says a plug‑in hybrid L6 LSH is expected to follow there, showing the model will be offered in different powertrains by market.
- Published equipment for the L6 highlights premium touches such as a panoramic glass roof, digital screens, heated and ventilated front seats, 360/540‑degree camera systems and a Sony audio option, but Lepas says final Australian spec will be confirmed closer to launch.
- The L6 launch is part of Chery Group’s wider multi‑brand export push and could increase competition in the mid‑size EV segment, though consumer impact will depend on final local pricing, dealer rollout and the model’s real‑world range and charging performance.
