Lepas launches in South Africa

Leading the charge is the brands first model, the Lepas L4, which boasts striking, modern styling that commands attention.

Lepas is officially launching in South Africa in March with the brand-new Lepas L4. Lepas is a bold new name in premium mobility arriving on our roads courtesy of the Chery group.

According to Lepas, the brand is designed for a new generation of drivers who see mobility as an extension of self-expression. The L4 captures the spirit of accessible elegance with striking Leopard Aesthetics, sharp lines and bold proportions.

Leading the charge is the brands first model, the Lepas L4, which boasts striking, modern styling that commands attention.

The L4 boasts a sculpted exterior, bold front grille and flowing lines that convey movement even when standing still, while the interior blends premium materials with smart, intuitive technology. Every detail has been designed to command attention and deliver a sophisticated, contemporary driving experience.

Inspired by the poised efficiency of the leopard, the L4’s design is a statement of aerodynamic intent. It features signature vertical-slit full-LED handlamps and a definitive full-width taillight.

Calm, contemporary interior

Step inside and you are met with a calm, contemporary interior that balances minimalist luxury with urban energy.

The interior is packed with smart, intuitive technology that makes every journey effortless while premium interior comfort is designed for long drives, city commutes or weekend getaways.

The interior is anchored by a premium central control touchscreen with seamless integration for both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, ensuring connectivity that is as sophisticated as the drive.

Peace of mind in terms of occupant safety is taken care of by a suite of intelligent driver-assistance technologies and a robust safety structure, developed to global standards.

Dynamic performers

Dynamic performance is built for South African roads, whether navigating urban traffic or open highways.

The Lepas L4 will be available with a range of configurations, including a 1.5-litre turbocharged G4T15 engine paired with a smooth 6DCT gearbox. An advanced efficient hybrid model will also be available.

The Lepas L4 is built on the brand’s advanced LEX platform, which integrates intelligent architecture, safety and performance into every vehicle. The platform ensures a balanced ride, precise handling and a solid, safe foundation, allowing drivers to enjoy both comfort and confidence on every journey.

The L4 is only the beginning

Later in 2026, the flagship L8 will join the lineup, offering more space and an even stronger premium presence, built on the same advanced platform.
