The new model will be offered in both Lepas Super Hybrid and battery electric vehicle form, joining the flagship L8 as the Chinese brand continues preparations for its UK market launch.
Arriving as a five-seater C-segment SUV, the Lepas L6 is positioned as a smaller stablemate to the L8 and has been developed on Chery International’s new energy vehicle modular platform.

In Lepas Super Hybrid form, the L6 uses a 1.5-litre petrol engine paired with an electric motor and battery pack, with the brand claiming a total range of more than 700 miles.
The battery electric version offers a quoted range of 270 miles from a 67kWh battery which can charge from 30% to 80% in around 20 minutes.
Earler this year, Chery International confirmed that Lepas will become its fourth automotive brand to launch in the UK, with the L8 scheduled to arrive before the end of September. Chery International has already established a growing presence in the UK through the launches of Omoda UK in August 2024, Jaecoo UK in January 2025 and Chery UK in the summer last year.
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.”
The company said the model combines its latest proprietary technologies with a connected cabin, advanced driver assistance systems and engineering designed to meet global five-star safety standards.
