Summary
The Lepas L6 is a new mid-size SUV range set to arrive in the UK in 2026, which includes both petrol plug-in hybrid and all-electric versions.
Lepas may be a new name in Europe, but not a standalone startup. It’s part of the huge Chery Group and a sister brand to Chery, Omoda and Jaecoo, which have all enjoyed successful UK launches in over the last two years.
The L6 will be the manufacturer’s second model to arrive on UK roads, following the larger L8 plug-in hybrid SUV.
The plug-in hybrid variant pairs a 1.5-litre petrol engine with an electric motor, with Lepas claiming a combined range of over 700 miles. This is the same system that has proven enormously popular on the best-selling Jaecoo 7 and other Chery Group models launched over the last 12 months.
Meanwhile, the electric model uses a 67kWh battery with an official driving range of 270 miles; the company says it can charge from 30% to 80% in around 20 minutes.
Its a bit early to give the Lepas L6 an Expert Rating score just yet – the SUV is yet to be reviewed in the UK at the time of writing. When the SUV does arrive, we will split this page into two – covering the plug-in hybrid and electric versions of the L6 separately.

The Green NCAP programme measures exhaust pollution (which is zero for an electric car) and energy efficiency. Electric cars are much more energy-efficient than combustion cars, so the all-electric L6 is likely to score very highly in Green NCAP testing if and when it takes place. Check back again soon.
