South Africa, the new year starts with a clean slate, and it’s about to get a serious upgrade. In Q1 2026, a bold new name in premium mobility arrives on our roads. Lepas, from the Chery Group, is set to redefine how Joburg, Cape Town, and Durban move, blending style, confidence, and effortless cool.
Leading the charge is the Lepas L4, your gateway into the brand. Built on Chery’s next generation LEX intelligent platform, the L4 is engineered for both hybrid flexibility and petrol performance. It delivers electrified innovation with everyday reliability, giving you the freedom to drive your way without compromise. Every journey feels confident, smooth, and future ready.
Lepas is more than a car brand. It’s a lifestyle 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. Step inside and you’re met with a calm, contemporary interior that balances minimalist luxury with urban energy. It’s connected, refined, and made to be seen.

The Lepas L4 fits seamlessly into that moment, turning daily commutes into statements of style and freedom. It’s designed for trendsetters who appreciate smart technology, standout design, and authenticity in everything they choose.
