Johannesburg, 3 June 2026 - Against the lush backdrop of the iconic Inanda Polo Club, Lepas South Africa stepped into the spotlight this past weekend as a distinguished presence at the prestigious JC Le Roux Cap Classique Event, an occasion synonymous with refinement, leisure, and the very best of South African lifestyle culture.
Lepas, the exciting new sub-brand of Chery Group South Africa, made its mark in a setting defined by elegance and sophistication, curating an experience built on exceptional craftsmanship, advanced engineering, and a premium ownership journey.
Guests were treated to an exclusive showcase of the Lepas range, with particular excitement surrounding the newly launched Lepas L4, now available from R299 900*. Drawing equal intrigue, guests and members of the public were treated to an exclusive first glimpse of the highly anticipated Lepas L6 and Lepas L8, with the L6 set to launch in South Africa at the end of July 2026 and the L8 following thereafter, offering a rare preview of the brand's next chapter in design, innovation, and ambition.
The exhibition provided a rare opportunity for guests to engage directly with the brand, exploring its design philosophy, engineering precision, and lifestyle-led positioning that sets Lepas apart in the premium mobility space.
“Being part of an event of this calibre speaks directly to who Lepas is,” said Jay Jay Botes, General Manager of Lepas and Chery Group South Africa. “Our customers don't simply choose a vehicle, they make a statement about how they move through the world. What we witnessed at Inanda this weekend was that statement, made beautifully.”
Beyond the showcase, Lepas continues to strengthen its commitment to a seamless, customer-first ownership journey. The brand's growing footprint of 27 dealerships nationwide ensures accessible, consistent support across South Africa.
