Lepas, part of the globally renowned Chery Group, is proud to announce its official debut in South Africa. Designed with elegance at its core and built on the DNA of the leopard, each Lepas vehicle embodies poise, agility, and presence on the road. For South African drivers seeking refinement, performance, and distinction, Lepas delivers an automotive experience that is unmistakably sophisticated.

LEPAS WILL BE AVAILABLE FROM Q1 OF 2026

Mzansi drivers will soon be able to experience the L4, L6, and L8, vehicles that blend intelligent design, cutting-edge technology, and graceful performance. These models will be available from the first and second quarter of 2026, offering South Africans an unprecedented combination of style, comfort, and accessibility.

A LAUNCH EVENING OF STYLE AND ELEGANCE

The launch of Lepas in South Africa was celebrated with an exclusive evening of style, elegance, and immersive experiences. Celebrities, key dealers, influencers, and media representatives gathered to witness the arrival of the brand, exploring the sleek lines, innovative technology, and exceptional craftsmanship of Lepas vehicles firsthand.

Guests were treated to an unforgettable showcase that highlighted the brand’s commitment to sophistication and performance. The event blended glamour with innovation, reflecting Lepas’ vision of vehicles that are not just machines, but statements of style and elegance.

ELEGANCE, POWER AND INNOVATION

As part of the Chery Group, Lepas brings global automotive expertise and innovation to South Africa. Chery Group’s decades of experience in engineering, design, and advanced mobility solutions underpin every vehicle, ensuring that each Lepas model meets the highest international standards while reflecting the unique character and preferences of Mzansi drivers.

Every detail of a Lepas vehicle has been crafted with care, from the sculpted lines that convey confidence and motion, to the intuitive technology that elevates the driving experience. Built on the DNA of the leopard, Lepas vehicles combine agility, instinct, and power with elegance, offering a driving experience that is as exhilarating as it is refined.

Through Chery Group’s global expertise and our commitment to innovation and style, we are excited to offer Mzansi an automotive experience that celebrates elegance, precision, and sophistication.” says Jay Jay Botes, General Manager of Lepas South Africa.  

A NEW STANDARD FOR SOUTH AFRICAN ROADS

Lepas is more than a car; it is an expression of individuality, character, and refinement. By combining Chery Group’s technological excellence with a deep understanding of elegance in design, Lepas vehicles set a new benchmark for South African motoring. With the highly anticipated L4, L6, and L8 ready to hit the roads from Q1 and Q2 of 2026, South African drivers can look forward to a new era of style, confidence, and inspiration behind the wheel.
