Consumers expect more from an SUV than basic transport:\nlasting design, comfort and versatility for commuting, socializing and\nleisure. The LEPAS L6 EV, an Intelligent Urban Living SUV from Chery Auto's\nall-new NEV brand, delivers reliable, all-round driving experience. Centered\non three experiences—Truly Dazzling, Truly Composed, and Truly\nComfortable—it sets a benchmark for elegant electric mobility.\n\nLaunched in Thailand on July 24 as its first market, it drew strong attention.\nMedia praised its styling, cabin refinement and ride comfort in Southeast\nAsia's heat.\n\n\n\nTruly Dazzling: Leopard Aesthetics and Wrap-around Cockpit Create a Refined\nUrban Presence\n\nThe LEPAS L6 EV adopts the signature Leopard Aesthetics for a clean and\nelegant form. A dynamic hunting stance, Leopard Eye LED headlamps,\nLeopard-Stance Wide Body and Ultra-Red Taillights create an agile, purposeful\nlook, while pearlescent paint finishes boost on-road recognition.\n\nInside, natural-tech cabin design makes innovation intuitive. The gull-wing\nwraparound cabin creates a secure and enveloping feel; Pebble-shaped floating\nspeakers soften the tech, and the Waterfall-style central screen and\nskyline-inspired vent reinforce the cabin's clean, modern character.

The second-generation Super Intelligent Valet Parking\n(SIVP) system, available on selected models in some markets, handles extremely\ntight underground spaces. ADAS features monitor surrounding conditions in real\ntime to lower risk.\n\nBuilt to 2026 Euro NCAP standards, the LEPAS L6 EV delivers comprehensive\nprotection. High-strength steel accounts for 73.77% of the body structure, and\na lightweight crash beam improves impact absorption. 7 airbags, supported by\nlong-lasting pressure-retention technology, provide comprehensive occupant\nprotection. An integrated post-collision rescue solution with quad-redundant\ndoor unlocking and secondary collision avoidance preserves rescue access;\nIP68/IPX9K battery protection safeguards urban driving.\n\nTruly Comfortable: An All-Scenario Mobile Cockpit Expands the Boundaries of\nEvery Journey\n\nThe LEPAS L6 EV pairs a Super Voice Assistant with a high-definition panoramic\nview monitor for clear visibility when parking or on tight roads. It supports\nfull-cockpit voice interaction, remote vehicle control, and 5 smart modes:\nPet, Baby, Nap, Refresh, and Camping. A 65.2% interior space efficiency rate\nand 39 thoughtfully designed storage spaces maximize usable space; 99L of\nunder-floor storage holds work, camping, and sports gear.
