Destination South Africa

A new chapter begins as the first LEPAS L4 vehicles depart Port Taicang in China, bound for South Africa, signalling the arrival of a bold new era in intelligent, elegant mobility. With refined performance, striking design, and intelligent innovation, the L4 is set to captivate South African drivers and redefine expectations in its segment.

LEPAS L4: Elegance in Motion

Inspired by the sleek agility of the leopard, the L4 is crafted to command attention. Every curve, every line, and every detail has been shaped with aerodynamic precision and confident poise. This is mobility reimagined—where elegance meets purpose and design speaks with intent.

Performance That Moves With You

Whether weaving through city streets or stretching out along coastal roads, the L4 delivers a smooth, assured drive. Powered by a responsive 1.5L turbocharged petrol engine, it strikes the perfect balance between agility and control, making every journey both effortless and engaging.

Safety and intelligence are seamlessly integrated. Advanced driver-assistance technologies, combined with a rigid, globally compliant safety structure, ensure every drive is secure, composed, and unmistakably elegant. With design, technology, and performance working in harmony, the L4 invites drivers to Drive Your Elegance, turning every trip into a personal statement.

Lepas South Africa Strengthens Commitment to After-Sales Excellence

As Lepas prepares to launch its premium SUV range in South Africa in the first quarter of 2026, the brand is reinforcing its commitment to an exceptional after-sales ownership experience. Building on the proven service legacy of its parent brand, Chery, Lepas will introduce a comprehensive customer support programme designed to deliver reliability, responsiveness, and peace of mind.

With Chery having established a strong benchmark for customer-focused after-sales service in South Africa, Lepas aims to extend and elevate this standard—ensuring customers receive world-class support throughout their ownership journey.

Experience the L4 Firsthand

To celebrate its arrival, Lepas will invite customers to exclusive test-drive weekends in March 2026, offering South African drivers the opportunity to experience the L4’s design, technology, and performance in real-world conditions.

Experience elegance. Experience innovation. Experience Lepas.
