LEPAS L6 EV completes first Global Elegance Drive in China

LEPAS put its L6 EV through a 700-kilometer test drive from Shanghai to Wuhu on Oct. 19-20 during Chery International User Summit 2026. The route tested range, charging, parking and ride comfort with 34 ambassadors from 15 countries, giving the brand real-world feedback on its new electric model.

Why it matters: - The drive gave LEPAS a real-world showcase for the L6 EV across city streets, highways, mountain roads and parking scenarios. - The route tested the model’s range, charging performance, comfort and driver-assistance systems in conditions that matter to global buyers. - Feedback from 34 ambassadors from 15 countries gives LEPAS input for future product tuning and market adaptation.

What happened: - LEPAS L6 EV completed its first LEPAS Global Elegance Drive on Oct. 19-20 during Chery International User Summit 2026. - The drive was part of the first LEPAS Global Elegant Lifestyle Week under the theme “TOGETHER IN ELEGANCE.” - The convoy covered about 700 kilometers from Shanghai to Wuhu. - The route passed through Tonglu, Qiandao Lake and Shexian. - Thirty-four Elegant Driving Ambassadors from 15 countries took part.

The details: - On the first day, the convoy left Shanghai and headed to Qiandao Lake. - The 540-degree panoramic view system helped drivers navigate city traffic with more confidence. - ADAS features supported smoother driving on highways and urban expressways. - Thomas Jervis of Auto Express said the LEPAS L6 EV acceleration was smooth and the performance matched his needs on straight roads and highway merging. - Jervis also said the range broadly matched the officially stated figures. - At Qiandao Lake, participants tested the APA automatic parking assistant and RPA remote parking assistant in tight parking spaces. - Participants also used the L6 EV V2L function in an outdoor camping setting. - The setting included lake views, local food and music, which encouraged discussion about EV use from a global perspective. - On the second day, the convoy continued to Wuhu on winding mountain roads with changing gradients. - Participants noted precise steering response that followed driver inputs closely. - They also noted controlled body roll that helped the car feel stable. - Powertrain and brakes worked smoothly on climbs and descents. - The chassis absorbed bumps effectively on uneven surfaces. - Rear-seat passengers experienced minimal shaking. - Quiet cabin conditions, generous legroom and headroom, and smart features added to long-distance comfort. - Jacobus Gert Hendrik Venter of Navigating Media said the interior materials felt refined, the build quality impressed him and the Sony audio system stood out. - The event let participants experience the L6 EV from the driver’s seat and from the rear seats across multiple real-world conditions.

Between the lines: - LEPAS is using the drive as both a product test and a brand exercise. - The emphasis on elegance, comfort and intelligent features signals how LEPAS wants the L6 EV positioned in international markets. - The use of ambassadors from multiple countries suggests the company wants external validation, not just in-house claims.

What's next: - LEPAS plans to use participant feedback to better understand user needs in global markets. - The company aims to make future rides smoother, more comfortable and more refined. - LEPAS is also continuing to expand its international footprint through localized market operations and a network of more than 500 sales and service locations.

The bottom line: - LEPAS turned its first global drive event into a live demonstration of the L6 EV’s ride quality, range and convenience features.
