LEPAS L6 EV completes first global elegance drive

LEPAS took the L6 EV on its first Global Elegance Drive during Chery International User Summit 2026, sending 34 ambassadors from 15 countries on a 700-kilometer route across eastern China. The event doubled as a real-world test of the EV’s range, parking tech, ride comfort and cabin refinement.

Why it matters: - LEPAS used the drive to test the L6 EV in real traffic, on highways and on mountain roads, giving the brand direct feedback on how the vehicle performs across markets. - The event also served as a showcase for the company’s push to position LEPAS as a premium new-energy brand with a focus on elegant mobility.

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

The details: - The route was designed to evaluate the L6 EV’s driving performance, ride comfort, intelligent parking, range and charging capability under varied road conditions. - On day one, the convoy traveled from Shanghai to Qiandao Lake. - The L6 EV’s 540-degree panoramic camera system supported safer maneuvering in city traffic. - The advanced driver assistance systems made highway and urban expressway driving feel more relaxed. - Thomas Jervis of Auto Express said the L6 EV delivered smooth acceleration and enough power for straight roads and highway merging. - Jervis also said the vehicle’s range closely matched the official figures. - At Qiandao Lake, participants tested the automatic parking assist and remote parking assist in tight spaces. - Participants also used the vehicle-to-load function in an outdoor camping setting. - On day two, the convoy continued to Wuhu on winding mountain roads with changing gradients. - The drive highlighted precise steering, controlled body roll and stable handling through turns. - The powertrain and brakes worked smoothly on uphill and downhill sections. - The suspension absorbed bumps well on rough pavement, and rear-seat passengers felt minimal aftershocks. - The cabin was described as quiet, with ample legroom and headroom. - Jacobus Gert Hendrik Venter of Navigating Media said the interior materials felt refined, the build quality was impressive and the Sony audio system stood out.

Between the lines: - The route mixed city streets, highways, lakefront stops and mountain roads, which suggests LEPAS wanted to pressure-test the L6 EV in conditions that mirror everyday use in different markets. - The presence of international ambassadors turns the event into both a product evaluation and a brand-building exercise. - The feedback from participants gives LEPAS a real-world signal on what resonates with drivers beyond China.

What’s next: - LEPAS said the hands-on feedback from the drive will help the brand better understand user needs in global markets. - The company plans to use those insights to keep improving the mobility experience, with a focus on balance, comfort and refinement. - LEPAS will continue expanding its international reach through its global dealer network of more than 500 sales and service locations.

The bottom line: - LEPAS turned its first global drive program into a live demonstration of the L6 EV’s range, comfort and parking tech, while also gathering international feedback to shape future product development.
