LEPAS, the new energy vehicle (NEV) brand under Chery Group, has made an impressive overseas debut with its first model. The L8, taking center stage at the 2025 Jakarta International Auto Show. With its "Positive New Energy" pedigree, the L8 integrates Chery Group's global technology matrix and forward-development philosophy, blending cutting-edge innovation with refined aesthetics to set a new benchmark for sophisticated driving experiences.
Low Energy Consumption and Long Range for Effortless Journeys
For global consumers, "long driving range" and "reliable performance" remain two core demands. Backed by Chery Group's technology, the LEPAS L8 excels in both efficiency and endurance. As an export model equipped with Chery Group's Super Hybrid technology, it is designed to directly address the two key pain points of range anxiety and high running costs. The Super Hybrid system achieves breakthroughs in both energy efficiency and range through a "performance triangle" of 44.5% thermal efficiency, 4.2L/100km fuel consumption under battery-depleted conditions, and a combined range of over 1,300km. The L8 offers more than 100km of pure electric range, over 77km per liter of combined fuel efficiency, and still maintains above 20km per liter even after battery depletion. With a full tank and a full charge, its combined range exceeds 1,300km—eliminating users' worries about range and long queues at charging stations.
What sets the LEPAS L8 apart is its "global adaptability." To pave a truly boundary-free green charging path, Chery's charging R&D team has traveled to over 100 cities across 27 countries on five continents, covering four types of power grids, six civil voltage categories, and eight types of household sockets. Vehicles equipped with Chery's PHEV have withstood rigorous testing: three months of continuous driving in Middle Eastern sandstorms at 60℃; smooth operation in extreme cold at -42℃; sustained speeds of 185 km/h on Germany's unrestricted highways; and over one million kilometers of global road tests across 44 key countries. For drivers in regions plagued by congestion, range anxiety, cramped family trips, monsoon commutes, or parking risks in tight environments, the LEPAS L8 delivers with low fuel consumption, long endurance, spacious interiors, stable performance, and effortless parking.
Beyond efficiency and endurance, ride comfort and quietness are also hallmarks of the L8's sophisticated driving experience. The PHEV it equips can minimizes engine noise and vibration during electric driving, significantly improving cockpit serenity. Whether for daily commuting or long-distance travel, passengers can enjoy a smoother, quieter ride—each detail carefully refined to meet expectations for a premium journey.
Easy to Park and Use: Solving Complex Urban Challenges
In today's increasingly congested cities, parking has become the frustrating "last-mile" challenge for drivers worldwide. From dense open-air lots under the scorching Middle Eastern sun to cobblestone alleys in historic European towns, parking has turned into a test of skill. The LEPAS L8 addresses this need head-on with its industry-leading APA + RPA dual-mode intelligent parking system, offering an all-scenario, fully automatic, and worry-free smart parking experience—truly living up to the motto of "easy to park and user-friendly," allowing drivers to relax with just one click.
The APA automatic parking function can maneuver into spots within seconds—handling parallel, perpendicular, and even ultra-narrow spaces where only one vehicle can pass. The RPA remote parking system turns the smartphone into a remote controller, allowing users to park in or out while standing outside the car, thus avoiding the familiar struggle of "30 minutes to find a spot."
With "Leopard Aesthetics" as its design philosophy, the LEPAS L8 skillfully blends elegant styling with practical functionality, creating a refined interior that balances form and comfort. Measuring 4,688mm in length, 1,871mm in width, and 1,686mm in height, with a 2,800mm wheelbase, it offers 970mm of rear legroom, ensuring ample passenger space. Inside, the cockpit adopts a human-centered layout with premium two-tone trim for a soft and upscale ambiance. A full LCD instrument panel clearly presents driving information, while a 13.2-inch central touchscreen ensures smooth interaction. Thoughtful features such as a foldable tray table, power-adjustable seats, wireless phone charging, and a panoramic sunroof, combined with a UV-protective windshield and a negative-ion air purification system, ensure that every detail enhances comfort and convenience.
From alleviating range and cost anxieties to simplifying parking and driving, and refining every detail of the journey, the LEPAS L8 embodies the value of forward-looking new energy technology through "easy to park and user-friendly." For global consumers pursuing quality, it is not just a vehicle but a carrier of a refined lifestyle—infusing driving with a truly sophisticated new soul.
