The Lepas L6 is a mid-size electric SUV from Lepas, Chery's new premium-lifestyle sub-brand that also brings the L8 to Australia. Chery has confirmed the L6 for an Australian launch in the fourth quarter of 2026, but it is not on sale yet and full local specs are still preliminary. For Australia it launches as an electric-only single-motor SUV, with a claimed 160kW and 275Nm, a 67.1kWh lithium iron phosphate battery and around 450km of WLTP range on 400-volt electrics. Globally the L6 also comes as a petrol and a plug-in hybrid, but only the electric version is confirmed for the local launch, so its powertrain differs from the plug-in hybrid L8. Pricing, charging speeds, dimensions and an ANCAP rating are all still to be confirmed.
