About LEPAS
LEPAS is the new SUV brand by the Chery Group, built around power, speed, and elegant, design-led styling. LEPAS offers a full range of powertrains for different needs, from petrol (ICE) to plug-in hybrid (PHEV) to fully electric (BEV), and is preparing to enter the market in 2026.
LEPAS draws its name and identity from the leopard and from passion: Le + Pas. The leopard inspires the brand’s speed, power, and elegance, expressed through fluid exterior lines modelled on a sprinting leopard and a signature “leopard gaze,” a design language LEPAS calls the Leopard Aesthetic. “Le” also carries the idea of a leap: LEPAS is built not for one country but internationally, for different cultures and lifestyles. “Pas,” for passion, is the heart of the brand, created to inspire people to explore and pursue.
LEPAS is pronounced “le-pas.”
LEPAS is a brand by the Chery Group, created specifically for international markets and designed for different cultures and lifestyles. In Malaysia, LEPAS is operated by Chery Auto Malaysia Sdn. Bhd.
Guided by the tagline “Drive Your Elegance,” LEPAS pairs elegant, design-led styling with cutting-edge, human-centric intelligent technology. The brand’s philosophy is to infuse technology with “warmth,” elevating driving into a soulful expression of personal style and balance.
LEPAS is defined by three core pillars: Leopard Aesthetic, Elegant Technology, and Exquisite Space. Leopard Aesthetic is the LEPAS design language, built on fluid, agile curves and a signature "hunting eye" headlight inspired by a leopard. Elegant Technology is human-centric intelligent technology designed to feel warm rather than clinical. Exquisite Space is a refined, minimalist cabin conceived as a "third living space" beyond home and work.
LEPAS is a new brand, but it is backed by the Chery Group, an established global automotive group with a wide international footprint. In Malaysia, that commitment is concrete: a major local manufacturing investment at Chery Smart Auto City underpins LEPAS’s long-term presence in the market.
Models & SUV Range
LEPAS offers a range of three SUVs: the LEPAS L4, a B-segment compact SUV; the LEPAS L6, a mid-size C-segment SUV; and the LEPAS L8, a D-segment SUV. Together, the L4, L6, and L8 span the compact-to-large SUV range.
The main difference is size and the buyer it suits. The LEPAS L4 is the compact, city-friendly option in the B-segment; the LEPAS L6 steps up to a mid-size C-segment SUV with more room for growing families; and the LEPAS L8 is the largest, a D-segment SUV for those who want maximum presence and space.
LEPAS makes SUVs for people who want the space and practicality of an SUV without sacrificing style. As a design-led brand, LEPAS pairs expressive design with human-centric technology, backed by the engineering scale of the Chery Group.
LEPAS plans to offer a full range of powertrains for different needs in Malaysia: internal combustion (ICE), plug-in hybrid (PHEV), and battery-electric (BEV). This lets buyers choose the powertrain that best fits their lifestyle and driving.
