LEPAS Concept Car Premiere at Chery International User Summit

The event saw LEPAS showcase a range of technologies that have been developed for future models, demonstrating the brand’s vision of elegant, electrified mobility. The concept car and additional technologies were at the forefront of the summit, an annual global showcase of the latest products and technologies from across the Chery Group. These announcements formed part of the inaugural LEPAS Global Elegant Lifestyle Week that took place from 18 to 24 October, alongside the summit.

Designed with features that aim to make day-to-day driving easier, the current LEPAS L8 model seeks to reinforce the LEPAS philosophy that technology should enhance life without overcomplicating it. The Chery International User Summit also saw the unveiling of further LEPAS models, the innovative LEPAS L6 and LEPAS L4, both due to arrive to the UK market in the upcoming months. Through these new models, the existing line up, and future technology, LEPAS are hoping to make the driving experience calmer and more comfortable with advanced features that feel intuitive.

The first LEPAS concept car, revealed on the 22^nd October 2026, the LEPAS AURA, reflects the LEPAS brand’s Next-Generation Leopard Aesthetics design language. The sporty-looking compact car explores the next evolution of automotive styling with sculpted lines and an elevated use of light to the rear. Treading the line between hatchback and shooting brake, the LEPAS AURA has been designed with two-doors and a long wheelbase, bringing a sporty edge to the brand’s existing and upcoming SUV focussed line-up.

Incorporating the ‘leopard eye’ signature of all LEPAS models across the headlights, the LEPAS AURA concept was presented with a blank grille able to display graphics, lighting and animations to offer drivers a chance to personalise their drive. The capacity for personalisation extends to the tail-light displays on the elliptical rear screen. At the unveiling it was announced that the front grille, with its dark frontage and wide frame, will carry though to future LEPAS models.

Ray Wang, Managing Director of LEPAS UK, said of the event: “This is an exciting glimpse of what comes next for LEPAS. Our new design language will give the brand an even stronger visual identity, while future technology will help make our cars more intuitive and enjoyable to live with.

“Together they will help us build deeper connections with our customers, through cars that reflect their tastes and understand their everyday needs. That is what elegant mobility means to us: distinctive design and thoughtful technology that enhance life.”
