Chinese brand Lepas has announced its L6 BEV mid-size electric SUV will cost $47,990 before on-road costs in Australia.
Chinese brand Lepas has announced its first Australian model, the five-seat L6 BEV Signature mid-size electric SUV, priced at $47,990 before on-road costs. Order books are now open, with first customer deliveries expected in November 2026. The price includes premium paint as part of an introductory offer, saving $800, and black is available as a no-cost pre-sale exclusive option.
Lepas is pitched as a more upmarket brand and will be sold at both Chery dealers and standalone sites, with 40 locations planned by the end of 2026. The L6 BEV Signature is the only model grade announced so far. The vehicle measures 4570mm long, 1852mm wide and 1694mm tall, with a 2700mm wheelbase. A plug-in hybrid version is scheduled to arrive in Australian showrooms in 2027 at a lower price.
The L6's $47,990 price is higher than similarly sized rivals such as the BYD Atto 3 Evo and Geely EX5, both starting at $41,990 before on-road costs. It aligns with the MG S5 EV Essence 62 at $47,990 drive-away and the Skoda Elroq 60 Select at $47,990 before on-roads. Lepas plans five model lines for Australia, including the smaller L4 BEV SUV in December 2026, larger L8 and L9 SUVs in 2027 and 2028, and an L2 hatchback in 2028.
