A new affordable electric SUV is one step closer to Aussie buyers.

These details come after a delayed Australian arrival for Lepas, with the brand originally supposed to launch in mid-2026.

The L6 will be officially revealed at the Everything Electric event in Sydney on the 18th of September.

The Lepas brand targets lifestyle-focused buyers, boasting a more Euro-influenced design, differing from Chery, Jaecoo and Omoda.

The electric L6 will be powered by a single front-mounted electric motor, producing 160kW and 275Nm.

The L6 will only launch in Australia in front-wheel drive, and there are no confirmed plans for an all-wheel drive variant to arrive in the future.

It will be equipped with a 65kWh lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) battery, offering 440km of driving range, according to WLTP standards.

It is capable of DC charging from 30 to 80 per cent in 22 minutes.

The cabin’s interior features a 13.2-inch central touchscreen and an 8.88-inch digital driver display, along with an eight-speaker Sony sound system.

It comes as standard with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as a 50W wireless phone charger.

Seats are wrapped in a synthetic leather, with the front ones heated and ventilated.

There is a panoramic sunroof, with a slide and title function and a powered sunshade to compliment 19-inch alloy wheels.

Buyers can expect it to be competitive with the $41,990 price tag of the Atto 3 and the EX5.

The similarly-sized Jaecoo J7 PHEV starts from $43,990 (drive-away), so the L6 is likely to be more expensive, but still slip under the $50,000 mark.
