Lepas is continuing its South African expansion with the introduction of the new L6, a midsize SUV that aims to combine premium styling, modern technology and a generous list of standard features at what is expected to be a competitive price point.

It follows the launch of the smaller L4 and forms part of Chery's strategy to establish Lepas as a more premium brand.

While the L6 shares its underpinnings with existing Chery products, it has been given its own identity with distinctive styling, an upmarket interior and a strong emphasis on technology.

We got a sneak peak and test drive before its official launch at the end of July while pre-orders are currently being taken.
