South African motorists will soon have the opportunity to experience an entirely new interpretation of premium mobility, as Lepas Automotive prepares to introduce its first model to the local market. The highly anticipated Lepas L4 will officially arrive at authorised dealerships nationwide from 3 March 2026, marking the start of the brand’s product rollout in South Africa.

Positioned as a refined new entrant in the premium SUV segment, the L4 represents the debut model from Lepas, a new marque operating under the globally established Chery International Group. With a focus on distinctive design, advanced technology and a carefully crafted driving experience, the L4 aims to offer South African drivers a fresh perspective on modern luxury and performance.

The SUV arrives with a bold and sculptural exterior design that reflects the brand’s emphasis on contemporary elegance. Inside, the L4 features an intuitive driver-centric cockpit designed to place comfort, connectivity and control at the centre of the driving experience. Combined with a refined ride and attention to detail throughout the cabin, the L4 seeks to deliver a sense of sophistication that aligns with the brand’s vision of elevated mobility.

According to Jay Jay Botes, General Manager of Lepas South Africa, the launch represents a significant milestone for the brand as it enters the local automotive landscape.

With growing curiosity around our SUV, we have ensured that our authorised dealerships are fully prepared to deliver an exceptional ownership experience from day one.”
