Johannesburg, 29 May 2026 – Lepas South Africa is reinforcing its commitment to customer satisfaction through the introduction of Lepas Care, an exclusive ownership support programme designed for owners of the Lepas Javan and Pantera.
Developed to simplify vehicle ownership and provide greater peace of mind, Lepas Care combines practical support services with the strength of Chery South Africa’s established aftersales infrastructure. The programme forms part of Lepas’ broader strategy to deliver a premium ownership experience that extends well beyond the showroom floor.
Built on a proven national support ecosystem, Lepas Care is designed to make everyday motoring more convenient and reassuring for South African customers. The programme includes assistance with minor interior and exterior repairs resulting from everyday wear and tear, access to courtesy vehicles while customer vehicles are undergoing servicing, safe travel support following social occasions, and insurance excess assistance.
Customers purchasing a Lepas Javan or Pantera automatically receive a two-year standard Lepas Care plan. Those seeking additional peace of mind can opt for a five-year extended plan that provides enhanced coverage and higher benefit allowances.
Supporting the programme is Lepas South Africa’s expanding national dealership network, which currently comprises 27 active dealerships across the country. The network serves as a cornerstone of the brand’s customer experience strategy, ensuring accessibility, consistent service standards, and comprehensive support for owners wherever they are located.
The introduction of Lepas Care complements the brand’s value-focused market positioning. The Lepas Javan is available from R4 399 per month, while the Lepas Pantera is available from R5 099 per month, subject to terms and conditions. Together with the ownership benefits offered through Lepas Care, these vehicles aim to provide customers with an attractive blend of affordability, technology, design, and support.
“South African customers expect more than just a vehicle. They expect confidence in ownership, dependable support, and convenience in their everyday lives. Lepas Care delivers exactly that,” said Jay Jay Botes, General Manager of Lepas and Chery South Africa.
“What makes this offering powerful is the infrastructure behind it. By leveraging the established aftersales network and expertise of Chery South Africa, we are able to deliver a premium, consistent, and nationally supported ownership experience from day one.”
Botes added that the dealership network plays a vital role in delivering the brand promise to customers.
“Our 27 dealerships play a critical role in bringing the Lepas experience to life. They are not just sales points, they are full customer experience hubs where aftersales, service, and support come together seamlessly.”
As part of the wider Chery Group ecosystem, Lepas continues to gain momentum in South Africa by combining contemporary SUV styling, competitive pricing, and a structured aftersales framework tailored to local market requirements.
With the launch of Lepas Care, the brand further strengthens its commitment to delivering a complete ownership journey, ensuring customers benefit not only from their vehicles but also from the support network that stands behind them.
Lepas Care. Built for the road ahead.
