Visual assistance systems include a 360-degree camera suite, a “transparent chassis” view for obstacles in front of the vehicle, and a Sentry Mode to record video of notable events detected around the vehicle. The Lepas L6 gets seven airbags, as well as ISOFIX child seat mounts in the outer rear seats.
In Thailand, the Lepas L6 will be offered in five exterior colours; orange, purple, white, black and grey. The Lepas L6 will be the brand’s first model to be assembled in Thailand, at the Chery group plant in Nikhom Pattana of the Rayong province. Market launch for the L6 in Thailand is set to be later this month.
In Malaysia, Lepas Malaysia has signed distribution agreements with 20 dealers, and it aims to have 30 dealerships in Malaysia by the end of this year.The L6 is expected to be one of two models to spearhead the brand’s entry into the Malaysian market, the other being the larger L8.
Being a C-segment battery electric SUV priced at the equivalent of RM100k, similar pricing in Malaysia would pit the Lepas L6 against the Proton eMas 7, which in addition to its BEV form, has a PHEV variant as well.
