Lepas has revealed the spec of its L6 EV all-electric C-segment SUV ahead of its UK launch in a few months’ time.
UK customers will be able to choose between two trim levels: Essence, which includes a comprehensive suite of technology, safety and comfort features; and Elevate, which adds further luxury, convenience and intelligent parking technology.
Both variants use a 65kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery and front-mounted electric motor to produce 160kW (217PS) and 275Nm of torque, with acceleration from 0-62mph in 7.9 seconds and a top speed of 111mph. Its 279-mile WLTP range is designed to cover everyday journeys as well as longer trips. When charging is needed, the 120kW DC capability charges from 30% to 80% in approximately 22 minutes.
The L6 EV is built on Lepas‘s LEX platform – a new-energy architecture developed around intelligence, efficiency and safety. The EV’s integrated 12-in-1 electric drive system has been designed for efficiency and smooth power delivery, with electric power steering and an electric brake booster as standard.
The L6 EV features Bosch IBP 2.0 braking technology, which has been developed to improve braking performance, energy recovery and pedal feel, while also reducing the pitching sensation sometimes associated with electric vehicles.
Lepas’s European chassis team carried out dedicated development work to refine the L6 EV for European roads, engineering it to combine smooth electric performance with the ride comfort and predictable handling expected by European drivers.
A standard 3.3kW vehicle-to-load (V2L) function also allows owners to use energy stored in the L6 EV’s battery to power compatible external electrical equipment – adding useful flexibility for outdoor activities and camping trips.
Order books for the L6 are expected to open in Q4 2026.
