LEPAS: Pioneering Safety and Elegance in Mobility
In the rapidly evolving world of automobiles, safety is not just an option; it is a necessity, especially as vehicles transform into vital extensions of our everyday lives. LEPAS, a new global new-energy brand by Chery Group, stands at the forefront of this evolution, offering a driving experience that prioritizes elegance and safety.
Safety as the Core of Elegant Mobility
The philosophy behind LEPAS is encapsulated in the mantra, "Drive Your Elegance." This guiding principle emphasizes that luxury is not merely speed, but a combination of secure, thoughtful design and cutting-edge technology. To fulfill this vision, LEPAS is committed to maintaining rigorous global safety standards, meeting even the stringent criteria set by the 2026 Euro NCAP five-star benchmark.
A Robust Safety Framework
The safety system of LEPAS has been developed based on a comprehensive four-stage process that includes risk prediction, collision protection, and post-accident rescue scenarios. By integrating these elements, LEPAS creates a robust safety mechanism that efficiently safeguards drivers and passengers.
Innovative Body Structure Design
At the heart of this technology lies a sophisticated body structure designed with safety in mind. Utilizing a three-path front impact design and a layout that includes 75% high-strength materials and 1500 MPa ultra-high-strength steel in key areas, LEPAS vehicles function as a "mobile safety capsule." This innovative structure, combined with an advanced restraint system featuring 10 airbags, ensures a high level of protection for occupants, effectively absorbing impact forces and reducing secondary injury risks.
Engineered for Real-World Challenges
LEPAS does not just theorize safety; it employs real-world data to inform its design choices. Studies indicate that underbody damage is most prevalent during collisions at speeds between 30–70 km/h. Consequently, LEPAS reinforces chassis structures for enhanced durability. Additionally, understanding the climatic challenges faced in various regions, the LEPAS L8 model boasts a wading depth exceeding 600 mm, allowing drivers to navigate through water-logged roads without fear.
Proven Performance in Challenging Scenarios
Accidents often occur during unexpected circumstances, such as rollovers, which account for 20% of single-vehicle accidents. To address this, LEPAS conducts rigorous testing and validation of its vehicles in various scenarios, demonstrated at the 2025 Chery International User Summit where the LEPAS L8 underwent multiple challenge simulations.
A Suite of Active Safety Features
Complementing its foundational safety aspects, LEPAS includes an array of active safety and parking assistance systems. These technologies are designed to enhance driver confidence and control, ensuring that every journey is not only safe but also enjoyable. By maintaining a focus on holistic safety, LEPAS redefines what it means to drive with elegance.
Delivering Confidence Across All Roads
Anchored in Chery Group's commitment to safety, LEPAS introduces an all-encompassing safety framework designed to accommodate users from various global contexts. The approach seeks to embrace the diverse and dynamic needs of drivers worldwide.
LEPAS extends the definition of elegance beyond aesthetics, advocating for assurance and preparedness that reflects modern mobility's challenges. In embodying safety matched with exquisite design, LEPAS becomes a notable player in the automotive industry, ensuring that every journey resonates with the motto to "Drive Your Elegance."
