LEPAS L6 EV: Global Driving Tour Impresses International Automotive Ambassadors

WUHU, China: The LEPAS L6 EV has attracted positive feedback from international automotive media representatives and industry ambassadors after completing its first-ever LEPAS Global Journey of Elegant Driving, covering nearly 700 kilometres across China.

The journey took place during the inaugural LEPAS Global Elegant Lifestyle Week, bringing together 34 Elegant Driving Ambassadors from 15 countries. Participants travelled from Shanghai to Wuhu through Tonglu, Qiandao Lake and She County, experiencing the electric SUV across urban roads, highways and mountainous routes.

For participants from Europe and Brazil, chassis performance and handling were among the main priorities. The winding roads around Qiandao Lake provided an opportunity to assess the vehicle’s driving capabilities. Equipped with an integrated 12-in-1 electric drive system and a chassis tuned by a professional European team, the LEPAS L6 EV delivered smooth power and stable handling.

Representatives from Motor1, IG Carros and MSN praised the vehicle’s chassis, suspension, steering and braking systems, highlighting its comfortable ride and natural handling on narrow roads. An ambassador from the UK’s Auto Express also commended its smooth acceleration and power when merging onto highways.

For participants from South Africa and Latin America, the in-car entertainment experience was another important consideration. An ambassador from South Africa’s Navigating Media praised the LEPAS L6 EV’s interior materials, craftsmanship and immersive sound quality delivered by its SONY audio system.

In Southeast Asia, where younger consumers increasingly prioritise affordability and intelligent technology, participants focused on the vehicle’s electric powertrain and smart cockpit features. They highlighted its driving range and ability to charge from 30% to 80% state of charge (SOC) in 20 minutes.

The vehicle’s intelligent features also attracted attention, including an all-scenario voice assistant, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), Automated Parking Assist (APA), Remote Parking Assist (RPA) and a 540-degree panoramic view system. Participants said these technologies added convenience and confidence when navigating challenging roads.

Beyond evaluating the vehicle’s performance, the journey provided an opportunity for international participants to exchange views on elegant mobility and modern lifestyles, reflecting the collaborative approach of LEPAS Global Elegant Lifestyle Week.
