As the global automotive industry accelerates towards electrification, Chery Auto’s new-energy vehicle (NEV) brand LEPAS is establishing itself as the “Preferred Brand for Elegant Mobility Life”. Developed around its purpose-built Intelligent LEX platform, LEPAS has created an “Elegant Technology” framework spanning electric vehicle technologies, intelligent driving systems and advanced electronic and electrical architectures.
The brand aims to transform sophisticated technology into a more refined and intuitive driving experience, with a focus on composed handling, superior ride comfort and comprehensive vehicle safety. By integrating these technologies into everyday driving, LEPAS wants to make elegant and intuitive mobility a practical reality.
LEX Platform forms the foundation of next generation mobility
Specifically designed around the concept of elegant driving, the intelligent LEX platform is engineered for scalability and continuous evolution. It supports multiple powertrain configurations, including battery electric vehicles (BEV) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV), while also accommodating vehicles in different sizes and segments to meet the different needs and driving conditions of customers around the world.
At the heart of the platform is a next-generation electronic and electrical architecture (EEA), including an integrated domain controller and Gigabit Automotive Ethernet. This architecture enables faster processing of driver inputs and more precise control of key vehicle functions.
On the road, the technology is designed to provide smooth and linear acceleration, precise and consistent steering response and progressive braking. Controlled body movements contribute to a stable and comfortable ride, resulting in a driving experience that feels composed, smooth and effortless.
Through the LEX platform, LEPAS aims to combine advanced vehicle technology with everyday utility, establishing a technological foundation for its expanding global NEV portfolio.
Plus, the Intelligent LEX platform is designed for continuous evolution. It currently supports Level 2 Intelligent Driving Assistance systems, with Highway NOA set to be introduced within the year. LEPAS models equipped with the Super Intelligent Valet Parking (SIVP) system will first be introduced in select markets, supporting ultra-narrow parking spaces, automatic navigation within parking facilities and fast parking to meet diverse parking needs. Full-domain OTA enables ongoing feature upgrades throughout the vehicle lifecycle, allowing a great driving experience to evolve with users’ mobility needs.
Technology-driven innovation: bringing great mobility to the world
To adapt to diverse driving conditions in global markets, the intelligent LEX platform is calibrated according to different global driving conditions and tuned for local markets to balance power, range and handling, delivering a consistently great driving experience around the world. The BEV model features a highly integrated 12-in-1 electric drive unit, achieving a system efficiency of 90.8%. With a cell energy density of 186 Wh/kg, the battery supports fast charging from 30% to 80% in 20 minutes and is capable of operating in an ultra-wide temperature range from -25°C to 55°C, meeting various mobility requirements. The PHEV models, powered by the LEPAS Super Hybrid system, combine smooth power delivery with extended range for confident driving in a variety of environments.
As for safety, the intelligent LEX platform has been developed in line with 2026 Euro NCAP safety standards. As for active safety, the ADAS active safety system has been validated in more than 1,200 scenarios, providing active safety assistance in a variety of situations including lane changes, crossing traffic and low visibility environments, while the Driver Monitoring System (DMS) has also been upgraded to 25-point standard. Four-layer redundant unlocking design provides additional protection for users in extreme accidents. The power battery meets both IP68 and IPX9K battery protection ratings, including advanced thermal runaway protection for tropical, high temperature and humid environments to maintain stability and reliability in extreme conditions.
LEPAS’s “Elegant Technology” is not just about specifications, but about providing stability, reliability and composure in various driving scenarios. LEPAS believes that technology provides real value when it brings greater comfort and ease to every journey. Looking ahead, LEPAS will continue to put “elegant technology” at the center of its products, bringing an exquisite, streamlined and elegant mobility experience to users around the world and redefining quality life in the NEV era.
