Shanghai:Chery Auto's premium new energy vehicle (NEV) brand, LEPAS, recently showcased its LEPAS L6 EV by taking 34 ambassadors from 15 countries on an extensive drive from Shanghai to Wuhu, covering nearly 700 kilometers. The participants included journalists from various motoring media outlets.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, this drive marked the brand's first Global Journey of Elegant Driving and was part of the inaugural LEPAS Global Elegant Lifestyle Week. The journey traversed through diverse terrains, including city roads, highways, and mountain routes, with stops at Tonglu, Qiandao Lake, and She County.

During the drive, ambassadors from Europe and Brazil tested the vehicle's handling on the winding roads around Qiandao Lake. The car's 12-in-1 electric drive system and European-tuned chassis demonstrated smooth power and confident handling, according to a statement from the company. Ambassadors from Motor1, IG Carros, and MSN praised the car's ride, steering, and braking, while an ambassador from the UK's Auto Express highlighted its acceleration capabilities when merging onto highways.

For Southeast Asian participants, the focus was on the vehicle's driving range and smart features, which include the ability to charge from 30% to 80% in just 20 minutes, a voice assistant, and advanced driver assistance and automated parking systems. An ambassador from South Africa's Navigating Media lauded the premium interior materials and the SONY audio system featured in the LEPAS L6 EV.

LEPAS stated that the feedback gathered from this drive would be instrumental in refining their products for a global audience.
