Amid the global shift to electric vehicles, LEPAS, the newest New Energy Vehicle (NEV) brand from Chery Auto, positions itself as the top brand for an elegant travel lifestyle, built on the specially developed LEX platform.
LEPAS creates "Elegant Technology" encompassing electric vehicle technologies, intelligent driving systems, and electrical and electronic architecture, delivering advanced technology into smooth, firm vehicle control, comfortable rides, and comprehensive protection. LEPAS thus makes elegant driving part of everyday travel lifestyle.
The LEX platform is developed with elegant driving as its core, supporting various powertrains including Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV) and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEV), as well as multiple vehicle sizes to meet diverse regional travel needs and use cases. This platform features an Electrical and Electronic Architecture (EEA) designed with centralized domain controllers and gigabit automotive Ethernet, enabling rapid driver command detection and precise vehicle control. It offers smooth, linear power delivery, accurate and consistent steering, gentle braking, and body motion control, creating a driving experience that is both firm and effortless.
The LEX platform is designed for continuous development. Currently, it supports Level 2 intelligent driving assistance and highway navigation automation (Highway NOA), scheduled for release this year. LEPAS vehicles equipped with advanced Super Intelligent Valet Parking (SIVP) will debut in select markets, supporting extreme tight-space parking, automated indoor parking navigation, and rapid parking to meet diverse parking needs. Full-domain Over-the-Air (OTA) software updates enable continuous feature upgrades throughout the vehicle's life.
To accommodate diverse global driving conditions, the LEX platform is tuned for varied regional driving environments and further adapted to local markets, balancing power, driving range, and vehicle control. BEV models feature a 12-in-1 integrated electric drive motor system with 90.8% system efficiency and battery cell energy density of 186 Wh/kg. The battery supports fast charging from 30% to 80% in 20 minutes and operates across a wide temperature range from -25°C to 55°C, meeting diverse travel needs. The PHEV uses the LEPAS Super Hybrid system, combining smooth power delivery with extended range for confident driving in all conditions.
Safety-wise, the LEX platform complies with the 2026 Euro NCAP safety standards for preventive safety systems. The ADAS system has been tested and validated in over 1,200 simulated scenarios, providing preventive safety assistance across various conditions including lane changes, traffic crossing, and low-visibility environments. The Driver Monitoring System (DMS) has been upgraded to a 25-point detection standard. A four-layer backup unlocking system enhances occupant protection in severe accidents. The battery meets IP68 and IPX9K protection standards and features an enhanced Thermal Runaway prevention system specially designed for tropical climates, high temperatures, and humidity to maintain stability and reliability under challenging conditions.
LEPAS's "Elegant Technology" goes beyond technical specifications to deliver stability, reliability, and firmness in all driving situations. LEPAS believes technology creates true value only when it brings comfort and ease to every journey. Moving forward, LEPAS will continue to center "Elegant Technology" in all its products, delivering refined, steady, and elegant travel experiences worldwide—redefining quality living in the new energy era.
