LEPAS hosts global test drives to showcase everyday EV tech

LEPAS will bring more than 300 test-drive ambassadors from global markets to Wuhu, China, from Oct. 18-24 for its first Global Elegant Lifestyle Week. The event is designed to show how the Chery premium NEV brand’s intelligent features work in daily driving and parking, while gathering feedback to shape future products.

Why it matters: - LEPAS is using real-world driving to sell more than features. The brand is trying to prove that its NEVs can make everyday mobility easier, calmer and more intuitive. - The event also gives LEPAS direct feedback from drivers in multiple markets, which can influence future vehicle development and its broader user ecosystem.

What happened: - LEPAS invited more than 300 test-drive ambassadors from global markets to Wuhu, China, for its first Global Elegant Lifestyle Week from Oct. 18-24. - Participants include ambassadors from the U.K., Thailand, Brazil, Indonesia and South Africa. - The event puts LEPAS NEVs into everyday driving scenarios, including city traffic and intelligent parking. - LEPAS is also showcasing Chery Auto’s AiMOGA robots at the event.

The details: - The test drives focus on how LEPAS intelligent technology performs in daily use, from smooth urban driving to challenging road conditions and routine parking. - LEPAS is highlighting the L4, L6 and L8 models as part of a lineup built to address different powertrain preferences and mobility needs. - Ambassadors are evaluating powertrain response, steering and driving stability. - Each model is positioned to deliver a distinct driving experience. - Parking technology is a central part of the demonstrations. - The LEPAS L8 PHEV features Automated Parking Assist, Remote Parking Assist and Super Intelligent Valet Parking. - Test-drive ambassadors are putting those systems through different parking situations. - LEPAS says the goal is to show how intelligent assistance can make parking simpler and more convenient.

Between the lines: - LEPAS is framing “elegant technology” as a lifestyle proposition, not just a vehicle spec sheet. - The company is leaning on global user participation to build credibility across markets with different driving habits and mobility expectations. - The event theme, “TOGETHER IN ELEGANCE,” suggests LEPAS wants users to help shape the brand’s next phase, not just receive finished products.

What's next: - LEPAS plans to use feedback from the week’s driving sessions to guide ongoing vehicle technology development. - The company will continue expanding internationally through local operations and a growing sales-and-service network. - More updates are expected as LEPAS advances its global elegant mobility push and broader lineup strategy.

The bottom line: - LEPAS is turning a product launch-style event into a proof point for how its NEVs handle everyday life, while using global test drivers to refine the brand for international markets.
