Lepas has put an Australian price on its first local model: the battery-electric L6 SUV starts at A$47,990 MSRP. The brand’s October 16, 2026 release schedules dealer test drives from early November, so the price announcement should not be confused with an already-completed nationwide showroom rollout.

What the announced price includes

The release lists a 65 kWh lithium-iron-phosphate battery, 160 kW and 275 Nm, with 440 km of WLTP range. It also quotes a 22-minute charge from 30% to 80% using a 120 kW charger. These are manufacturer-published figures, not Chiefs Review measurements.

That charging window is important: it is not a 10–80% result. Buyers comparing brochures should keep the starting charge level consistent. Likewise, MSRP is not a promised drive-away total; request a location-specific quote before comparing purchase costs.

Lepas’s earlier Australian specification announcement identifies front-wheel drive, heated and ventilated front seats, a 13.2-inch touchscreen and an eight-speaker Sony system. The brand describes its LEXP architecture as supporting both battery-electric and plug-in-hybrid vehicles; this L6 announcement concerns the battery-electric model.

Ownership details to check

The pricing release specifies seven years of unlimited-kilometer vehicle warranty and eight years/200,000 km for the battery. Its separate model page says roadside cover renews with scheduled authorized-dealer servicing. Read the actual ownership terms rather than assuming every seven-year benefit is unconditional.

The official L6 page also labels its imagery as overseas models. Our featured photograph is identified accordingly. More launches appear in our EVs & Hybrids section.
