Lepas has not reached UK showrooms yet, but it is not arriving as an unknown outsider. It is the next brand from the wider Chery group, which already has a growing presence here through Omoda and Jaecoo, as well as the Chery brand itself. That gives Lepas a strong starting point for the brand’s arrival in the second half of 2026.

The simplest way to think about Lepas is as the next part of Chery’s wider rollout. Omoda and Jaecoo have already shown how quickly the group can move when it wants to establish itself in a new market, with a growing dealer network, a steady flow of new models and plenty of effort to get the brands noticed.

It is still early days, so there is no point pretending the full picture is clear yet. UK model details, pricing and final positioning will make more sense once launch gets closer. Even so, the broad shape is already fairly easy to read. Lepas looks set to follow the same general approach as its sister brands, with SUVs, lots of equipment and a value-focused pitch aimed at buyers who are open to something new.
