1,058 km of total range, 279 horsepower, and starting at 29,990 € with subsidies: the new plug-in hybrid SUV that is already available for pre-order in Spain

The arrival of new Chinese brands continues to expand the range of plug-in hybrid cars in Spain, especially in the compact SUV segment. One of the latest models to enter the market has just confirmed its launch price and officially opened its pre-order period. It is a vehicle 4.55 meters long that combines 279 horsepower, up to 92 kilometers of certified electric range, and a listed price starting at 29,990 €, although this figure includes commercial discounts and government subsidies.

The star of the show is the LEPAS L6 Super Hybrid, a new plug-in hybrid SUV from the brand under Chery Group, the Chinese manufacturer that continues to expand its presence in Europe. The company announced on November 12 that the model is now available for reservation in Spain, with the first units arriving at its dealerships by the end of the same month. With this launch, LEPAS expands its lineup, which also includes the L8 Super Hybrid.

Starting at 29,990 € with discounts and incentives

The main news is the confirmation of its prices for the Spanish market. The LEPAS L6 Super Hybrid will be available in two trim levels, named Essence and Elegance. The Essence version has a retail price of 36,900 €, which drops to 29,990 € as announced during the launch campaign after applying commercial discounts and the Plan Auto+ incentives offered by the brand.

The Elegance trim starts at a price of 39,900 €, while the promotional price listed is 32,840 €, also including discounts and incentives. Therefore, the lowest prices quoted by LEPAS should not be confused with the regular prices of the vehicle without any promotions. The final amount will depend on the commercial terms and actual access to the relevant incentives.

The company has also announced special financing terms during the launch, offering 0% TIN. This advantage comes in addition to the availability for ordering and the expected arrival at dealerships by the end of November. However, it will be necessary to check the specific financing conditions, including potential fees and the effective annual interest rate, before determining the total cost of the purchase.

A plug-in hybrid with 279 HP and up to 1,058 km of range

Beyond price, one of the main selling points of the new LEPAS L6 is its plug-in hybrid propulsion system. The combination delivers 279 horsepower and allows up to 92 kilometers of range in electric mode according to the WLTP combined cycle. This figure increases to 125 kilometers in the homologation urban cycle, where lower speeds and traffic conditions favor electric operation.

The difference between these two figures is significant. The 125 kilometers correspond to the urban rating, while the 92 kilometers represent the combined rating. According to data provided by the manufacturer, the SUV can also achieve a total range of 1,058 kilometers by using both its battery and the combustion engine. These are ratings certified or announced by the brand and may vary depending on actual driving conditions.

Another notable feature is the ability to perform fast DC fast charging. The LEPAS L6’s battery supports a power output of up to 40 kW, allowing it to go from 30% to 80% charge in approximately 20 minutes, according to official specifications. This capability is designed to help restore electrical range during trips and reduce the time needed to use the vehicle in electric mode again.

In terms of dimensions, the new model measures 4,554 millimeters in length and has a wheelbase of 2,700 millimeters. Its cabin is designed for five passengers and features a trunk with a capacity of 386 liters, which can be expanded to 1,255 liters when the rear seats are folded down. These dimensions place it in the compact SUV segment, one of the categories with the widest range of hybrid and electric models in Spain.

Two trims with screens up to 13.2 inches

The range starts with the Essence trim, which comes standard with 19-inch alloy wheels, full LED headlights, a two-zone automatic climate control system with vents for the rear seats, a heated steering wheel, and a keyless entry and start system. It also features heated and electrically foldable exterior mirrors, along with various comfort features that LEPAS has chosen to include from the entry-level version.

The technological features include an 8.88-inch digital instrument cluster and a 13.2-inch central display, both controlled by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 processor. It offers wireless compatibility with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, voice control, and remote software updates. This way, both versions share a common digital foundation, eliminating the need to choose the most expensive trim to access the main connectivity features.

Above this is the Elegance trim, which adds features such as the automatic parking system APA, a 540-degree panoramic camera, and front seats with electric adjustment, heating, and ventilation. It also includes an electric panoramic roof, an electric trunk lid, 50 W wireless phone charging, and a Sony audio system with eight speakers.

In terms of aesthetics, the LEPAS L6 features the design language the brand calls Leopard Aesthetics, with a body featuring bold lines, stylized headlights, and a luminous rear signature that runs across the width of the vehicle. Buyers can choose from five metallic colors at no additional cost: Anthracite Gray, Mica Silver, Glacier White, Onyx Black, and Amber Orange.

With pre-orders now open, the LEPAS L6 enters the Spanish market with a lineup that combines high power, an approved electric range of up to 92 kilometers, and two trim levels. Its main commercial appeal will be the promotional price of 29,990 €, though it should be noted that this amount is subject to discounts and incentives included in the offer. The first units are expected to arrive at dealerships before the end of November.
