Another new carmaker from will be entering the automotive fray in Malaysia. Prior to its official debut in the first half of 2026, Lepas Malaysia has announced its network expansion strategy for Malaysia, marking a major milestone towards seeing their cars on the road.
The initial network will comprise the establishment of 20 sales and service outlets in strategic locations covering Peninsular and East Malaysia, including Kuala Lumpur, Selangor, Johor, Penang, Sabah, Sarawak beyond. That number will grow to 30 outlets by the end of 2026.
Part of the setup will include a comprehensive parts supply network and warranty support systems to uphold service quality standards.
Lepas will introduce three models, the L4, L6 and L8 SUVs, with the latter being the first to be sold, followed by the former two. All ride on Chery Group’s new global New Energy Vehicle (NEV) platform. This versatile underpinning was engineered to accommodate diverse vehicle sizes and support multiple powertrains, including internal combustion, hybrid and electric propulsion.
Barely a year old, the backing of Chery though has seen Lepas rapidly establish a strong global presence across Europe, Middle East, Africa and Southeast Asia. Malaysian customers will be among the first to experience the brand.
Smartly leveraging on Chery Group’s decades of expertise and global supply chain connections, Lepas aims to bring a mobility experience to Malaysia that blends technological sophistication with elegance. If you were wondering, Lepas is a combination of ‘leap’ and ‘passion.’
Part of the first 20 outlets will include its signature Lifestyle Experience Centre in the Klang Valley, an immersive space for customers to experience the brand’s philosophies via curated lifestyle zones and learn about Lepas Elegant Technology.
“As we prepare for our 2026 debut, our focus is to ensure every customer experience’s the refined design and dependable technology that define LEPAS. Our growing network marks the beginning of long-term commitment to the Malaysian market,” said Men Lin Bo, Executive Vice President, Chery Corporate Malaysia.
