KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 10 (Bernama) -- Chery Auto’s premium new energy vehicle (NEV) brand LEPAS took 34 ambassadors from 15 countries, including journalists from motoring media outlets, on a drive of nearly 700 kilometres (km) in its LEPAS L6 EV from Shanghai to Wuhu.
The drive, the brand’s first Global Journey of Elegant Driving, was held during the inaugural LEPAS Global Elegant Lifestyle Week and passed through Tonglu, Qiandao Lake and She County, covering city roads, highways and mountain routes.
On the winding roads around Qiandao Lake, ambassadors from Europe and Brazil tested the car’s handling, with its 12-in-1 electric drive system and European-tuned chassis delivering smooth power and confident handling, the company said in a statement.
The car’s ride, steering and braking drew praise from ambassadors of Motor1, IG Carros and MSN, while an ambassador of the UK’s Auto Express highlighted its acceleration when merging onto highways.
For participants from Southeast Asia, the focus was on driving range, charging and smart features, including the car’s ability to charge from 30 per cent to 80 per cent in 20 minutes, its voice assistant, and its advanced driver assistance and automated parking systems.
An ambassador from South Africa’s Navigating Media praised the LEPAS L6 EV's premium interior materials and SONY audio system.
LEPAS said feedback from the drive would help it refine its products for users worldwide.
