The event, part of the 2026 Chery International User Summit, marks the official start of the first LEPAS Global Elegant Lifestyle Week, bringing together 34 Elegant Driving Ambassadors from 15 countries to test the L6 EV across diverse routes over two days and one night. The drive follows the model’s official launch in Thailand last July, where it received warm feedback from Thai customers and media. The L6 EV is positioned as an Intelligent Urban Living SUV, featuring distinctive design, a spacious Nature‑Inspired Tech Cabin, high‑performance electric powertrain, comfort‑focused suspension, ADAS driver‑assist systems, and intelligent parking aid. It offers strong range and fast‑charging capability for long‑distance travel. The route from Shanghai to Wuhu will take the vehicle through city streets, inter‑city highways, lakeside roads, and winding mountain roads to assess performance in all conditions. Ambassadors will evaluate acceleration, driver‑assist response, ride comfort, range, and charging efficiency, with continuous corners and varying gradients highlighting stable and precise control, while unfamiliar parking scenarios showcase the smart parking system. Diverse driving expectations from participants around the world will help LEPAS understand global user needs and guide future co‑creation of products and experiences. Insights gathered will be used throughout the LEPAS Global Elegant Lifestyle Week under the theme “TOGETHER IN ELEGANCE,” where users and partners worldwide will explore and share elegance in varied lifestyles, reflecting LEPAS’s vision of confident, serene, and elegant mobility. When the convoy departs Shanghai on October 19, the real‑world experience of the Elegant Driving Ambassadors will best demonstrate the meaning of “Drive Your Elegance”—many cultures, one shared elegance.
