As drivers increasingly seek vehicles that deliver both efficiency and performance, automotive brands continue to develop smarter solutions that reduce fuel consumption without compromising the driving experience. LEPAS, Chery Group's premium new energy brand, is preparing to enter the UAE market through Al Ghurair Mobility, bringing with it the advanced LEPAS Super Hybrid system. Available in models such as the LEPAS L8 and LEPAS L6, this technology aims to create a balanced approach that combines strong performance, lower emissions, and everyday practicality.
Focusing on intelligent engineering, the LEPAS Super Hybrid system has been developed to extract maximum performance from every drop of fuel. At the center of the system is a 1.5 litre TGDI engine that utilizes a deep Miller combustion cycle and an ultra high compression ratio. This combination allows the engine to achieve a remarkable thermal efficiency of 45.79 percent, helping reduce fuel consumption while lowering emissions.
Supporting the engine is a highly efficient 1DHT hybrid transmission that operates at 92 percent efficiency. Weighing just 120 kg, the transmission utilizes advanced silicon carbide power modules that minimize energy losses and improve power delivery. As a result, more energy reaches the wheels, creating a smoother and more efficient driving experience while maintaining strong performance in everyday conditions.
Delivering efficiency no longer means sacrificing driving enjoyment. The LEPAS Super Hybrid has been engineered to provide quick responses and refined performance that meet the expectations of modern drivers.
Featuring a rotational speed of 24,000 rpm and a power density of 2.22 kW per kilogram, the hybrid transmission supports rapid acceleration and responsive power delivery. Available with intelligent four wheel drive technology, the system continuously manages torque distribution with millisecond precision, helping improve stability and confidence on a variety of road surfaces.
Enhancing comfort even further, LEPAS has optimized acoustic insulation and combustion refinement to significantly reduce engine noise. The result is a quiet cabin environment that closely resembles the experience of driving a fully electric vehicle. Combined with intelligent thermal management and advanced heat pump technology, the system also maintains strong efficiency and driving range across different weather conditions.
By combining intelligent engineering, refined performance, and lower environmental impact, the LEPAS Super Hybrid presents a fresh vision for modern mobility. As the brand prepares for its arrival in the UAE, it aims to demonstrate that efficiency and driving enjoyment can work together without compromise.
Started my career in Automotive Journalism in 2015. Even though I'm a pharmacist, hanging around cars all the time has created a passion for the automotive industry since day 1.
