Tired of the same small hatchbacks in Australia? Chery’s new Lepas line is coming: first two family-friendly electric SUVs (mid-size L6, compact L4) launch this year, and an unnamed electric/plug-in hybrid small hatch will take on Toyota Corolla, Mazda 3 by late next year. Chery Australia’s COO previewed the pre-production model, calling it sporty and attractive. With the small passenger segment hitting an all-time low 4.7% share, Chinese brands like MG 4, BYD Dolphin are stepping in—this Lepas offers vibrant colors, bold looks, elegant interiors to shake up the bland market. Would you swap your small car for it, or stick to trusted Japanese/Korean models? Let’s chat!
