Bowker Motor Group is to open new Lepas dealerships in Blackburn and Preston on 1 September.
The Preston dealership will operate from its temporary location on Channel Way while plans continue for a permanent site.
In Blackburn, Bowker has established a dedicated showroom for the brand. The opening follows preparations undertaken since Bowker secured the LEPAS franchise for both locations.
John Nichol, head of business, said: “We’ve been working towards this date for some time and it’s great to be able to confirm when customers will be able to visit us.
“There’s been plenty of interest in the brand already, and we’re looking forward to introducing Lepas to motorists across the region.”
The first model to hit Bowker’s new LEPAS showrooms will be the Lepas L8 premium SUV.
The smaller L6 midsize SUV and city L4 SUV will follow the L8 and a fully electric L8 will follow in 2027
The opening follows Bowker’s recent expansion of its partnership with Chery International through the launch of a Chery dealership in Preston. Lepas becomes the latest Chery brand represented by the group.
John Nichol added: “Launching a new automotive brand doesn’t happen often. It’s exciting to be part of bringing Lepas to Lancashire and helping customers experience the vehicles for themselves.”
