Lepas will make its UK public debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed 2026, taking place between 9 to 12 July.
The manufacturer will showcase the L8 premium SUV before its official launch later in the month.
Ray Wang, managing director of LEPAS in the UK, said: “The L8 is just the beginning of the LEPAS story. We have two more models – the L6 C-SUV and L4 B-SUV arriving soon, with a choice of either a highly efficient plug-in hybrid or a fully-electric powertrain, followed by an all-electric L8 and then more to come.
“We also have dozens of showrooms opening nationwide in the next quarter, with around 100 dealers up and running by the end of 2027, so it’s safe to say that people will be hearing a lot more from LEPAS.”
The crowds will also have the chance to see the L8 in action as pro-racing driver Sasha Brunton, pilots it up the famous Goodwood Hillclimb, twice each day.
The L8 will arrive in the UK at Lepas showrooms – more than 50 of which will be opening in the next few months.
The L8 will be offered in two distinct and appropriately named trim lines. The first, ‘Essence’, offers everything the modern driver needs, with outstanding levels of technology, safety and comfort.
‘Elevate’ models add in-car luxury and refinement taken to the next level for a high-end experience.
Prices for the L8 PHEV Essence begin at £34,900 RRP on-the-road, while the L8 PHEV Elevate starts at £37,900 RRP on-the-road.
Both variants are powered by the state-of-the-art LEPAS Super Hybrid ecosystem, featuring a highly efficient 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine mated to a Dedicated Hybrid Transmission, electronic gear selector and a next generation 18.4kWh battery.
The battery can be DC fast charged from 30% to 80% in as little as 20 minutes. This powertrain can deliver a combined range of up to 745 miles, a pure electric range of up to 56 miles. A fully electric L8 will follow in 2027.
