This clean surface pushes the car volumes forward, creating a dynamic appearance, especially in the side view and in the 3/4 front view.
The front end is framed by two C-shaped elements made up of the headlights and the lower air intakes. At the center of the hood there is the prominent oval logo, from which two divergent ridgelines originate.

The side mirrors are the result of a specific study: they feature a light beam projector on the front side and a small camera on the rear side.
LEI is a compact coupé targeted at young drivers. The main goal of the designers was to express a sense of innovation, thanks to an original way of combining complex surfaces defined by clear cuts.

The front end was designed around the Chery logo, which is the visual starting point of the hood ridgelines, the upper edges of the headlights and the side mirrors contours.
The cuts that define the screenwipers housings give the hood an original shape. The dark window contours make the cabin appear splitted apart from the body, while the high tailgate increase the muscularity and aggressivity of the design.
