Opening soon: Chery Essendon & Lepas Essendon

September 16, 2026 in

We are excited to announce that Jowett Motor Group is expanding!

We have secured a brand-new, purpose-built site at the Essendon Fields automotive precinct – which will be home to Chery Essendon and Lepas Essendon.

This will be our third Chery franchise and our first Lepas dealership. Lepas is new to Australia – a youth-focused premium brand under the Chery umbrella and we’re proud to be among its earliest retail partners in the country

Essendon Fields is no ordinary location either. It is recognised as the largest single-site collection of car dealerships in the Southern Hemisphere, with over 21,000 vehicles sold there for the fourth consecutive year in 2025.

This significant investment cements JMGs footprint in Victoria’s most important automotive hub.

Between now and then, there’ll be plenty to share with you… including some exciting people news and roles we’ll be looking to fill as we build the team.

Construction begins soon with completion expected at the end of 2027. Watch this space.
