This impressive growth may be attributed to IM Motors' expanding lineup, particularly with the launch of the all-new IM LS6 model on September 26. This new vehicle comes in five trim options, with introductory pricing from 216,900 yuan to 279,900 yuan.
The all-new LS6 boasts an innovative "soft-touch sculpture" design, offering a choice of seven exterior colors and two interior themes. With dimensions now slightly extended by 6mm in length and 10mm in wheelbase, the new LS6 measures 4,910mm in length, 1,988mm in width, and 1,669mm in height, with a 2,960mm wheelbase. It also retains the signature ISC smart taillight, capable of displaying English text, numbers, and animations for a personalized touch.
On the technology front, the all-new LS6 is equipped with LiDAR and NVIDIA Orin X chips across all versions, offering HD map-free city navigation-on-autopilot (NOA) right out of the box, enabled nationwide. The new LS6 also supports more than 300 parking scenarios with its "IM AD" automatic parking assist and "AVP (automatic valet parking)" function.
For handling and agility, the all-new LS6 introduces the "Lingxi Digital Chassis," making it the only SUV in its class with an intelligent four-wheel steering system. This feature reduces the turning radius to 5.09 meters and supports a crab-walking mode, ensuring maneuverability despite the vehicle's size.
In terms of power, the all-new LS6 is available in rear-wheel-drive versions with outputs of 216kW, 248kW, 250kW, and 300kW, and an all-wheel-drive variant delivering 579kW. Battery capacities include 75kWh, 83kWh, and 100kWh, with CLTC ranges spanning from 605km to 760km. The new LS6 also supports quasi-900V fast charging, enabling a 579km charge in just 15 minutes, and the AWD model accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in only 3.48 seconds.
