# IM LS6

The IM LS6 is a battery electric mid-size crossover SUV produced by IM Motors since 2023. The LS6 was officially launched in the Chinese market in October 2023. It is sold as the MG IM6 in some markets.

## Overview

In August 2023, IM Motors, which was on the market for less than 2 years, presented its third model as an element of the expansion of the local offer, presenting the LS6. The vehicle was created as a more avant-garde styled alternative to the slightly larger LS7 model, debuting in the same year, distinguished by more decorations in the front bumper, a larger front air intake and reshaped headlights.
The roof line gently slopes towards the rear edge of the body in the so-called Coupe SUVs, in turn, the rear is decorated with a characteristic wavy light strip enriched with a small window improving rear visibility. The proportions of the LS6 body were dictated by aerodynamic properties, which resulted in a record-low air drag coefficient of 0.23.
Similarly to the LS7, the LS6 has an unusually designed cockpit consisting of two screens: the first one runs across the entire width of the dashboard and functions as digital clocks, a multimedia system screen and an entertainment center for the passenger. The second one, vertical and located at an angle, serves, among others, air conditioning panel and control of additional vehicle functions. Instead of a steering wheel, the so-called shuttlecock without arches at the upper and lower edges.

### Powertrain

The LS6 is available in two drive configurations, both of which transmit power to both axles using two motors. The first one develops 501 hp (374 kW; 508 PS), while the other one has 776 hp (579 kW; 787 PS) with 800 N⋅m (590 lb⋅ft) of maximum torque and a sprint to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.5 seconds. The batteries supplied by CATL enable super-fast charging with a voltage of up to 800V and a range of up to 700 km (430 mi) on a single charge with a capacity of 100 kWh.

### 2024 facelift

On September 26, 2024 IM released an updated version of the LS6 with an updated powertrain and new features while retaining the previous exterior and interior design. It features the addition of the Lizard Digital Chassis system first introduced in the IM L6, which is a electronic stability control system which integrates the vehicle's rear-wheel steering, air suspension and continuous damping control. It allows the LS6 to achieve a moose test speed of 82.7 km/h (51.4 mph), and comes standard on all models. Also standard is the IM AD 3.0 ADAS system, which supports supervised urban autonomous driving and autonomous parking without the need for high-resolution maps, which utilizes a single LiDAR and Nvidia Orin chip. The front passenger seat can now recline 121-degrees into a 'zero gravity' mode, which can alternatively be used as a chaise lounge for the rear seats. The infotainment system has been upgraded to the Snapdragon 8295P SoC and now supports Carlink and HiCar.

#### Powertrain

A new base model version uses a 400V electrical architecture and a CALB-supplied LFP battery pack powering a 216 kW (290 hp; 294 PS) rear motor for 605 kilometres (376 mi) of CLTC range. The middle trims use a smaller 83 kWh battery pack but still achieve 660 kilometres (410 mi) of range. The top trims with the 100 kWh battery and 900V all-wheel drive powertrain carry over unchanged, while the rear-wheel drive version now uses a 300 kW (402 hp; 408 PS) motor.
