IM Motors today began pre-sales of the LS6 at the Chengdu auto show, with a price range of RMB 229,900 ($32,410) to RMB 299,900.
IM Motors, the electric vehicle (EV) arm of SAIC Motor Corp, has unveiled the updated LS6 electric SUV (sport utility vehicle), less than a year after its initial launch.
IM Motors began pre-sales of the updated LS6 today at the Chengdu auto show, with a price range of RMB 229,900 ($32,410) to RMB 299,900.
The LS6 was originally launched on October 12, 2023, when it was offered in four variants with starting prices of RMB 229,900, RMB 249,900, RMB 273,900 and RMB 291,900 respectively.
The price range of the updated LS6 means that its starting price remains unchanged, but the price of the highest-priced variant has been revised upwards by RMB 8,000.
In January this year, IM Motors started offering a RMB 12,000 cash discount on the LS6.
The model measures 4,910 mm in length, 1,988 mm in width and 1,669 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 4,910 mm.
The updated version of the LS6 comes on IM Motors' Lingxi digital chassis with four-wheel steering. These features give the LS6 a Mini Cooper S-like ultra-small turning radius, even though it is a mid-to-large-size SUV, the company said.
The SUV's smart driving system is powered by components including Nvidia's Orin X chip as well as LiDAR.
IM Motors was founded on November 26, 2020, by SAIC, Zhangjiang Hi-Tech and Alibaba, with SAIC holding a majority stake.
In addition to the LS6, IM Motors is selling the L7 and L6 sedans and the LS7 SUV.
IM Motors has had a weak sales performance over the past 2 years and often does not release monthly figures.
In July, IM Motors delivered 6,017 vehicles, according to figures it released earlier this month. The company didn't release deliveries for other months this year.
