IM L6 electric sedan launches with semi-solid battery option and over 1,000 km driving range
Shanghai-based IM Motors, the electric vehicle subsidiary of SAIC Motor Corp, has officially launched its premium brand, the IM L6 electric sedan in Europe.
Designed to compete directly with Tesla’s Model 3 and Xiaomi’s SU7, the IM L6 is among the first EVs to offer a semi-solid battery option and it is priced lower than SU7 and Model 3.
In case you were wondering, IM stands for Intelligent Mobility and this is the new intelligent BEV brand from MG’s parent company and will explore new possibilities to deliver an exciting driving experience.
The IM L6 saloon has just been unveiled for the first time and it is a premium and pure electric saloon offering leading-edge levels of technology.
The IM L6 is available in five distinct variants, with prices starting at RMB199,900 (approximately €27,400) after a limited-time discount. This makes the base model even more affordable than its Xiaomi and Tesla competitors.
The higher-end models, equipped with larger batteries and faster charging capabilities, are priced at RMB239,900 (€29,880), RMB255,900 (€31,860), RMB305,900 (€38,080), and RMB325,900 (€40,600) respectively.
The entry-level model is equipped with a 75 kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery, providing a CLTC range of 650km.
The mid-range models feature 83 kWh and 100 kWh batteries, with ranges extending up to 850km according to the CLTC standard.
The top-tier model is based on a cutting-edge “quasi-900V” platform, promising impressive charging times. This first-generation semi-solid-state battery pack, developed by IM Motors and SAIC-backed QingTao startup, offers 133 kWh capacity and is CLTC-rated at over 1,000km of range. Additionally, it can add 400km of range in just 12 minutes of charging.
The IM L6 offers decent performance too. The single-motor rear-wheel drive variants deliver up to 290 horsepower of power, while the dual-motor all-wheel drive model boasts an impressive 510 horsepower. That one can accelerate from 0 to 100km/h in a mere 2.7 seconds.
The IM L6 is a large sedan with a length of 4.93 m, it is 1.96 m wide and 1.47 m tall.
IM Motors has ambitious plans for the IM L6. Deliveries of the regular variants are scheduled to commence in Europe very soon.

IM Motors has already received over 30,000 orders for the L6 in China and it growing.
