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 with deliveries starting in August.

In August 2023, IM Motors, which has been 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.^[1]

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.^[2]

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.^[3]

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 of power, while the other one has 776 HP with 800 Nm of maximum torque and a sprint to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.5 seconds.^[4] The batteries supplied by the Chinese company CATL enable super-fast charging with a voltage of up to 800V^[5] and a range of up to 700 km (430 mi) on a single charge with a capacity of 100 kWh.
