The IM L6, the fourth model from the Chinese electric vehicle (EV) startup IM Motors, was officially unveiled at the 2024 Geneva Motor Show. The car has also made its first public appearance in China shortly after its debut in Geneva.

IM L6 is a pure-electric mid-size sedan that has already been registered with the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT). According to previous reports, the car is expected to be officially launched in May.

Stylish Design

IM L6 features a stylish design that follows the family’s style. The front face is closed off, and the headlights are sharp. The car has a fastback shape, and the slightly raised wheel arch lines make it look even more striking.

The dimensions of the car are 4931/1960/1474mm, with a wheelbase of 2950mm. The rear of the car is very sexy, with a small ducktail design that shows off its performance style. The taillights are also very eye-catching.

Interior

From the pictures of the car at the show and the MIIT declaration, it can be seen that the car will be available with four different wheel styles and will continue to offer features such as a half-spoke steering wheel. The top-of-the-line models will also be equipped with a lidar.

In terms of interior, the car almost perfectly copies IM LS6. The LCD instrument panel, central control screen and passenger screen form a bar-type design. The embedded screen below, the wireless charging panel and even the cup holder are all very similar to the IM LS6. It can be seen that the test car uses a light-colored interior design, and the door panels seem to be decorated with wood-like materials.

Powertrain

The car will be available in single-motor and dual-motor versions. The single-motor version has a maximum power of 216kW, while the dual-motor versions have maximum powers of 200kW and 379kW respectively. The car can accelerate from 0 to 100km/h in under 3 seconds.

According to the latest list of vehicles exempted from purchase tax, the car will be available with 90kWh and 100kWh batteries, with ranges of 700/720/750/770km. It is worth mentioning that the car will also be the first to be equipped with a solid-state battery. Its CLTC pure electric range will exceed 1000 kilometers.
