On August 18, the all-new IM L6 debuted and opened for pre-sale with权益 prices from 219,900-269,900 yuan. The car features SA8295P chips, Nvidia Thor ADAS chips, standard drive-by-wire chassis and rear-wheel steering, plus a Jimmy Choo limited edition.
Exterior and Interior: Family Design Fully Renewed
On August 18, 2026, SAIC's IM Motors officially unveiled the all-new IM L6, a mid-size pure electric sedan. The standard edition offers 3 trim levels with pre-sale权益 prices from 219,900-269,900 yuan; the x Prof. Jimmy Choo bespoke limited edition offers 2 trims at 234,900-249,900 yuan.
The all-new IM L6 continues the current model's design language with a simplified front face, willow-leaf LED headlights, and a closed grille. The side profile features a unique pinched waist design with frameless doors and pop-out hidden handles.
Dimensions are 4,924/1,960/1,474mm with a 2,950mm wheelbase. The large hatchback tailgate provides excellent cargo practicality.
ADAS and Cockpit: Dual Flagship Chips
Intelligence is the core upgrade direction. The cockpit features the new IMOS AI system with the Qualcomm SA8295P flagship chip. The cabin screen integrates real-time exterior mirror feeds with blind spot assistance and night rain modes.
The IM AD system is powered by Momenta with a physical AI world model, delivering 3x improvement in avoidance performance. Hardware includes a fully digital LiDAR paired with the Nvidia Thor ADAS chip delivering 700 TOPS of AI compute. Beyond mainstream L2 features, all trims support highway and urban navigation assist, plus remote parking and one-touch AI valet parking.
The IM Ultra Agent super AI assistant integrates Alibaba's Tongyi Qianwen large model, enabling complex commands like multi-stop pickup scheduling with automatic rerouting.
Powertrain and Chassis: NEO Architecture + Full Drive-by-Wire
The all-new IM L6 is built on SAIC's next-gen NEO powertrain architecture, offering single and dual-motor versions:
- Dual-motor: peak power 500kW, torque 800N·m, 0-100km/h in 2.74 seconds
- New Energy Master Management System 3.0, energy consumption as low as 11.6kWh/100km
- 93kWh CATL battery, maximum range 850km
- 800V high-voltage platform supporting 396kW ultra-fast charging
The chassis is another highlight. Standard full drive-by-wire chassis with front double wishbone and rear multi-link suspension, Continental MKC2 brake-by-wire system. The system coordinates three-direction six-degree-of-freedom body attitude control with integrated blowout stability control.
Most notably, standard rear-wheel steering supports bidirectional 18-degree turning, achieving a turning radius of only 4.39 meters—more agile than a VW Polo (5.2m). This feature was previously exclusive to concept cars and ultra-luxury vehicles.
Jimmy Choo Bespoke Limited Edition: Fashion Meets Technology
The biggest highlight is the collaboration with Prof. Jimmy Choo, OBE, former personal shoemaker to Princess Diana.
The limited edition features exclusive "Jimi Silver" paint personally selected by Choo from dozens of color plates, presenting a warm, layered liquid metal finish. The interior uses bespoke blue silk pearl leather and mother-of-pearl door panels. Crystal elements adorn the logo, camera covers, and control buttons.
From a market perspective, the Jimmy Choo collaboration represents IM's important extension into high fashion, aiming to attract design-conscious consumers. For overseas buyers interested in premium Chinese smart EVs, the IM L6's drive-by-wire chassis, rear-wheel steering, and 8295P+Thor dual flagship chip combination offer significant technical leadership at this price point.
