  • The new IM Motors LS6 starts at 197,900 yuan, or $29,320 after incentives.

  • The top-tier model offers a 103 kWh battery and a range of 782 km.

IM Motors launched the next-generation LS6 on Wednesday. The electric SUV starts at 197,900 yuan, or $29,320. This places it directly against the Tesla Model Y.

The brand offers three battery options. The top model reaches 782 km on a single charge. All versions support fast charging on an 800-volt system.

Standard steering technology defines the chassis

Every version includes steer-by-wire technology. This system replaces physical rods with digital signals. It allows the car to turn with greater precision.

The system also features four-wheel steering. This helps the large vehicle navigate tight spaces. The top trim turns in just 4.49 meters.

Charging speed balances the heavy battery

The battery packs range from 76 to 103 kilowatt-hours. This large capacity supports long driving ranges. However, it requires a powerful charging setup.

Owners can charge from 10% to 80% in as little as 16.8 minutes. A 15-minute session adds 420 to 530 km of range. This reduces time spent waiting at stations.

Price strategy targets the family segment

CnEVPost notes the price matches the previous generation. This keeps the entry point stable for buyers. It undercuts several competitors in the same class.

Pre-order customers receive a 3,000-yuan discount. The brand secured over 8,000 orders quickly. This shows strong initial interest in the new model.
