The 2027 IM L6 is the latest version of IM Motors’ core electric sedan, positioned to compete in China’s highly competitive premium pure-electric sedan market. The new L6 offers rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive configurations, long driving ranges, high-speed charging and advanced intelligent driving technology.
IM Motors, the electric vehicle brand of SAIC Motor, has priced the three regular variants from 199,900 yuan ($29,480) to 259,900 yuan during the limited-time promotional period. The lineup includes the Max, Pro Max and Ultra, priced at 199,900 yuan, 217,900 yuan and 259,900 yuan, respectively.
2027 IM L6 Pricing and Variants
The entry-level Max is priced at 199,900 yuan, making it 20,000 yuan, or 9.1%, cheaper than its pre-sales promotional price announced on August 18.
During pre-sales, the three regular variants were offered at promotional prices ranging from 219,900 yuan to 269,900 yuan.
The Max and Pro Max use rear-wheel-drive configurations, while the range-topping Ultra features dual-motor all-wheel drive.
IM Motors is also continuing sales of the Prof. Jimmy Choo bespoke limited edition. The first 1,000 sales slots sold out, with the two versions priced at 219,900 yuan and 237,900 yuan.
Purchase incentives include a 10,000-yuan cash discount, upgrades valued at 41,600 yuan and a lifetime battery warranty for the first non-commercial owner.
Dimensions and Exterior
The 2027 IM L6 measures 4,924 mm in length and has a 2,950 mm wheelbase.
The sedan is available with either a single-motor rear-wheel-drive system or a dual-motor all-wheel-drive configuration, allowing the lineup to cover different performance and range requirements.
Max and Pro Max Powertrains
The Max uses a rear-wheel-drive electric motor producing 245 kW and is paired with a 76 kWh battery pack.
It has a claimed CLTC range of 725 km.
The Pro Max upgrades to a 300 kW electric motor and a larger 93 kWh battery. Its claimed CLTC range reaches 850 km, giving it the longest driving range in the regular L6 lineup.
Ultra Performance and Range
The range-topping Ultra uses a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system producing a combined 500 kW and 800 Nm of peak torque.
IM Motors says the Ultra can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.74 seconds, positioning it as the performance-focused version of the L6 lineup.
The Ultra is equipped with a 103 kWh battery pack and offers a claimed 840 km CLTC range.
800-Volt Charging Architecture
The entire L6 lineup uses an 800-volt NEO electric architecture.
The system supports a peak charging power of 396 kW. IM Motors says the vehicle can add up to 580 km of driving range in 15 minutes under its stated charging conditions.
The high-voltage architecture is intended to reduce charging time and make long-distance electric driving more practical.
By-Wire Chassis and Four-Wheel Steering
The new L6 comes standard with a fully by-wire chassis.
Its braking system uses Continental’s MK C2 brake-by-wire technology, while the vehicle also features by-wire four-wheel steering.
The rear wheels can turn by as much as 18 degrees in either direction. This gives the L6 a minimum turning radius of just 4.39 meters, potentially improving maneuverability in tight urban environments.
Intelligent Driving System
The L6’s driver-assistance system was jointly developed by IM Motors and Momenta.
The system uses Momenta’s world model technology and supports NOA (Navigation on Autopilot) without relying on high-definition maps.
This map-independent approach is designed to allow the vehicle’s driver-assistance system to operate across a wider range of road environments.
Interior and Technology
The cabin features a large 26.3-inch central display alongside a 15.5-inch front-passenger entertainment screen.
Standard equipment also includes a Bang & Olufsen audio system and a 5.7-liter heating and cooling refrigerator.
The combination of multiple displays, premium audio and integrated comfort equipment gives the L6 a technology-focused interior aimed at buyers in the premium electric sedan segment.
Prof. Jimmy Choo Bespoke Edition
The Prof. Jimmy Choo co-branded edition is primarily differentiated through exclusive design elements rather than major mechanical changes.
The limited edition features exclusive exterior colors, a blue interior and embroidered branding.
The first 1,000 sales slots sold out, and the second sales round includes two versions priced at 219,900 yuan and 237,900 yuan.
Competitive Position
The new IM L6 targets China’s pure-electric sedan market in the 200,000-yuan to 300,000-yuan price range.
Its key competitors include the Tesla Model 3, Xiaomi SU7 and Xpeng P7.
By lowering the entry price while maintaining long-range and high-performance variants, IM Motors is seeking to strengthen the L6’s value proposition. The Jimmy Choo edition provides an additional design-focused option for buyers looking for greater differentiation.
