IM L6

The IM L6 (Chinese: 智己L6; pinyin: Zhìjǐ L6) is a battery electric compact executive car produced by Chinese automobile manufacturer IM Motors, also known as Zhiji Motors, a joint venture between SAIC Motor, Pudong New Area and Alibaba. During its presentation at the Geneva International Motor Show in late February 2024, the Chinese company SAIC Motor not only presented the IM Motors portfolio to the European public for the first time, but also its new, fourth model. It was the mid-size L6, developing the stylistic concept of the LS6 SUV presented a year earlier. The car is designed with a slim, soaring silhouette with boomerang-shaped headlights, a gently sloping roofline and a characteristic bulge on the rear trunk lid with an additional window under the spoiler. The body was covered with a large, panoramic window that smoothly connected the rear part of the body with the roof. Despite the lack of a separate third body, the L6 became a 4-door sedan. The passenger compartment was maintained in the aesthetics typical of other IM models, with a yoke in place of the traditional steering wheel and an extensive screen system. One, placed at an angle, was located in the lower part of the dashboard at the junction with the center tunnel, while another, extended package of three screens stretched across the entire width of the cockpit. The first market where the L6 went on sale was China in May 2024, 2 months after its global debut. In addition, the manufacturer also planned to expand its market reach to selected Western European markets in 2025, being distributed within the MG Motor network.
