IM Motors Sets September 10 for LS6 Facelift Pre-Orders, Debuts Steer-by-Wire

IM Motors, the premium EV brand backed by SAIC, has announced that pre-sales for the refreshed LS6 SUV will kick off on September 10. The company positions the new model as bringing ‘aviation-grade safety’ to the segment around 200,000 yuan (approximately $29,490).

The updated LS6 will feature a steer-by-wire chassis, a significant technological upgrade that eliminates the traditional mechanical steering column, enhancing both safety and driving dynamics. This move aligns with IM Motors’ effort to differentiate its lineup amid intensifying competition in China’s SUV market.

While detailed specifications remain under wraps, the LS6’s refresh aims to bolster IM Motors’ presence in the mid-size electric SUV segment. The pre-sale event will likely reveal more pricing and configuration information. The company’s focus on advanced chassis technology underscores a broader industry trend toward electrified and software-defined vehicles.
