Founded in 2020, IM Motors is a luxury smart electric vehicle brand jointly established by SAIC Motor, Zhangjiang Hi-Tech Park, and Alibaba Group, positioning itself as “a disruptor of mobility in the smart era.” As SAIC Motor’s “flagship project” for its new energy transition, IM Motors deeply integrates the top-tier manufacturing expertise of a national-level enterprise with the technological DNA of an internet giant. By 2026, IM Motors’ global expansion had accelerated significantly, with its presence spanning all five continents; in 2025, annual sales reached a record high of over 81,000 units, and the company achieved profitability on a full-cost basis for the first time, entering a new phase of high-quality development. The brand has now established a clear lineup of premium intelligent models, including the phenomenally popular new-generation IM LS6, the super-intelligent IM L6 sedan, the flagship IM L7 sedan, and the flagship six-seat SUV IM LS9—which embodies SAIC’s deep heritage—to comprehensively compete in the core mid-to-high-end new energy vehicle market.

IM Motors’ core competitiveness stems from its full-stack “technological breakthroughs” in intelligent control, powertrain systems, and autonomous driving. The brand pioneered the industry’s first “Lingshi Digital Chassis,” equipping a vehicle with a “super cerebellum.” Through coordinated management of the vehicle’s three axes and six degrees of freedom, it achieves a revolutionary “crab-walk” mode and hazard-avoidance stability on par with supercars; In the areas of energy efficiency and charging, IM Motors has not only mass-produced and installed the “First-Generation Light-Year Solid-State Battery”—using a near-900V platform to achieve a range exceeding 1,000 kilometers—but has also introduced the revolutionary “Stellar Super Range-Extender Technology” (equipped with a 66-degree battery pack, delivering an all-electric range of over 450 km), completely eliminating range anxiety. Combined with laser radar standard across the entire lineup, the NVIDIA Orin X chip, and the IM AD advanced intelligent driving system—which has fully entered the era of end-to-end large models—IM Motors has successfully integrated “ultimate driving control” with “cutting-edge AI technology” into a seamless closed-loop system, continuously setting a new benchmark for next-generation luxury smart electric vehicles.
