IM plans to expand beyond China in 2025, and among its first export models will be the L6 electric sedan.
SAIC also owns historic British brand MG, through which it sells a number of mainstream EVs around the world, and now it plans to expand IM outside of China. The first export market will be Europe, where the first IMs are due to go on sale in 2025.
IM's current lineup includes the L7 sedan and LS7 and LS6 crossovers. In Geneva, IM will debut a new model, an L6 sedan. The L6 is expected to be a compact sedan offering top performance. IM said at least one version will deliver 0-62 mph acceleration in less than three seconds and a range of close to 500 miles, though that figure is likely measured on the WLTP test cycle used overseas. A much lower range would likely result using the stricter EPA cycle.Other IM models feature advanced EV technology including electrical systems running at 900 volts and DC fast-charging capability at rates approaching 400 kw.
IM is also the brand whose EV technology is expected to be shared with Audi which is seeking to accelerate development of EVs for the Chinese market. Audi and IM's SAIC parentlast July, though specific details on the partnership weren't disclosed at the time. The Geneva auto show starts Feb. 26. MG will use the event to debut its own MG 3 Hybrid subcompact hatchback.
