The IM LS6 (Chinese: 智己LS6; pinyin: Zhìjǐ LS6) is a battery electric and extended-range compact SUV produced by IM Motors since 2023. The LS6 was officially launched in the Chinese market in October 2023. It is sold as the MG IM6 in some markets.

In August 2023, IM Motors, which was on the market for less than 2 years, presented its third model as an element of the expansion of the local offer, presenting the LS6.

The vehicle was created as a more avant-garde styled alternative to the slightly larger LS7 model, debuting in the same year, distinguished by more decorations in the front bumper, a larger front air intake and reshaped headlights.

The roof line gently slopes towards the rear edge of the body in the so-called Coupe SUVs, in turn, the rear is decorated with a characteristic wavy light strip enriched with a small window improving rear visibility. The proportions of the LS6 body were dictated by aerodynamic properties, which resulted in a record-low air drag coefficient of 0.23.

Similarly to the LS7, the LS6 has an unusually designed cockpit consisting of two screens: the first one runs across the entire width of the dashboard and functions as digital clocks, a multimedia system screen and an entertainment centre for the passenger. The second one, vertical and located at an angle, serves, among others, air conditioning panel and control of additional vehicle functions. Instead of a steering wheel, the so-called shuttlecock without arches at the upper and lower edges.

On 26 September 2024, IM released an updated version of the LS6 with an updated powertrain and new features while retaining the previous exterior and interior design. It features the addition of the Lizard Digital Chassis system first introduced in the IM L6, which is an electronic stability control system which integrates the vehicle’s rear-wheel steering, air suspension and continuous damping control. It allows the LS6 to achieve a moose test speed of 82.7 km/h (51.4 mph), and comes standard on all models. Also standard is the IM AD 3.0 ADAS system, which supports supervised urban autonomous driving and autonomous parking without the need for high-resolution maps, which utilizes a single LiDAR and Nvidia Orin chip. The front passenger seat can now recline 121-degrees into a ‘zero gravity’ mode, which can alternatively be used as a chaise longue for the rear seats. The infotainment system has been upgraded to the Snapdragon 8295P SoC and now supports Carlink and HiCar. The LS6 receives an optional ceiling-mounted 17.3-inch 3K-resolution rear entertainment display.

The LS6 received a major facelift in 2025, adapting a new design language on the exterior and interior, which has spread to other models such as the LS9. The 2025 model year IM LS6 is now also available as EREV, debuting IM’s “Hengxing” EREV powertrain. This powertrain includes a 66 kWh battery capable of a 450 km pure electric range paired with a 1.5-liter 15FNE petrol-powered turbocharged engine developing 153hp (114 kW). A single electric motor in the rear axle develops 308 hp (230 kW). The maximum mixed range of the model reaches 1,500 km.
