In August 2023, IM Motors, which has been 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 [[IM LS7|LS7]] model, debuting in the same year, distinguished by more decorations in the front bumper, a larger front air intake and reshaped headlights.<ref>{{cite web | url = https://autonews.gasgoo.com/m/70023066.html | title = IM Motor's LS6 SUV included in MIIT's catalogue | language = en | accessdate = 2023-09-23}}</ref>
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.<ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.licarco.com/im-motors-ls6-awd | title = IM Motors LS6 AWD | language = en | accessdate = 2023-09-23}}</ref>
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 center 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.<ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.ml-vehicle.com/news/chengdu-auto-show-2023-special-im-ls-70377065.html | title = Chengdu Auto Show 2023 Special: IM LS6 | language = en | accessdate = 2023-09-23}}</ref>
== Specifications ==
The LS6 is available in two drive configurations, both of which transmit power to both axles using two motors.
