World debut of the IM L6 happens at the 2024 Geneva Show

Yesterday, SAIC (Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation) Motor PH revealed the MG One at Glorietta Mall in Makati. But over in China, MG's parent company is looking to get heads turning at this year's Geneva Motor Show.

SAIC will debut the L6 sedan from its IM or Intelligent Mobility brand. Essentially, IM Motors is MG's premium EV sister brand that's set to challenge the likes of Tesla, Audi, and Porsche.

According to reports, the L6 will have two variants – one with a solid-state battery and a 600-kilometer range, while the other uses a lithium-ion battery that can take it as far as 800 kilometers.

IM says it goes from 0-100 km/h in under three seconds and offers "leading-edge levels of technology." The all-new L6 is the second model in the IM lineup after the full-size L7 EV went on sale two years ago.

IM’s appearance in Switzerland is simply a precursor of things to come when the brand officially enters the European market in 2025 to challenge competitors in the ‘premium sector with a clear focus on executive saloons and larger SUVs and the use of advanced technology in driving assistance and controls, intelligent and connected services for drivers as well as leading-edge EV powertrains.
