Recently, a set of real-vehicle photos of the IM LS9 was exposed online. The IM LS9 is positioned as a new energy large SUV and will be equipped with the next-generation Lizard Digital Chassis. The official description calls it "the culmination of SAIC Group's cutting-edge technology."
In terms of exterior, the front face of the IM LS9 adopts a closed design, paired with the popular LED through-light strip. The headlight group adopts an L-shaped layout, and a through-type air intake is designed at the bottom. The lidar on the roof indicates that the vehicle has advanced intelligent driving assistance capabilities.
The side profile of the new car is boxy, with stretched and smooth lines along the waistline and roofline, paired with hidden door handles and large-dish-style aluminum alloy wheels. The rear design echoes the front face, and the chrome trim surrounding the bottom of the windows adds a sense of refinement. The new car's length, width, and height are 5279/2000/1806 mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 3160 mm.
In terms of power, the new car will be equipped with IM's self-developed "Stellar" super range-extender system. The system consists of a 1.5T engine plus an electric motor, paired with a 66 kWh battery pack. Pure electric range can reach 450 kilometers, and comprehensive range exceeds 1500 kilometers.
Dada Review: The IM LS9 is positioned as a large six-seat SUV, with a grand and steady exterior design, straight side lines, and large-dish-style wheels that bring an ultimate sense of premium quality. The "Stellar" super range-extender system is independently developed by SAIC Group and is a high-performance range-extender system. The battery pack comes from CATL, with a pure electric range of 450 kilometers. The IM LS9 is built on an 800V high-voltage platform, can gain 310 kilometers of range with 15 minutes of charging, and can achieve a peak charging power of 170 kW in an extremely cold environment of -20°C. The competitors of the IM LS9 include models such as the Li L9, AITO M9, and Denza N9. The IM LS9 has a longer pure electric range, and its seats adopt the industry's first SPA-level mechanical massage, which can provide users with a more comfortable driving and riding experience. At present, the price of the IM LS9 has not yet been announced, and the starting price is expected to be around 380,000 yuan, giving it a certain cost-effectiveness advantage and a late-mover advantage in technology. More interior and configuration information is still awaiting official release from IM.
