Powertrain & Engine Architecture
The IM L6 (facelift 2025) utilizes a dual-motor, all-wheel-drive (AWD) powertrain. Each axle is driven by a synchronous electric motor. The rear motor, designated TZ230XY1351, produces 515 horsepower and 500 Nm (368.78 lb.-ft.) of torque. The front motor, TZ180XS0952, delivers 272 horsepower and 300 Nm (221.27 lb.-ft.) of torque. Combined, the system generates a formidable 787 horsepower and 800 Nm (590.05 lb.-ft.) of torque. The powertrain operates on an 875V architecture, enabling faster charging times and improved efficiency. The 100 kWh battery pack, utilizing Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide (Li-NMC) chemistry, is positioned under the floor to optimize weight distribution and passenger space. The single-speed automatic transmission is inherent to electric vehicle design, providing seamless power delivery.
Driving Characteristics
The L6’s dual-motor setup delivers exceptional acceleration, achieving 0-60 mph in a claimed 2.6 seconds. The instant torque characteristic of electric motors provides immediate responsiveness. The AWD system ensures optimal traction in various conditions. While specific gear ratios aren’t publicly detailed, the single-speed transmission is geared for both rapid acceleration and efficient cruising. Compared to potential future variants with different battery capacities or motor configurations, this 787 hp version represents the performance pinnacle of the L6 range. The air suspension contributes to a comfortable ride, while also offering adjustable ride height for improved handling.
Equipment & Trim Levels
The IM L6 (facelift 2025) in this configuration is positioned as a premium trim level. Standard features are expected to include a large touchscreen infotainment system, advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) such as adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist, premium interior materials (leather or synthetic leather upholstery), and a panoramic sunroof. Optional extras may include upgraded audio systems, ventilated and massaging seats, and advanced parking assistance features. The interior design emphasizes a minimalist aesthetic with a focus on technology integration.
Chassis & Braking
The L6 features a double-wishbone front suspension and an independent multi-link rear suspension, both incorporating transverse stabilizers and air suspension. This setup is designed to provide a balance of comfort and handling. Ventilated disc brakes are used on all four wheels, providing ample stopping power. The vehicle is equipped with ABS (Anti-lock braking system) and a steering rack and pinion system with electric power steering. The inclusion of 4-wheel steering (4WS) enhances maneuverability, particularly at low speeds.
Market Reception & Comparison
Initial reviews of the IM L6 (facelift 2025) have focused on its impressive performance and advanced technology. Critics have praised its acceleration, handling, and luxurious interior. The 780 km (484.67 mi) CLTC range is competitive within the premium EV segment. Compared to other trims in the L6 lineup, this 787 hp version offers the highest level of performance and features, justifying its higher price point. Its energy consumption of 13.8 kWh/100 km (22.21 kWh/100 mi) is typical for a high-performance EV of this size.
Legacy
As a relatively new model, the long-term reliability of the IM L6 (facelift 2025) remains to be seen. However, the use of established battery technology (Li-NMC) and a robust powertrain architecture suggests a reasonable expectation of durability. The vehicle’s advanced technology and high performance are likely to make it a desirable used car in the future, particularly as the EV market matures. The L6 represents IM Motor’s ambition to establish itself as a leading player in the global electric vehicle landscape.
