IM LS9 Hyper Launches Starting at RMB 349,800

[New Vehicle Launch] The IM LS9 Hyper flagship SUV has officially launched with a promotional price starting at RMB 349,800. Simultaneously, the LS9 52 Ultra Steer-by-Wire Edition (priced at RMB 319,800) is also now available.

Core Development: Full Steer-by-Wire Chassis Now Accessible in the RMB 300,000 Segment

All IM LS9 variants come standard with steer-by-wire technology, paired with 24° intelligent four-wheel steering and a 20ms response time, delivering a top-tier driving experience where "the car moves as you think." As SAIC Motor's pinnacle model commemorating its 100-million-unit production milestone, the LS9 Hyper features the "New Big Three" components: a fully digital steer-by-wire chassis, an 800V high-voltage platform compatible with both electric and hybrid powertrains across all domains, and a high-channel-count LiDAR system coupled with high-performance computing chips.

Strategic Foundation: Technology Democratization Fuels Product Offensive

IM Auto’s core strategy centers on eliminating premium markups on high-end configurations, making million-yuan-level technologies widely accessible. In Q3 of this year, the brand will also launch updated LS6 and L6 models along with a pure-electric LS8 variant, while accelerating its global expansion to aggressively pursue its annual sales target. In the first half of the year, IM delivered 40,087 vehicles, a 58% year-over-year increase, demonstrating strong growth momentum.
