MG Motor launches IM premium subbrand with IM5 and IM6

MG Motor, a subsidiary of SAIC, is launching a new premium subbrand called IM (Intelligence in Motion) to move beyond its budget-friendly image. The brand is debuting with two upper mid-class electric models: the IM5 fastback limousine and the IM6 SUV.

Both vehicles are built on a shared platform and feature 800-volt technology, 100-kWh batteries, and power outputs of up to 553 kW (751 PS). The IM5 is priced starting at 54,000 euros, while the IM6 starts at 57,000 euros.

The models share a design language characterized by frameless doors, recessed handles, and a sleek roofline. While the IM5 features a coupe-like silhouette, the IM6 offers more cargo space, with a capacity ranging from 665 to 1,640 liters plus a 32-liter front trunk. Both models have a wheelbase of 2.95 meters and a towing capacity of up to 1,500 kilograms. The interior is highlighted by a 26.3-inch panoramic display.
