Electric cars are no longer a novelty in the UAE. They are a smart choice. And the IM LS6 is one of the smartest choices in its class.
We sell and support the IM LS6 from our Dubai base. We know this car inside and out. This review covers everything you need to know before you decide.
Meet the IM LS6
The IM LS6 is a mid-size premium electric SUV. It comes in two versions: 100 kWh RWD and 100 kWh AWD. Both share the same platform, the same body, and the same high level of equipment.
The AWD version goes faster and grips harder. The RWD version offers longer range and a slightly lighter feel. Both are strong choices.
Dimensions and Practicality
- Length x Width x Height: 4,904 x 1,988 x 1,669 mm
- Wheelbase: 2,950 mm
- Seats: 5
- Front trunk: 32 litres
- Rear boot: 665 to 1,640 litres (with rear seats folded)
- Drag coefficient: 0.24
The 1,640-litre boot capacity is a practical number. Fold the rear seats and you have genuine cargo space. The 32-litre frunk handles cables and small items up front.
The 0.24 drag coefficient is one of the best in this segment. Less drag means more range and better efficiency.
Performance
Here is where the two variants differ:
| Spec | RWD | AWD |
|---|---|---|
| Motor | 300 kW (rear) | 200 kW front / 372 kW rear |
| Max Power / Torque | 300 kW / 500 Nm | 572 kW / 802 Nm |
| 0–100 kph | 5.4 s | 3.48 s |
| Top Speed | 220 kph | 240 kph |
| NEDC Range | 670 km | 600 km |
| WLTP Range | 555 km | 505 km |
The AWD version does 0–100 in 3.48 seconds. That is supercar territory. Yet it does it smoothly. No drama. No noise.
The RWD version covers up to 670 km on a single charge. That range removes any anxiety on UAE roads. Both versions use a 100-kWh battery with 96.5 kWh available capacity.
Multiple drive modes let you choose between efficiency and performance. Use Eco on the highway. Use Sport when you want to feel the power.
The V2L function (Vehicle to Load) outputs up to 6.6 kW. Plug in appliances, charge devices, or power a campsite. It is a genuinely useful feature for active UAE lifestyles.
Chassis and Handling
The IM LS6 uses an intelligent chassis built for both comfort and control.
Suspension:
- Double wishbone front / multi-link rear
- Active Damping Control (both variants)
- Advanced air suspension (both variants)
Steering:
- Intelligent four-wheel steering system with Crab Mode
- Speed-sensitive electric power steering
Four-wheel steering makes the LS6 nimble in tight spaces. The Crab Mode lets all four wheels turn at the same angle. Parking in a busy Dubai mall becomes much easier.
Brakes:
- Continental front 4-piston fixed calipers
- Ventilated discs on all four wheels
- Brake-by-wire regenerative system (CRBS)
- Auto hold and electronic park brake
The CRBS system blends regenerative and friction braking. It recovers energy while stopping the car. Every brake press puts charge back into the battery.
Wheels:
- Standard: 20-inch aerodynamic or lightweight wheels
- Optional: 21-inch sporty wheels with staggered fitment
The car also has a towing capability of 1.5 tonnes with a dedicated Towing Mode. That opens up options for boat owners and caravan users across the UAE.
Safety
The IM LS6 carries a well-rounded safety package.
Passive safety:
- Front dual airbags and side airbags
- Side curtain airbags
- Far-side airbag
- Front and rear seatbelt pretensioners
- Rear 3-point seatbelts with pretensioners on side seats
Active safety:

- ABS, EBD, TCS, VDC
- Emergency Brake Assist (EBA)
- Hill Hold Control (HHC)
- Corner Brake Control (CBC)
- Hazard Control (HAZ)
- Brake Disc Washing (BDW)
- E-Call
The Driver Monitoring System watches for fatigue or distraction. It gives a gentle warning before anything goes wrong. That is the kind of safety tech that matters on long UAE highway runs.
Exterior Design
The IM LS6 looks sharp and modern. Its exterior design is clean without being bland.
Key features:

The frameless doors give the car a sleek, pillarless appearance. They open and close cleanly. Combined with flush door handles, the side profile looks smooth and considered.
Available exterior colors: Ares Black, Athena White, Rembrandt Grey, Raphael Beige, Nevis Blue, Ferdinand Pink, Matisse Red, Dugarzhapov Purple.
Eight color choices. That is more variety than most electric SUVs offer.
