On April 24, the 2026 Beijing International Automotive Exhibition grandly opened, and IM Motors made a stunning appearance with its newly launched "era-crossing tech flagship SUV," the IM LS8. With new models密集 launched in the March-April auto market, the IM LS8 broke through strongly with the absolute strength of a "250,000-yuan-class flagship with a fully loaded large package" and extremely high market heat. The booth remained continuously packed, making it a must-see 8-series flagship SUV at this Beijing Auto Show!
250,000-yuan-class flagship with a fully loaded large package, million-yuan-class flagship experience in one step
The IM LS8 is a flagship from the start and fully equipped as standard, maxing out cutting-edge hardcore innovative technology, million-yuan-class flagship configurations, and top-tier quality rigorously selected by a major automaker, providing Chinese quality families with a smart choice that gets everything done in one step.
Top-tier technology fully loaded, not outdated in five years, still easy to drive in ten. The IM LS8 is equipped with the only full-line-control four-wheel steering in its class. At low speed, half a turn of the wheel enables a one-shot U-turn, while at high speed it ensures driving stability, delivering a stunning handling experience of "point where you want to go, man and car as one"; it also features aviation-grade triple redundancy safety and is the technical cornerstone for enabling L3-L4 advanced assisted driving. The IM LS8's assisted driving has L3-level perception capability and L4-level model capability. It is equipped with a 520-line ultra-wide-field lidar, with the "intelligent gaze" area equivalent to 1040-line perception capability, and an effective perception distance of up to 300 m, seeing farther, more clearly, and distinguishing more accurately; the industry-leading computing power NVIDIA Thor chip, paired with 64 GB high-performance LPDDR5X memory, meets the growing massive data demands of assisted driving. Under the deep empowerment of the full-blooded Momenta, IM AD assisted driving has already achieved "drivable nationwide, easy to use nationwide," and in the future can be upgraded to L4-oriented IM AD ZETA, empowering L2-level assisted driving with dimensional reduction and bringing even more stunning experience upgrades.
Era-crossing handling fully loaded, handling quality beyond a million. The IM LS8 comes standard across the range with the only bidirectional 24° smart four-wheel steering in its class, giving a flagship SUV over 5 meters long a turning radius of only 4.85 meters, more agile than the A0-class compact Polo. Whether in Beijing's hutongs, devilish parking lots, or narrow-road U-turns, it can handle them calmly in one go, easy to drive and easy to park. It also comes standard across the range with top-tier handling configurations such as front double wishbones, rear multi-link suspension, intelligent closed-loop air suspension, and German Continental brake-by-wire system.
New luxury flagship fully loaded, enjoy a million-yuan-class luxury experience. The IM LS8 has an ultra-large cabin-to-body ratio, with the strongest large five-seat space in its class rivaling executive-level MPVs; with a full load, the trunk can accommodate 15 20-inch suitcases. The large six-seat version offers spacious comfort in every seat, with no compromises in the third row. The cabin features carefully selected custom top-grain leather, soft suede headliner, and wood-grain trim, understated and elegant, with flagship texture within reach everywhere. Luxury configurations are even unique in its class, including China's first installation of the century-old luxury B&O audio system, 4D automotive-grade mechanical massage seats, and "Corbusier" electric sofa chairs, providing a top-tier new luxury experience for every journey.
Rigorously selected by a major automaker, ending all purchase concerns about new energy vehicles. The IM LS8 comes standard across the range with the Stellar Super Range Extender. It is a new range extender, and even more, a super range extender, solving the pain point of being "a slug when out of charge," allowing the full journey to enjoy the surging power of a 4.0T V8, the quiet smoothness of top-tier pure electric drive, and ultra-high energy efficiency. The IM LS8 can be driven as a gasoline car, running nearly 1000 kilometers on one tank of fuel, and has the lowest charge-depleted fuel consumption in its class at 5.9L/100km; it can also be driven as an EV, with 430 km pure electric range (CLTC), paired with 800V ultra-fast charging, meeting daily commuting needs with just one charge per week. In terms of safety, which users care about most, the IM LS8 is fully loaded with both active and passive safety through aviation-grade battery safety, a ten-longitudinal and eleven-transverse submarine cage body, full-scenario AEB, active rollover prevention 3.0, and tire blowout stability control 2.0, safeguarding family travel throughout.
The IM family newly assembled, limited benefits heavily increased
At this auto show, the all-new IM family matrix was officially assembled, fully covering the 200,000 to 350,000 yuan price range and precisely meeting users' diverse travel needs: the instant-sensation panoramic sunroof smart sedan IM L6 is a 200,000-yuan-class urban fashion item; the super large five-seat smart SUV IM LS6 is the best choice for 200,000-yuan-class quality families; the era-crossing tech flagship SUV IM LS8 is a 250,000-yuan-class fully loaded flagship; and the SAIC flagship IM LS9 achieves the best-driving full-size large six-seat SUV in the 350,000-yuan class. Each one is a smart choice. At the same time, IM's after-sales service brand "IM Care" has also ushered in a new upgrade, with the three major service standards of "professional, convenient, and considerate," turning the promise of "Hello, I'm here" into reassurance users can see and touch, allowing users to enjoy an always-online, worry-free four-season car experience.
