IM LS6: 800 HP MAGIC CARPET RIDE

EV Channels Review

The IM LS6, particularly the refreshed version, offers a compelling blend of comfort and power, though it's not without its quirks. The dual-motor, 700+ horsepower powertrain delivers blistering acceleration (0-100 km/h in 3.48 seconds), which the reviewer deems unnecessary for a mid-size SUV but indicative of the EV market's direction. The standout feature is its exceptional comfort, attributed to highly supportive and soft seats, and an advanced air suspension system with CDC and adjustable height, making it feel like a "living room on wheels." However, the exterior styling is described as "very, very round" and "melted," with only the rear receiving praise for its Aston Martin-inspired design. Inside, while materials are premium, the ergonomics are criticized, primarily due to the long, narrow screen layout that limits information display and necessitates a yoke steering wheel. The reviewer also notes issues with screen glare and the placement of controls. Despite these ergonomic drawbacks, the LS6 excels in passenger comfort, especially in the rear, and offers impressive cargo space. The driving dynamics are not sporty, with vague steering and noticeable body lean, but the focus is clearly on a plush, composed ride.
