IM MotorsReviews
IM stands for Intelligence in Motion — a premium EV brand born from a joint venture between SAIC Motor, Alibaba and Zhangjiang Hi-Tech, brought to Singapore by Eurokars Group.
We've tested both models on local roads: the IM5 sedan in Cat A Luxury trim, with a 75kWh battery and 440km of WLTP range, and the IM6 Performance SUV — 767bhp, 3.48s to 100km/h and 800V charging that goes 10–80% in 18 minutes. Every review is honest, with no spin borrowed from a press kit.

IM5 vs IM6 — which should I choose?
The IM5 is a sleek, low-slung sedan (0.237 drag coefficient) with a 457L boot, and in Cat A Luxury form it's the more accessible way into the brand. The IM6 is the coupe-styled SUV — taller, more practical with a 646L boot, and in Performance trim it's a genuine missile: 572kW (767bhp), 802Nm and 0-100km/h in 3.48s. Choose the IM5 if you want a tech-rich, efficient daily driver at friendlier COE pricing; choose the IM6 if you need SUV space or want serious performance.
