Скачать или смотреть IM6 First Drive - Premium tech for mainstream money

MG’s new premium brand IM has officially hit New Zealand roads — and the IM6 is the first model out of the gate.
We take the Performance AWD version for an early first drive to see how this tech-heavy electric SUV stacks up against the Tesla Model Y, BYD Sealion 7 and other upper-mainstream EVs.
The IM6 is built on a joint-venture platform between SAIC and Chinese tech giant Alibaba, with autonomous-technology input from Pony.ai and Momenta. The result is a deeply digital EV featuring a unified vehicle-motion controller, 800-volt architecture (Platinum & Performance), rapid charging up to 396 kW, and a four-wheel-steering system that delivers a tiny 5.09-metre turning circle.
In this video we cover:
• What the IM brand is and why it exists
• First impressions of the IM6 Performance
