Car manufacturer IM Motors introduces LS6 SUV model in the Nepalese market
New Electric SUV Makes a Splash in Nepal's Luxury Market
The IM6 (also known as IM LS6), an electric sport utility vehicle (SUV) produced by IM Motors, has made its debut in Nepal. The launch event took place in Kathmandu on July 31, 2025, and the vehicle is now available for purchase at a price of approximately 7,499,000 Nepalese Rupees (about $53,470) [1][3].
According to IM Motors, the parent company of IM Motors, the IM6 has already secured a significant share of Nepal's luxury electric vehicle (EV) market through pre-orders [1]. This strong early consumer interest and market penetration position the IM6 as a premium, Tesla Model Y competitor for luxury electric SUVs in the region [1][2].
Regarding the pricing, multiple sources, including news reports and local social media, confirm the price around 74.99 lakh NPR (i.e., 7.499 million NPR) for the MG IM6 in Nepal [3][4][5]. This price aligns well with the official launch figure from IM Motors.
IM Motors, a division of SAIC Motor, is responsible for the launch of the IM LS6 in Nepal. The IM6 is locally known as IM6 in Nepal.
In summary, the IM6 appears to be a strong competitor in Nepal's luxury EV market both in price and market acceptance. The vehicle's launch in Nepal marks an exciting development in the country's growing electric vehicle market.
