This 5.28m SUV Turns Like a Compact Car?! IM LS9 Real-World Test

Shanghai has seen every “9-series flagship SUV” this year — but today I’m testing something different. This is the IM LS9, a full-size 6-seat flagship that’s betting on serious tech and a very aggressive price to challenge the L9, M9, and the rest of China’s top-tier family SUVs. 🔥 The headline feature? 24° rear-wheel steering with a claimed 4.95m turning radius — in a car that’s 5.28 meters long. So the real question is simple: does it actually feel small in the city? 🚗 Key Specs (Quick Facts): Length: 5279mm Wheelbase: 3160mm Powertrain: 800V EREV (Extended-Range EV) Pure electric range: 402km (CLTC) Combined range: 1500km+ Rear-wheel steering: 24 degrees Claimed turning radius: 4.95m 👀 What You’ll See in This Video ✅ Real Shanghai U-turn test ✅ Exterior walkaround & design breakdown ✅ 520-line LiDAR + NVIDIA Thor hardware ✅ 27.1” 5K cockpit + 4K rear screen ✅ B&O 25-speaker Dolby Atmos system ✅ Zero-gravity seats + industry-first 4D mechanical massage ✅ Third-row adult comfort check ✅ Lingxi Digital Chassis 3.0 driving impressions ✅ Stop-and-go ADAS smoothness in real traffic 🧠 Why LS9 Is Interesting IM used to be sleek and coupe-like — LS9 is unapologetically flagship. It’s built for families, long trips, and daily city driving, but with tech usually reserved for much more expensive SUVs. The combination of: EREV usability Comfort-first interior Advanced steering + chassis tech …might make this one of the most livable “9-series” SUVs in China right now. . 👉 Would you choose LS9 over L9 or M9?
