PHYSIX OBSERVATION

IM is making the full-wire-control chassis and CATL batteries standard across the pure electric lineup, using features to raise the flagship threshold. But the range-extender version already starts at nearly 250,000 yuan; if the pure electric version is priced higher, it will face strong rivals like Li Auto and NIO head-on. Whether the full-wire-control chassis can become a differentiating selling point depends on real-world experience—users need not pay for concepts.
