The entire lineup comes standard with a 520-line ultra-vision LiDAR, with a perception range of up to 300 meters, capable of accurately identifying complex road environments and stationary obstacles.

Core computing power is provided by the NVIDIA Thor chip, with computing power up to 2,000 TOPS, nearly 4 times the improvement over mainstream Orin-X solutions.
This level of hardware capability gives the LS9 the potential to achieve L3-level safety redundancy within L2-level assisted driving.

At the same time, the IM LS9 is also equipped with a full-domain fusion perception system, including high-definition cameras, millimeter-wave radar, ultrasonic sensors, and a total of 28 high-precision sensing units, enabling full-domain intelligent driving assistance across urban, highway, and parking scenarios.

This means that, at a practical level, the IM LS9 can achieve more natural automatic lane changes, more precise obstacle avoidance, and more intelligent cruising strategies, truly giving users an "anxiety-free" intelligent driving experience.

IV. Powertrain: Star Super Range-Extender System Delivers 1,508 km of Range

The IM LS9's powertrain comes from the all-new generation Star Super Range-Extender architecture, composed of a 1.5T dedicated range extender and a high-performance electric motor, with a combined system power of 390 kW and peak torque of 670 N·m, achieving a 0-100 km/h acceleration in the 4-second range.

In terms of battery packs, the new vehicle offers two capacity versions, 52 kWh and 66 kWh, both adopting an 800V silicon carbide high-voltage platform and supporting ultra-fast charging technology.
Official data shows:

Pure electric range up to 402 km (CLTC)

Comprehensive range reaches 1,508 km

Charging for 10 minutes adds 300 km of range

The system achieves optimal energy consumption control through energy management algorithms. During urban commuting, the vehicle is primarily driven by the electric motor, with the engine only maintaining battery charge balance;
while during high-speed cruising, the engine directly intervenes in driving to reduce electrical energy loss.

This system balances the smoothness of pure electric driving with the efficiency of hybrid operation, making the LS9 a flagship-level solution that combines both performance and range.

V. Lizard Digital Chassis 3.0: Letting a Full-Size SUV "Dance Lightly"

The IM LS9 debuts the industry-leading Lizard Digital Chassis 3.0 system, equipped with a 150 mm dual-chamber closed intelligent air suspension and the Lizard intelligent control hub.
