The L6 and LS6 from parent company SAIC Motor's IM Motors brand have been rebranded as the MG IM5 and IM6 for our market.

The new rebadged IM models are actually priced identically to each other – quite a surprise given SUVs usually command a premium.
They're offered in the same trim grades, with the same batteries, electric motors, equipment… You get the idea.
The only key difference here is range takes a bit of a hit in the IM6 thanks to the more upright and heavier SUV body. WLTP range is between 450km and 550km, while in the IM5 it's between 490km and 655km.

Honda won't follow BYD, MG in bringing a luxury brand to Australia
Honda won't bring in its premium Acura brand offered overseas to target a growing number of premium-pitched Chinese arrivals such as BYD's Denza and MG's IM Motors in Australia. Acura was established in 1986, three years before Toyota introduced Lexus and Nissan introduced Infiniti. It also preceded Mazda's Eunos, Efini, and aborted Amati brands. While Lexus remains on sale, Acura has never came to Australia. That's despite Infiniti being offered between 2012 and 2020 and Eunos being launched as a standalone brand here in 1992 before being folded into Mazda in 1996. Hyundai has since launched Genesis as a Lexus rival, but now Chinese car companies are getting in on the act with luxury brands of their own, including BYD's Denza due in Australia by the end of 2025. CarExpert can save you thousands on a new car. Click here to get a great deal. Above: Acura Integra MG has also just launched premium vehicles, officially under the 'IM Presented by MG Motor' banner but sold within MG showrooms. The growth of premium brands hasn't prompted new Honda Australia CEO Jay Joseph, who took the reins in April 2025, to add Acura to that list. "[Bringing Acura] here would require substantial commitment of resources in developing a brand – you've got to have brand awareness before people shop," Mr Joseph told CarExpert. "Candidly, I think our priority should be on expanding the potential of Honda and making sure that we've done everything we can with the Honda brand before we would consider taking on an additional brand here in Australia." Above: First and second generations of Acura/Honda NSX The Acura name was applied to some key Honda models in the past, including the second-generation NSX – which was also manufactured in the US – and models such as the Integra sports car and Legend. All of these vehicles have been sold under the Honda name in Australia and other places, such as the United Kingdom (UK), but with Acura badges in North America. Likewise, Acura's MDX was sold here during its first generation as a Honda. Subsequent North American-built Acuras have been produced only in left-hand drive however, ruling them out for our market."Acura has been in other markets over time – of course the States – and Acura is pretty solid in Canada as well," Mr Joseph added. "We have had Acura in China for a time, but that didn't work as we hoped it would – China is difficult because many of those products had to be imported from North America, and that's a challenge." Acura launched its first electric vehicle (EV), the ZDX, in 2024. It shares a platform with General Motors vehicles such as the Cadillac Lyriq sold here. Above (clockwise from left):ADX, RDX, MDX, ZDX The lineup otherwise consists of a trio of petrol-powered crossover SUVs, as well as the Honda Civic-based Integra liftback. Acura recently swung the axe on its BMW 3 Series-rivalling TLX sedan. Following Japanese and Korean automakers' introductions of luxury brands, it's now Chinese brands getting into this space. BYD has Denza and Yangwang in China, while Geely has Zeekr in addition to foreign premium brands it has acquired like Volvo and GWM is planning an even more upscale brand to sit above its Wey marque. Chinese brands surged in Australia over the first half of 2025, with BYD becoming the first to break into the top five best sellers in June, with Denza expected to add to its growth when it launches later this year. Lexus, meanwhile, was 21st overall between January and June, trailing key rivals BMW and Mercedes-Benz but ahead of Audi and Volvo. Honda is on track for its best full-year result since 2021 (17,562) if it can match its 8068 sales to the end of June, which equates to 16,136.

Hyundai won't sell cheap EVs to compete with Chinese brands
Hyundai won't be drawn into an electric vehicle (EV) price war in Australia. The Korean manufacturer currently offers six electric models in Australia – the Inster, Ioniq 9, Kona Electric, Ioniq 6, Ioniq 5, and Ioniq 5 N – the cheapest of which (Inster) starts at $39,000 before on-road costs. At the other end of the spectrum, the new Ioniq 9 is the most expensive Hyundai ever sold in Australia, with a retail price of $119,750 plus on-roads. Chinese automakers currently have the upper hand when it comes to EV pricing – BYD, GWM, Chery and MG all boast electric models cheaper than the Inster, and the same comparisons can be made across other vehicle segments. Hyundai ranked seventh for EV sales (2689 total) in Australia last year, sitting behind Tesla, BYD, MG, BMW, Volvo, and sister brand Kia. CarExpert can save you thousands on a new car. Click here to get a great deal. Above: Inster However, Hyundai won't slash prices or introduce cheaper EVs to win over new car buyers, according to local boss Don Romano. "I don't think any change in our pricing competitiveness is something that is a long-term issue," Mr Romano told media including CarExpert at the launch of the Ioniq 9. "When you look at Chinese EVs, the question I'd have is how long can they sustain that low price when we're all using the same materials and the same equipment?" Instead, Hyundai's next move will be to shift upmarket, as evidenced by the introduction of the Ioniq 9. While brand representatives stressed that there's no premium push on the horizon, Mr Romano says Hyundai needs to aim higher going forward. "I think if we don't start moving upmarket, that's the risk. I think there's a number of manufacturers that are not taking that type of bold step, and they're going to regret it in the future," said Mr Romano. Above: Ioniq 9 "You can't stay in one place, you have to evolve, and I think this is part of our evolution.

I'd prefer to look through the windshield and go forward." Cox Automotive Australia has forecast Chinese imports will account for a 20 per cent stake in the Aussie auto market this year, up three per cent from last year.
