IM 5 EV

The IM 5 Sport is a performance-first EV that trades creature comforts for outright driving excitement and striking design. With a claimed 406 bhp and a 0-100 km/h time of 4.6 s, acceleration is instant and the car feels every bit as powerful as the spec sheet suggests.

Real-world range is strong: at 80% state-of-charge I consistently see about 520 km, which translates to roughly 15 kWh/100 km in normal mixed driving — efficient for a performance-oriented package.

Interior design is minimal and modern, leaning heavily into a Tesla-like clean aesthetic; materials and fit are solid, so the cabin feels premium despite the pared-down layout.

Exterior styling is a standout — it consistently draws attention and photos, which has real value at this price point.

The sound and NVH package is excellent: active noise cancellation, double-glazed acoustic glass and a 20-speaker surround system make the cabin quiet and musical.

Drive comfort rivals luxury rivals — close to Lexus but better, test drive to find out.

The trade-off is obvious: feature content and app functionality lag competitors like the Zeekr 7x, but this variant wins where performance and presence matter most.
