The high-tech EV brand, known for competing with Tesla and other global giants, will be officially distributed by MG Motors Pakistan, signaling a transformative moment for Pakistan’s auto industry.
During the Shanghai Auto Show 2025, MG Motors Pakistan — a joint venture between China’s SAIC Motors and Pakistan’s JW SEZ Group — confirmed its new role as the exclusive distributor of IM Motors electric vehicles in Pakistan. This announcement underscores the country’s accelerating transition toward smart and sustainable mobility.
IM Motors: Tesla’s Chinese Competitor Eyes Pakistani Market
IM Motors was founded in 2020 through a collaboration between SAIC Motor, Zhangjiang Hi-Tech, and Alibaba Group. The brand specializes in luxury, intelligent electric vehicles and already rivals top-tier players like Tesla, Mercedes-Benz, and Polestar.
With MG Motors on board, Pakistani consumers could soon see models such as the IM L7, IM LS6, IM L6, and IM LS7 on local roads. While no official launch date has been shared, the appointment of an official distributor makes a rollout highly probable.
For local EV enthusiasts, the arrival of IM Motors electric vehicles in Pakistan offers access to next-gen vehicles with global credibility and cutting-edge design. The move also reflects rising consumer interest in environmentally conscious, tech-savvy automotive solutions.
As Pakistan embraces electric mobility, partnerships like this could reshape the domestic automotive landscape and bring serious alternatives to Tesla within reach of Pakistani drivers.
