    One of the results of its focus on technological advancements is highlighted by the IM L6 mid-size crossover, which is capable of providing over 1,000 kilometers of all-electric range thanks to its solid-state battery. 

    The company also mentioned the Morris Garages (MG) 3 hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), which launched for the Philippine market a few months ago. Specifically, the said model’s hybrid powertrain can offer prospective buyers an estimated savings of one liter of fuel per 100 kilometers. 

    The brand’s level 3 self-driving technology, meanwhile, was already made available through the IM City Navigation on Autopilot service, which was kitted out with a detailed and complete map of China’s road network.
