ROC-based carmaker LUXGEN has lifted the covers off its latest creation, called the neora. The intelligent electric concept, as it has been tagged, showcases design cues that will be seen in the company’s upcoming models in the future.

“To transform the cold and rigid industrial product into one of the emotional kind” is what the neora is all about design-wise, says the Taiwanese company. Well, nothing like infusing warmth and character into an inanimate object, or attempting to, hey?

The front-wheel-drive vehicle is powered by a 180 kW electric induction motor, with juice coming from a 48 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, which can be charged to 80% within an hour. On a single charge, the battery provides enough zip for up to 400 km of travel distance.

Performance specs for the 1,600 kg include a 0-100 kph time of 6.5 seconds and a top speed of 250 kph.

Features on the neora include a head-up display, a PDLC electric glass sunroof, a LED display infotainment system for the rear passengers and a 9-inch active intelligent information system display on the centre console, which offers navigation and information exchange with other suitably-equipped vehicles.

Inside, there’s a big nod to environmental sustainability, with the futuristic cabin featuring the use of eco-friendly trim. Everything works around the chosen earth tone shade – with the grey-theme highlighted by blue accents – including the recycled wood found in the mix.

      Ah, was thinking of ROC, and it came out as Chinese! Yes, sensitivities prevail, as always, on the subject. Corrected.

  • Luxgen is from Taiwan, so would’nt it be more accurate to call it a Tainwanese carmaker?

      Yep, indeed. As I mentioned in another comment reply, thought ROC, but ended up typing Chinese! Have added ‘Taiwanese’ somewhere in the story in case people aren’t familiar with the Republic of China, as opposed to the PRC.

  • This is a 3D rendition, right? Coz I ain’t seeing any acclerator and brake paddles in this thing. Looks good, though, except for the busy front, which is somehow prefferred by designers of the like..

      i think this is a future car, where you pull the steering to go faster and push when you want to slow down, as you know electric motor is not like engine, if it stops it stops.

      well something like flying an airplane… HEhe, just joking.

    The front looks really nice but when you put a number plate there, it might ruin the look of front grills.

  • It was a suprise that 2 years old Luxgen able to produce own 2.2ltr Turbo Charged Engine for their SUV & MPV, & selling quite well in Taiwan too.

    Hyundai/Kia after 40 over years producing car still need to buy engine technology from Japan. (What a shame)
