Taiwanese auto industry player Yulon Motor has taken the wraps off its new 3-row Luxgen MPV, which will be built by a newly formed subsidiary company from April 2009 onwards. The MPV will be sold under Yulon’s own LEXGEN marque, which probably means it will be oddly called the LEXGEN Luxgen?!
The name Luxgen is derived from combining the words Luxury and Genius and is meant to reflect the qualities that Yulon have attempted to build into the MPV. Built on an old Renault Espace chassis, the Luxgen has a central in-car computer system powered by Microsoft Windows CE that provides the entertainment system as well as an interface to various features such as the “night vision”-capable cameras mounted on the wing mirrors. Under the hood is a 2.2 litre turbocharged engine producing 200 horsepower and 280Nm of torque which should be way more than enough to lug around 7 people together with their luggage.
The MPV is 4,800mm long and 1,876mm wide, which is actually longer and wider than the benchmark Toyota Estima’s 4,795mm length and 1,800mm width. Look after the jump for more shots of the Luxgen.
