History

The vehicle was developed under Yulon's R&D center, HAITEC. The Luxgen is currently sold in Vietnam, China, Taiwan, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman and Iran. It is available as either a front-wheel drive or four-wheel drive and is powered by a turbocharged-and-intercooled 2.2-litre DOHC 4-cylinder engine, mated to either a 5-speed manual or a 5-speed automatic transmission.

Design

Features include the Luxgen Think+ system, co-developed with smartphone makers HTC, that comes with built-in HSPDA 3.5G communications, GPS Navigation and a 10.2-inch LCD display screen. The system also includes the "Eagle View+" 360-degree parking assist which utilises four cameras to provide a real-time visual display of the surrounding environment. The "Side View+" feature automatically displays live video images of the vehicle's rear blind spot to reduce the chance of an accident during lane changes. The "Night Vision+" high-sensitivity night vision camera system helps illuminate the road and traffic conditions at night beyond the range of the headlamps. "LDWS+" constantly reads the road surface for lane markers and dividers and gives audible and visual warnings when the vehicle veers too close to the lane markings. Overall, the SUV is equipped with 23 advanced ECUs and 8 video cameras to provide these features. Also available are power-opening doors, leather upholstery, rear DVD screen, Bluetooth and more.
