Luxgen MPV7

By  •  Published:  •  Last updated:




Something new from a Taiwanese company I’ve never heard of.
At it doesn’t look bad. The front could be a Honda. The rest is kind of generic but at least as modern as most small MPVs we get over here. (Which is basically just the Mazda5)
It seats 7 and power comes from a 2.2 Liter Turbo engine good for 175hp.
A 5 speed auto is standard.

We’ll never see this, unless the “New Saturn” decides to shop around the world for cars.

  1. This is the first minivan to ever be at the level of "high style" of the Chrysler Town & Country (2009). First one to ever come close.

  2. Wow, no one left a commet yet? If this was a HYundai at least ten people would have said the chrome on the front came off the Honda Civic like way before the Kia Forte debuted people are still saying it looks like a Civic.

  3. The body reminds me of the Ford Flex and the face Hondaish. If this was a Hyudnai, the perosn in the frist post would never say "High style". What does the tailights look like. I see that the a pillars came from the Honda Fit. But since it's not a Hyundai, no ones going to say that. The interior looks ugly with that wood. If Hyundai done it everyone would say that. From where the Navagation System sits. it located where the 2004 Kia Amanti's trip computer is. But it's alright to copy Kia because no one says what cars copy the Koreans because they're Hyundai's like the Mitsubishi Eclipse side profile is a better looking Kia KCV-3 concept form the side. Or the new Infiniti FX's headlights are off the old Hyundai HCD series concepts.

  4. Actually, this could end up as a Saturn. Yulon (which makes the Luxgen) builds vehicles for Nissan, Renault, and GM. The Luxgen is based on the Renault Espace. So if Saturn does import Renaults, it is possible.

  5. I can see some Honda in the front end, but Ford Flex? Seriously? That must be some strong stuff you're smoking. Maybe Ford C-Max or S-Max, but the Flex?

  7. This is a Chinese car from BYD. Changed a little for Taiwan. Yulong is not big enough, nor does it have enough market to design it's own cars from scratch.

  8. That's definitely Toyota based, the interior parts including the steering were lifted directly from the JDM Crown.

  9. That's definitely Toyota based, the interior parts including the steering were lifted directly from the JDM Crown.

  11. "interior parts including the steering were lifted directly from the JDM Crown." WELL, not really. not from the Crown Majestic or Majesta or Athlete. Not from any of the Lexus or Camry or Cressida based Crowns. Not even from the Century. Nope. I think these guys deserve full credit for coming up with a dash that looks better than most of whats on the road these days — including all of the Toyota products in the $30,000 and up range. This is not just another imitator from China. If this van is their first vehicle, they're off to a very good start.
