Three years ago in Moscow there was a grand premiere of the Luxgen brand, little known in our country, originally from Taiwan. In September 2013 mid-size crossover Luxgen 7 goes on sale. Full production was launched right in Cherkessk at the Derways enterprise. In general, the correct name for the Luxgen brand is Laxgin, but we deliberately call it Luxgen. It's more convenient and easier.

The brand name was based on two English words– Luxury or luxury, and Genius, also known as “brilliant”. In just seven years of the company's existence, the Taiwanese have made a brilliant leap forward. Luxgen 7 is positioned as a representative premium segment, which remains relatively affordable for the mass consumer. The entire Laxjin range.

Exterior

The design of the seventh Luxgen turned out to be at least unusual. Large head optics and a massive radiator grille played a decisive role in this. When viewed in profile, the crossover looks like a puffy Infiniti Ex. In our opinion, the front of the car is its weak point. Take a look at the Luxgen 7 photo - you will see strange small grilles, a strange radiator shape, and headlights.

Somehow everything is clumsy and unsightly. From the rear, the car looks a little better, there is no feeling of “bad taste”. The nose of the car has a large bumper, which in turn covers a large vertical “nose”. On the central part, the “trapezoid” radiator grille found its place, which received a chrome frame and two-story air ducts on both sides, which were made of black plastic.

Located at the top, they were decorated with ribbons LED system daily running lights. Lamps fog system We got our place quite high, almost near the head light. The stamping, which has a U-shape, seems to “hug” the radiator grille, stylish ribs pass through the surface of the hood and smoothly join the A-pillars of the roof. The ledges where the hood merges into the fenders have almond-shaped headlights.

The ancestor indirectly looks like a Peugeot 3008. The side of the Taiwanese car contains considerable door openings, an ascending line of side windows with an “armrest”, which turned out to be quite high, the edge is level door handles, wheel arches are carefully calibrated and can be easily accommodated light wheels alloy, designed for 18 inches, a roof dome with a spoiler and a compact rear part in the style of current crossover coupe-type bodies.

If you turn your attention to the rear part of the car, it is distinguished by narrow lampshades of dimensions, which are made in the style of an LED system, small door luggage compartment, a stylish bumper with auxiliary elements of lighting technology and built-in exhaust pipes, which have a trapezoidal shape.

The car turned out to be quite good, with proportional and attractive qualities. Of course, some things were purchased from others automobile companies, however, we can confidently say that the model came out original.

Interior

But here the Taiwanese designers got it right. First of all, with space. After all, having a length of 4.8 meters (this is longer than that of the Volkswagen Touareg 2015), there is no doubt that free space both front and back. Interior decoration average in quality. These are no longer China, but also not premium models from famous European brands.

If the exterior of the Luxgen 7 car raises more or less controversial issues, then when you get into the interior you freeze a little, surprised by the unexpected luxury. The interior received leather trim, not artificial leather, but real leather. It covered the door cards, the lower part of the front dashboard and the central tunnel, steering wheel, and the seats received upholstery perforated leather, which hints a little at the heating and ventilation function.

The driver's seat has an excellent profile and clearly defined support bolsters on the sides. A large steering wheel with a thin rim can be adjusted purely in height, a considerable dashboard flows through a large console into a floor tunnel that looks high. An LCD display with a diagonal of 10.2 inches has found its place in the middle of the central panel.

It displays an image from 4 cameras, which provide all-round visibility, navigation maps, video from a night vision camera, adjust the multimedia system, and 3-zone climate control. The console, which is located in the center, has a scattering of keys, and it will take time to get used to them and know which is responsible for what. The first row of seats has sufficient free space.

In addition, the seats have an electric drive function. As for the rear sofa, there is no less free space, so even three tall people playing basketball can fit comfortably. The seats installed at the rear can be moved forward and backward using a slide, the backrest can be adjusted according to the angle of inclination, and there are own deflectors for the ventilation system. The floor turned out to be smooth.

The luggage compartment is really huge, although its exact volume is still unknown. The Luxgen 7 SUV crossover model has a considerable number of useful functions in its list. So, there is a “smart” electric tailgate drive, which has been trained to monitor the possibility of fully opening the door.

In practice, this will help in a tight parking lot or in a garage, where free space there will not be enough for the door and it will not rise to the maximum opening, protecting itself from possible damage. There is also high-end music from the Hi-End system, from Clarion, which is equipped with JBL speakers, which have excellent sound quality. Dashboard completely electronic.

There is relatively little soft plastic inside. Any shortcomings you might find here simply pale in comparison to the impressive high-tech content. Just look at the side camera, which turns on every time you turn on the turn signal. The image is displayed on a 10-inch monitor.

An interesting option for the Luxgen Seven car is the anti-theft system. When a threat arises, the driver's seat leans forward so much that no one other than the owner can return it to its place and get behind the wheel. It is clear that this is unlikely to stop a professional car thief, but still...

Specifications

Power unit

Under the hood, the user will find only a 2.2-liter turbo engine with 175 horsepower and fuel consumption of 11-12 liters on a straight line. In urban driving mode you will have to give up 15 liters for every 100 km. There will be two drives - both front and rear. At the same time, the rear-wheel drive Luxgen car will be 4 cm higher.

On the road, the Taiwanese disappoints. On high speed the engine frankly lacks traction, and the steering sensitivity leaves much to be desired. Noise insulation also failed - sometimes the engine buzz is too loud. Speaking for specifications Luxgen 7, then this car is designed on the basis front wheel drive cars, and optionally it will be possible to order all-wheel drive version With electromagnetic coupling, which serves to engage the rear axle, from Getrag.

There will be three operating modes – 2WD, Auto and Lock. Speaking of suspensions, it is worth mentioning that McPherson struts were installed at the front, and a rotating beam with a Panhard rod at the rear. A hydraulic power steering wheel is also installed, brake system presented disc brakes, and there is also a considerable amount electronic functions– ABS, EBD, BAS, ESC, TSC, BOS.

The power unit is synchronized with a 5-speed automatic gearbox. On top of that, a manual mode from the Japanese company Aisin will be available. Electronic system is able to adapt to the driver’s manners, choosing from 10 existing operating algorithms provided. If we say something like this big crossover It would be better with a more powerful powertrain because its competitors outperform the Luxgen 7 in this department.

Dimensions

The Luxgen 7 crossover has the following overall characteristics: length – 4,800 mm, height – 1,760 mm, width 1,930 mm, wheelbase 2,910 mm, ground clearance is 175 mm, which is very good, because such ground clearance will come in handy on our roads.

Safety

The new product has complete set AirBag, which includes curtains on the sides and an ABS system and electronic distribution braking forces. There are 9 pillows in total. Luxgen is equipped with top functions passive safety, as they were built and adjusted to pass crash tests by the German company Continental. Active security options were developed by the US company Delphi.

Following the completion of a large number of crash tests and related work, active together with passive system safety Luxgen 7 are ready to ensure the protection of human health, which is certified by international institutions.

Various electrical systems help ensure predictable behavior of the car on city highways and good handling off-road. When the car approaches the separation line and the turn signal is not on, the service will inform the driver about leaving the lane using a sound signal.

Options and prices

Since the Taiwanese manufacturer considers Russia as the main sales market, three variations were released for our country at once of this car. The basic configuration of Luxgen 7 SUV will cost the buyer 1,320,000 rubles. There is no all-wheel drive here, as well as all that multimedia stuffing, leather interior, functional wheel and ESC/TCS systems, which were described above.

Having paid an additional 180,000 rubles, you can count on the appearance of some options. The maximum configuration “Prestige” costs 1,610,000 rubles. The cost of the car is quite justified, because the manufacturer compares its brainchild with the Mitsubishi Outlander.

To be honest, it’s hard to finally figure out which country the Luxgen 7 SUV model is from. The manufacturer seems to be Taiwanese, but it is indicated on the car Chinese production. Yulon Motor is a Luxgen company, but 20 percent of Yulon Motor, in turn, belongs to the Chinese automaker Dongfeng.

One way or another, we will consider the Luxgen 7 SUV a Taiwanese crossover. And instead of determining affiliation, it’s better to present a full review of the new product. In addition, this crossover has certain claims to the premium class. Current model 2014-2015 has been sold in Russia since 2013, and the official presentation of the Luxgen 7 SUV took place a year earlier at the Moscow international motor show.

The car is interesting for many reasons. First of all, the manufacturer is positioning it as a premium crossover, which at first glance looks like a dubious idea on Luxgen’s part. On the other hand, the equipment and interior are quite good, and therefore today we will try to determine whether this crossover is worthy of wearing the banner of a premium car, or whether it will turn out to be a pathetic parody of thoroughbred.

Exterior

If you judge the car purely by its appearance, then it clearly cannot be called a premium crossover. The features of the French are clearly visible, as well as notes of some other cars from famous automakers.

In general, it is quite difficult to describe the appearance of this specimen. Therefore, we recommend that you look at photo and video materials in order to understand what is in front of us.

The front part is made unusually. In many ways this unusual appearance is formed by an almost rectangular radiator grille, encased in chrome and complemented by three crossbars. A little higher is a chrome strip with the manufacturer's nameplate. The fog lights are located quite high, almost under the head optics itself, which, in turn, has an elongated but original shape.

The side view still allows us to call the car a crossover. Inflated wheel arches, large doors, a rounded roofline and even door sills. Plus we are dealing with special black body kits made of plastic.

The rear part offers the same black plastic body kits, a fairly solid-sized bumper, very attractive optics and a fairly large trunk door with a spoiler on the glass.

In general, the appearance turned out to be good, solid and certainly original. In any case, now you won’t see a car on the roads that would have a front view similar to that of the Luxgen 7 SUV.

Buyers have the opportunity to choose one of seven body color options. Thus, the car can be painted silver-blue, gray, white, black, bronze, silver or platinum orange.

Although even from the name it is clear that the car is classified as an urban crossover, its dimensions are clearly somewhat large for this segment. But judge for yourself:

• length - 4800 millimeters
• width - 1930 millimeters
• height - 1760 millimeters
• wheelbase - 2910 millimeters
• ground clearance (clearance) - 175 millimeters.

We'll find out later if they'll allow it. external dimensions provide spacious salon. But let’s also add that for a crossover, the ground clearance of 175 millimeters looks quite small. If necessary or desired, it can be increased by using other wheels, but engineers could still try to provide crossover ground clearance.

Interior

When you look inside the car, you understand why they decided to classify this crossover as a premium one. In many ways, the “armament” of the interior is reminiscent of the pedantic, neat, but very stylish approach of the Mercedes company.

As for the interior style, the Luxgen 7 SUV did not copy anyone, but received own ideas and implemented them very successfully. Plus, the car boasts a serious richness of various features, expensive bells and whistles typical of premium cars. And there are no complaints about the quality of the materials used; they are truly excellent.

The equipment level of the new product is high, leather is used throughout. The instrument panel is perfectly readable and also electronic. There are a lot of buttons on the center console, each of which has its own function. So you still have to get used to it and figure it out.

At the head of the entire interior is a modern multifunctional multimedia and information complex, presented in the form of a 10.2-inch touch display. It provides a navigator, camera images and much more, including audio and video content. By the way, the sound reproduction is provided by a high-quality system from Clarion with excellent speakers and simply perfect sound.

The driver's seat can safely be called unique, since the Taiwanese equipped it with anti-theft system. By pressing a special security button, in three seconds the seat moves close to the steering wheel, preventing the potential thief from even getting a hint of the opportunity to get behind the wheel.

As for the rear row, the large dimensions of the body fully justified themselves. There is more than enough space in the cabin. Three large and tall passengers can be accommodated in the rear without any problems or discomfort. By the way, the absence of a tunnel on the floor and the ability to move the rear row forward and backward add serious advantages and significantly increase the level of comfort of the crossover.

Equipment

Of course, if you wanted to make a premium crossover, it’s unlikely that Luxgen could afford meager equipment. It’s not only modest, it’s rich. Now we will tell you a list of equipment available in the Luxgen 7 SUV. Of course, it can be longer, but we will try to select the most important and useful:

• leather interior and leather decor
• entertainment media complex Think+ with 10.2-inch display
• navigator
• night vision camera
• all-round cameras
• smart electric drive for the tailgate that can stop depending on the presence of nearby obstacles
• anti-theft system on the driver's seat
• ventilation, heating and massage of the front seats
• Clarion audio system with JBL speakers
• six airbags (already in the basic version)
• electric exterior mirrors
• electric windows on all side doors
• adaptive cruise control
• three-zone climate control
• xenon headlights
• road marking monitoring system
• blind spot monitoring system
• EBD and ABS systems.

One such unpleasant spot in the equipment, taking into account the crossover’s relationship to the premium class, is the presence of an adjustable steering column only for reach. This is somehow strange and a little incomprehensible. Either they forgot, or decided to save money. In any case, a mistake was made. Although, if you take into account everything else that the crossover offers, then the steering column can be forgiven.

Price

Prices for this Taiwanese crossover are already known. Behind basic version with front wheel drive you will have to pay approx. 1.3 million rubles. For a premium crossover, the price is normal, but it’s still a Luxgen.

If you want to get a new product with all-wheel drive, a bunch of different options and in maximum equipment, then prepare order 1.6 million rubles.

Still a strange attitude towards the car. It seems nice on the outside, rich and high quality on the inside. But still the price of 1.3-1.6 million looks high. If you were in his place, anyone else would be more famous manufacturer, surely such thoughts would not have arisen.

Specifications

The car is offered with front-wheel drive as standard, but is also available as an option. four-wheel drive. By the way, the latter has three operating modes, including switching to two-wheel drive.

As for power units, we should speak here in the singular. We won’t see a line with a motor, but we will get one uncontested Gas engine, which was developed by American specialists from the companies Garett and Delphi.

So under the hood of the Luxgen 7 SUV there will be 2.2-liter turbo engine, whose power is 175 Horse power. It is equipped with a five-speed automatic transmission with the option of manual mode. The electronics are based on the driver's driving style and adapt to him individually.

In general, the engine is not bad, but competitors still have much more powerful and interesting power units. So here the Luxgen 7 SUV is inferior.

Conclusion

The car evokes very mixed emotions. And reviews from owners confirm our thoughts. On the one hand, we have before us a handsome interesting crossover, truly entitled to claim premium class.

But on the other hand, we cannot give him a great chance of success. Well, it’s frankly too early for a car from a country like Taiwan to participate in a race with premium cars. It's not that the car is poorly made or not well equipped. No, everything is excellent here, at a very high level.

Unfortunately, we are not yet ready to give up such a concept as the status of a car. Compare how the phrase " german car" and "Taiwanese car". An association immediately arises with something dull, low-grade. The Luxgen 7 SUV is clearly not suitable for the Russian market for the simple and banal reason of our mentality. But where people are simpler, and do not care so much about their status, where Quality and reliability are important; this crossover can still claim something.

It’s a shame, because the Taiwanese company has done a great job, albeit with the help of foreign specialists. It will be a shame if the project fails and sales turn out to be dismal. However, let's be optimistic and wish the newcomer good luck. He will really need it.

Many drivers are often interested next questions- who produces Luxgen? car manufacturer Luxgen? whose Luxgen car? who makes Luxgen? or whose production is the Luxgen car? - So the country of origin of Luxgen is China (or rather, the production located in the suburbs of Miaoli, Taiwan). And not so long ago in Cherkessk at a specially created Derways plant, are already being assembled Luxgen crossovers 7.

Luxgen meaning of the word, (icon (sign), emblem, logo)

The meaning of the word Luxgen is formed from the merger of two layers: “Luxury” (translated as luxury, wealth) and “Genius” (translated as giftedness, genius). And it's not hard to say thatsign Luxgenand looks premium. Onemblem Luxgen the stylistic letter "L" is depicted and it is not difficult to guess that this is the name of the brand Luxgen. We can also safely say that the logo Luxgen does not copy its design from any of the world brands, and cannot but rejoice!

History of Luxgen cars with photos

The history of the Luxgen car began relatively recently. In 2008 large Taiwanese corporation Yulon Group founded a subsidiary, Laxjin, specializing in the production of licensed Nissan cars and Mitsubishi, but soon cars appeared with their own unique brand. So, in 2009, the first Luxgen car appeared - the Luxgen 7 MPV minivan. The series continued with the four-wheel drive 7 SUV. Both cars are equipped with a MEFI turbocharger. The engine was created by ChungHwa Engine Corporation, and produced by Delphi Corporation. In general, Yulon Group was not created with the purpose of starting the production of automobiles. The company was founded in 1949, and first moved into the production of vehicles in 1953.

Today, this corporation is the largest vehicle manufacturer in Taiwan, with facilities in Taiwan, China and the Philippines. However, until recently it produced exclusively cars of other brands. The Luxgen story demonstrated to Yulon Group that Taiwan was quite capable of producing its own cars.

The Taiwanese company has adopted the official motto “ThinkAhead”. This harmoniously reflected on the features of the company's products. Cars are designed in such a way that they are independently able to foresee developments on the road and warn the driver in advance about the possible danger. The Think+ system included in every Luxgen machine combines latest developments NTS, harmoniously connected with the MicrosoftCE interface.

As a result, we have a system that provides access to a multimedia database and is capable of working with modern communication systems. EagleView+ 360-degree camera suite combined with modern system For night driving NightVision+ allows you to provide the clearest analysis of your surroundings. Thus, Luxgen vehicles are able to provide maximum high level safety on the road.

The production of vehicles in Taiwan has allowed local IT industry developers to implement their developments in this area, and not only in the field of private transport. Thus, the company is already creating environmentally friendly urban transport equipped with “smart” systems. Luxgen's partners include Garrett, Aisin, MagnaProvide and others, which develop all the systems that make up Luxgen vehicles.

Luxgen5 Sedan is the first time that a car has been entirely developed by Taiwanese companies. She joined the new series Luxgen, and was unveiled at the Taipei Auto Show in late 2011, but the car has been further improved since then, and its final version was unveiled in mid-2012.

The company developed the Luxgen Neora machine, which was the first development to use an electric motor. Thus, the company tried to realize its main idea - the creation of environmentally friendly vehicles, which should in the future displace outdated cars with engines internal combustion. The Luxgen5 Sedan, however, is equipped with the usual four-cylinder engine, the volume of which is 2 liters. This car is also equipped with the Think+ system and all the associated equipment.

In general, Luxgen cars, despite the little popularity of the brand, are promising, and are gradually taking their rightful place in the motor transport market. It is these companies that may be able to finally switch vehicles from internal combustion engines to electric motors.

The Luxgen 7 SUV is a new product from the Taiwanese concern Yulon Motor. The Luxgen 7 SUV first appeared in public in 2012 at the Moscow International Motor Show. The Luxgen 7 SUV cannot be called a fully Taiwanese development, because a quarter of the company’s shares belongs to the Chinese manufacturer DongFeng.

Looking at the photo of the Luxgen 7 SUV, you can see a barely noticeable protective molding made of unpainted plastic located along the entire length of the body. Unfortunately, but the impressive dimensions of the body and elegant design Doesn't feel premium.

Attention to every detail
The interior of the Luxgen 7 SUV can easily be classified as a premium segment. Interior trim and materials are made in best traditions European cars- leather upholstery even in the most insignificant detail at first glance, a pleasant color combination.
On the massive front panel, you immediately notice the non-standard number of air ducts, of which there are six in each Luxgen 7 SUV configuration.
Focusing on the premium segment, the front seats of the Luxgen 7 SUV are equipped with electrical adjustments, heating, ventilation and massage systems. But despite the excellent technical equipment, the front seats are short and lateral support is not clearly expressed.
From the photo of the Luxgen 7 SUV, you can determine that the useful volume of the luggage compartment reaches about 970 liters, when folded back row seats, the figure increases to 1739 liters.

Specifications (with brief overview)
On premium SUV Luxgen 7 SUV is installed exclusively turbocharged engine 175 hp It should be noted that the development of the gasoline power unit was carried out with the participation of American specialists. 2.2 liter engine paired with a five-speed automatic transmission Japanese manufacturer Aisin. The operation of the engine is individually adapted to each driver with his or her own driving style. This is achieved thanks to the presence of a dozen prescribed operating algorithms. But still the power is 175 hp. even with a turbocharged engine, it’s clearly not enough for a two-ton engine, and as a result, there is an acute lack of dynamics.
Yet, despite the presence of a dynamic turbine Luxgen characteristics 7 SUVs are quite modest and do not reach the performance of premium competitors.

By default, Luxgen 7 SUV only has front-wheel drive. If desired, it is optionally possible to install full-fledged all-wheel drive with several operating modes - Lock, Auto and 2WD. The electronics are responsible for connecting or disconnecting the rear axle, depending on the driving conditions.
The French-developed P7 platform served as the basis for a premium crossover. It is worth noting that most of the components and assemblies are made in Japan and Europe. For example, car noise insulation is carried out by the company LMS from Belgium, ABS from the American company Delphi, even airbags are supplied by the Swedish company Autoliv.
When driving on city roads, the sound of the engine and the noise from under the wheels is practically inaudible. And when driving off the asphalt onto a country road, it’s very difficult to break through the suspension. Even on rough roads with potholes, the ride quality is consistent with the Luxgen 7 SUV's asking price.
Excellent visibility of the car is complemented by eight installed cameras, which provide 360-degree visibility, work in night vision mode, recognize markings and blind spots - all in the best traditions premium cars Japan and Europe.

Options and prices
On domestic market The Luxgen 7 SUV comes in several trim levels. Buy Luxgen 7 SUV in basic configuration possible for 1,320,000 rubles. For such an immodest sum, the owner receives an Airbag for the driver and front passenger, ABS, EBD, EBA LED rear optics, fabric upholstery with leather inserts on the steering wheel and gear selector, keyless entry and Start/Stop button, rear sensors parking, 4 ESP, luggage door with electric drive, climate control, rear view camera and multimedia system with DVD and six speakers. All cars in this configuration are equipped exclusively with front-wheel drive.
It is possible to buy the Luxgen 7 SUV in an all-wheel drive version in two trim levels: Comfort Plus and Prestige.

The price of a Luxgen 7 SUV in the Prestige configuration will be about 1,600,000 rubles.

Advantages and disadvantages
Surprising as it may be, the premium model of the Taiwanese manufacturer is superior in some respects to Japanese and European competitors. Undoubtedly, the car has many strengths:
. A noble combination of two-tone upholstery, and the entire interior meets all the requirements of the premium segment;
. Absence extraneous noise and vibrations in the cabin;
. Each trim level is richly equipped, but this probably shouldn’t be surprising, because the Luxgen 7 SUV does not position itself as a budget car;
Unfortunately, according to some characteristics, the Luxgen 7 SUV does not reach more expensive class cars:
. Quite a weak power unit;
. With fairly substantial dimensions, the ground clearance is only 150mm;
. Enough high price compared to other Chinese cars.

The Luxgen company entered the Russian market unexpectedly for many buyers, and therefore has not yet gained the necessary momentum. Expensive premium vehicles need promotion, which the brand has not yet provided. The only car, which Russian car enthusiasts know at least something about - a crossover called Luxgen 7 SUV. It’s difficult to tell from the photo that the car belongs to the premium class, but the technical characteristics and reviews of the owners place the car specifically in this segment.

After watching beautiful videos from full test drive Laxjin 7, you might assume that the car is quite suitable for Russian use. But you should take a closer look at the car, which is produced in Taiwan. After studying the photos and looking at the price, you can hardly tell whether the Luxgen 7 is worthy of a place in your garage. We offer detailed review car with an assessment of owner reviews, analysis of the design and technical characteristics of the car.

Appearance - nothing grandiose or elegant simplicity?

When you see a Luxgen 7 SUV on the city streets, you are unlikely to take out a camera or phone and start taking photos or shooting videos of the car. The visual price of the crossover is very dubious, and the concern itself says that the vehicle was created in the style of simplicity and accessibility. In official advertising photos, the Luxgen 7 car is presented in the simplest possible form, which reduces the attractiveness of the vehicle.

But already on a personal test drive you will understand how wrong the first opinion was. Up close, the car looks quite adequate; the main features of the Luxgen 7’s appearance are as follows:

• the crossover is made simply, there are no unpleasant features in it;
• the body design is not repulsive, it fully corresponds to the ideas of modern car;
• owner reviews of the cabin indicate that the company has created a premium interior space;
• even in the photo of the interior, high-quality materials and thoughtful, unique ergonomics are noticeable;
• materials for the assembly of Luxgen7 SUV were selected to be of the highest quality and durability;
• The quality of the interior and exterior is surprising; driving a crossover creates a pleasant experience.

Assessing the Luxgen 7 SUV from the outside, you may be surprised at its simplicity and say for sure that this is not premium car, but a completely ordinary vehicle without any attractive characteristics. But real test drive changes the crossover in your perception, after the trip you will be ready to pay quite high price for this car.

Of course, many opponents of Taiwanese products will be against even a test drive and will not want to study this model. These are understandable emotions, but this crossover pushes the boundaries of standards.

Technical characteristics are the main ace in the crossover's sleeve

A simple Luxgen 7, at first impression, should have had the most ordinary engine without any interesting characteristics. But the manufacturer has provided for its crossover a 2.2-liter turbocharged power unit with a potential of 175 horsepower, as well as an expensive adaptive gearbox with automatic shifting.

It’s unlikely that you would have expected after your first visual acquaintance with the Luxgen7 SUV that the car is capable of such amazing technical characteristics. During the test drive you will be delighted with the following features of the equipment:

• the powerful engine turned out to be optimal for the weight of the car - the dynamics are pleasantly surprising;
• with all the advantages, the power unit is not too voracious, it saves fuel;
• the box has amazing operating modes, the 5-automatic transmission with adaptive settings is unique in its kind;
• the crossover has excellent handling, the steering is sharp at high speed and soft in the city;
• it seems that all car systems adapt to the driver when it is really necessary.

Such a crossover has few restrictions in terms of price, but do not forget that Luxgen 7 is of Taiwanese origin. The car is flexible and can be customized perfectly for any driver, the technology is flexible and has personal adaptations. And it became main feature Luxgen 7 SUV, which will help you sell it for good money.

However, today the amazing technical characteristics of the Taiwanese remain unnoticed by Russian crossover buyers.

Test drive and benefits of buying a Taiwanese SUV

The compact crossover from Taiwan deserves some attention. At the very least, going for a test drive and reading a few owner reviews will be quite useful. The company offers a free test ride in the showroom of an official dealer, as well as ongoing information support for customers.

But let's talk about the benefits of the acquisition, which can force a Russian to pay such a price for an Asian-made car. Luxgen 7 is a car that offers the following features:

• excellent equipment, as well as the availability of premium versions for really big money;
• absence of childhood diseases - the car has been worked one hundred percent in every component;
• high level of travel comfort, every detail of the car works for your convenience;
• a large number of bonuses from a company that is trying to gain a foothold in the Russian market;
• price benefits compared to other brands and comparable class crossovers;
• excellent, albeit rare, reviews from owners about the technical part of this model, praise to the designers and creators of the transport;
• no need for any modification of the machine or installation of additional devices.

The trim levels offer a fairly large number of comfortable features. For example, a car for 1,000,000 rubles has an electric rear door, leather interior and special lighting for reading a book. In the 1.3 million version you can find a sunroof, electric seats, massage for the driver, and a voice control system for functions.

Overall, the Luxgen 7 SUV remains one of the most technologically advanced offerings in its price range. To be convinced of the superiority of the car, just take it for a test drive and drive a few kilometers. If you are worried about the quality of transport, read the reviews of those who have owned this model for a long time.

Let's sum it up

Many people claim that transport from Taiwan cannot be of high quality. The same thing was said about Chinese cars, which today top the sales rankings. The market is becoming more and more complex, it is impossible to understand which country offers quality cars. Both the Japanese and the Germans are actively losing their dominance in the world market, and Luxgen 7 has every chance of becoming one of the dark horses of the new emerging market.

The car has everything needed to significantly increase its popularity. In official showrooms Luxgen 7 SUV is sold today with significant discounts, so the buyer can get advantages when choosing this vehicle. If you are satisfied with the visual and technical features of the car, be sure to take advantage of the current benefits and buy a Taiwanese bestseller for personal use. But the choice should be based only on personal impressions from the test drive and getting to know the car.
