Luxgen’s rise has been interesting to watch, they have so far followed the ‘Roewe Formula‘ which is of course to come in with high priced cars and then make lower priced cars later, its easier to come in as a high level brand with an expensive car first and then move into cheaper cars at a later date than to come in with a cheap car and try to evolve into a high level brand, Roewe proved this to be right with the introduction of the 750, then the 550 then 350. Luxgen came in strong with the Luxgen 7 which is picking up steady sales every month now, not enough to dethrone the BYD S6 but enough to make joint venture manufacturers take notice.

The Luxgen MPV seems to tick all the boxes when it comes to MPV design, “first of all – does it look like a box?” yes – tick one off “Does it have seven seats?” yes – tick one off. Under the hood, the same 2.0T delivering 160 plus ponies to the front wheels will be found in the M7 as the SUV and also future sedan.
