Luxgen MPV by Taiwanese company Yulon Motor, is basically licensed an older Renault Espace chassis as the base for a 4,800mm long MPV using a 200 horsepower 2.2 liter turbocharged 4 cylinder to lug up to 7 people around. 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.
In early 2009, the company revealed that the centerpiece of the MPV would be an advanced in-car computer system powered by Microsoft Windows CE with features such as night vision. The Taiwanese have massive experience in the electronics industry and Windows CE should be no stranger to them. And this month, Yulon has also revealed more information on their Taiwanese ‘iDrive’.
Luxgen’s in-car computer will be called the Think+, and it was developed by HTC. HTC is a very big name in smartphones running on Microsoft and Google platforms. The Think+ system by HTC runs on the new Windows CE Automotive operating system. It can do in-car audio/video, telecommunications, GPS navigation, safety alerts, run apps, and control vehicle settings.
Think+ also consist of a few driver assist systems, which includes Eagle View+ which is a 360 degree camera, Night Vision+ which is a night vision system that probably uses infrared cams, and LDWS+ which is a Lane Departure Warning System.
Luxgen also has a 2nd model coming up – an SUV.
