The car is powered by a 2.2 L I-4 MEFI turbocharged engine developed by tuned by Delphi. The platform is derived from the Renault Espace. The turbocharger is supplied by Garrett and powers the engine up to 175 PS (129 kW; 173 hp) at 5,200 rpm and 28 kg·m (270 N·m; 200 lb·ft) of torque from 2,500 to 4,000 rpm.

ABS, EBD, BAS, and the Think+ Multi-purpose system(slightly different by trim level) are all standard equipment. The targeted competitor is the BYD M6.
The car is equipped with the latest technologies which makes it unique among competition. The voice controlled LUXGEN Think+ system (co-developed with HTC) combines the on-board Windows CE computer with the Electronic Stability Control system and provides 3.5G mobile internet connection, GPS navigation, along with travel, shop, and traffic information.[1]

Luxgen also plans to introduce a Luxgen7 MPV electric vehicle co-developed by AC Propulsion. The top speed is 145 km/h (90 mph) and the electric range is 350 kilometres (220 mi) at 40 km/h (25 mph).[2]
