luxgen electric vehicleLuxgen has used the Dubai Motor Show to present all the great and set the bar very high. Do not beat around the bush and want to play with the big from the beginning. For that you have taken your SUV and MPV in the UAE, but have not settled with just those two bets.

In a display of courage and clear thinking have plantifi market oil in the ground to the first seven-seater electric vehicle. Is a direct derivative of conventional MPV, which has been replaced the combustion engine and fuel tank by an electric motor and a lithium-ion batteries. The engine power is 180 kW, about 244 hp, 265 Nm of applied torque and can do 0-100 in 8.6 seconds. Top speed is electronically limited to 145 km / h to avoid compromising the autonomy which is 350 km secure an average of 40 km / h.

No price has been no departure date, but does not speak at any time of concept or prototype, is a car ready to go into production.

Despite the quality and good manners is showing Luxgen in their presentations, I can not leave in the air a couple of questions that perhaps should consider their managers. First, is Dubai the ideal place to present a car that does not consume even a milliliter of gasoline? And second, they plan to hire a publicist or an expert to advise them in naming their models?
