Luxgen Neora: 2011 Shanghai Auto Show

Taiwan-based Luxgen unveiled at the Shanghai Auto Show their new electric concept, the Luxgen Neora all-electric sedan.

The Luxgen Neora is a front-wheel-drive four-door electric sedan, powered by a 180kW electric induction motor which is juiced by a 48 kWh lithium-ion battery.

Luxgen claims the Neora has a range of up to 400 km (248.5 miles) when it is fully charged and that it requires just an hour for an 80% re-charge. The performance figures Luxgen Neora are quite impressive, taking into account the fact that it’s a large electric sedan. Luxgen says it can accelerate from 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 6.5 seconds and that it has a top speed of 250 km/h (155.3 mph).

The enjoyment of the cozy sunshine and scenery views is offered through the PDLC electric glass sunroof. Rear passengers can enjoy the infotainment system through an LED screen, while the driver can enjoy the ergonomic seating and benefit from the convenience of checking important information on the head-up display. Another 9-inch active intelligent information system can exchange information with other vehicles, and on the meantime provide guidance on directions.

In terms of fuel economy, aerodynamics and aesthetics, the design of the front of Luxgen Neora is innovatively revolutionized. The minimum intake area decreases the drag coefficient and achieves both aesthetics and energy-efficiency. A groundbreaking design concept of electric power elements is applied on the headlights, as the illuminating components inside the headlights create the hi-tech visual effect. The larger angle of the rear side lights emphasizes the body lines and its strong characteristics.
