Roewe is not wasting much time taking cars into market after taking control of the old Rover brand. Spied here is their new MPV format vehicle, one that will attempt to access markets currently owned by such cars as Mazda5, Opel Zafira, VW Touran and Renault Scenic.

Roewe recently showed the new 550 at the Beijing Auto Show. The vehicle spied was leaving a GM facility in the US, so some may think it’s a GM product, which it isn’t. The rims are clearly Roewe and also, GM and its Chinese counterpart do co-operate here and there, and so the event isn’t significant at all.

We don’t know much at this point as far as engines and other accessories go, suffice to say petrol will dominate while diesel will also be on the offering since Roewe - a three-digit nameplate is likely - aims to take the car straight into Europe where the smell of burning diesel is much sweeter than that of the green unleaded stuff. Other things that could show up include a third row of seats and even a hybrid, now that issues of pollution have been heavily highlighted in China.

Some people say this is not Roewe but in fact LUXGEN MPV based on Renault Espace.

from carspyshots.net: It might be LUXGEN MPV, the new brand registered by Yulon Motor Company in Taiwan . It would be the first product of LUXGEN, will produce in Taiwan and China, 2.2 pertol with turbo (150 KW & 280Nm )engine developed by China Engine Corp. This platform is from old RENAULT ESPACE bought from RENAULT and redesigned by LUXGEN. The offical issue would be in end of this year or early of next year.

Yulon have the long relationship with NISSAN in Taiwan and also have relationhip with GM in Taiwan and China(designed several cars in China and produce in China and Taiwan).

The following two photos was taken in Taiwan, the wheels and the style is quite similar, the only difference is the taillight.

Re: Yulon Luxgen MPV

Reports in 2008 said that Yulon and Zhejiang Zhongyu signed a 50/50 joint venture agreement in February 2008 to produce this vehicle by late 2009 in Hangzhou.
Doesn't this model resemble the Dongfeng Liuzhou Fengxing (Joyear) which is also said to be on a Renault platform?

Re: Yulon Luxgen MPV

Wow...for me I like both the front grille look and the rear view. Which is an extremely rare thing. Rarely do I like a minivan's looks at all. Like natta-no-nope-no way Jose-did I mention that I don't like most minivan's looks?!

Some serious thought was given to this one's body design and it shows in the final product. Still I don't like the minivan idea at all as a whole. But this one at least has some nice design flow to it front-side-to the back. Nice job!

The Joyear is a clone of the Mitsubishi Grandis based on te Renault Scénic, the Luxgen MPV is a people-carrier based on the previous Renault Espace, but with its own styling.

1996-2002 Renault Espace


I kind of wish some company in China will remake the classic Espace

Looks like a job for Binzhou PRIDE! lmao
