Overview

The vehicle was developed under Yulon's R&D center, HAITEC. Based on the same platform as the Luxgen S5 compact car, the U6 crossover is Luxgen's first compact crossover positioned under the U7 7 seater SUV. A minor update was done in 2014, featuring the new Eco Hyper engine technology. The U6 Turbo is available with two turbocharged engines: 1.8 turbo with 171 hp (128 kW) and 27.1 kg⋅m (266 N⋅m; 196 lbf⋅ft) or a 2.0 turbo with 191 hp (142 kW) and 28 kg⋅m (275 N⋅m; 203 lbf⋅ft). Gearbox: 5-speed automatic or 5-speed manual for the 1.8 turbo, and a 6-speed automatic for the 2.0 turbo.[1][2][3]

The Luxgen U6 used to be called Luxgen U6 Turbo Eco Hyper in Taiwan. A facelift model was launched in 2017 Shanghai Motor Show. It went on sale in November, 2017 in Taiwan. The U6 GT is powered by a 1.8L petrol engine with 202 PS (149 kW; 199 hp) and 32.6 kg⋅m (320 N⋅m; 236 lbf⋅ft), and the U6 GT220 is powered by a 1.8L petrol engine with 222 PS (163 kW; 219 hp) and 33.6 kg⋅m (330 N⋅m; 243 lbf⋅ft), both with 6-speed manumatic transmissions.[4] Its competitor worldwide is the BYD Song.
