Vehicle model
Luxgen Gamme Luxgen - utilitaires ou VUS
The utility and SUV lineup forms the core of Luxgen's offering. It includes the U6 (a compact crossover launched in 2013, redesigned as the U6 Neo in 2022-2023), the URX (a mid-size crossover from 2019, available in five- to seven-seat versions and updated as the URX Neo), as well as the older U5 (subcompact, 2017) and U7 (large SUV, 2010). These vehicles target families seeking space, versatility, and generous technological equipment at an accessible price. They are characterized by spacious interiors, surround-view cameras, and driving aids. Distributed mainly in Taiwan and a few emerging markets, they are absent from North America. On the tire side, these SUVs generally run 17- to 18-inch wheels; in Quebec, mounting certified mountain-snowflake winter tires would be mandatory to drive during the cold season.

Tires and wheels
Tire and wheel compatibility
Les Luxgen partagent souvent une base technique d'origine japonaise (Mitsubishi), ce qui implique généralement un entraxe de roues de type 5 trous courant sur les véhicules de ce calibre. Les VUS comme l'U6 et l'URX chaussent typiquement des jantes de 17 à 18 pouces, tandis que les modèles plus compacts (U5, S3) tournent autour de 16 à 17 pouces. Comme ces véhicules ne circulent pas au Québec, il n'existe pas d'offre locale dédiée; un propriétaire devrait s'en remettre aux équivalences de dimensions. Pour tout véhicule roulant l'hiver au Québec, des pneus d'hiver homologués (pictogramme montagne-flocon) demeurent obligatoires et essentiels à la traction sur glace et neige. Vérifier toujours les dimensions exactes sur la plaque du véhicule.
