Interior

In April 2022, Changan unveiled a new city car, creating a new Lumin model line dedicated to affordable electric cars. The small 3-door model has been kept in a modern design, distinguished by a round silhouette with characteristic, round headlights and rear lamps and a two-color painted body. The modular EPA0 platform made it possible to create space in the cabin for 4 passengers. [1]

The interior of the Lumin is kept in a minimalist, simple design that limits the surfaces with instruments to a minimum. The dashboard was dominated by a 260 mm (10.25 in) touchscreen multimedia system, and the standard equipment maintained a rich level with, among others, radio, navigation, connectivity with smartphone interfaces and adaptive cruise control. [2]

The Lumin was built for the domestic Chinese market, where sales began two months after its debut in June 2022. It is positioned as a low-cost city car, with a price starting at 48,900 yuan at its debut, and competing for the intensively developing market of similar structures in China. [3]

Specifications

The Lumin is an electric car for a typical urban purpose, which went on sale with an electric motor with a power of 41 hp, allowing for a maximum speed of 101 km/h (63 mph). [4] The vehicle is available with two battery packs supplied by the Chinese company CATL, distinguished by a capacity of 13 kWh or 18 kWh. The first package allows drivers to drive about 155 km (96 mi) on a single charge, and the more expensive one has a range of up to 210 km (130 mi) on a single charge. [5]
