The car is powered by a 2.2 L I-4 MEFI turbocharged engine developed by tuned by Delphi. The platform is derived from the Renault Espace. The turbocharger is supplied by Garrett and powers the engine up to 175 PS (129 kW; 173 hp) at 5,200 rpm and 28 kg⋅m (270 N⋅m; 200 lb⋅ft) of torque from 2,500 to 4,000 rpm. The 5-speed Manumatic transmission is supplied by Aisin. Pricing starts at NT$798,000 up to NT$1,068,000. ABS, EBD, BAS, and the Think+ Multi-purpose system(slightly different by trim level) are all standard equipment. The targeted competitor is the BYD Song Max. In 2014, the Luxgen7 MPV received a facelift and name change to Luxgen M7 to fit the new Luxgen naming theme.

A facelift was done in 2014 with a redesigned front bumper, dark head lamps with DRL, and a new set of LED tail lamps. The name was changed from Luxgen7 MPV to Luxgen M7 turbo Eco hyper, and the engine was also updated with a retuned 2.2- liter I4 turbo one with improved horsepower of 202PS and 30 kg⋅m (290 N⋅m; 220 lb⋅ft) of torque from 2,400 to 4,000 rpm. The fuel efficiency was also improved to 13.57 km/L(EPA) and 11.8 km/L(EU).
In September 2021, Luxgen confirmed that the ICE-only powered M7 minivan will be discontinued from late this year due to poor sales and implementation of the Environmental Protection Administration's Phase 6 automotive emissions standards, as its engine is unable to be modified further to remain in compliance with the new automotive emission standards. This means that the Luxgen M7 will only be available with an all-electric powertrain as the sole powertrain choice for the M7. [2]
Luxgen also introduced the world's first electric MPV, Luxgen7 MPV electric vehicle co-developed by AC Propulsion. The top speed is 145 km/h (90 mph) and the electric range is 350 kilometres (217 mi) at 40 km/h (25 mph).
