Changan Lumin PLUS has officially launched, bringing a four-door configuration to the popular ‘sticky rice’ electric vehicle. Priced from an attractive 49,900 yuan during its limited-time launch period, this new model aims to offer enhanced practicality and style.
Expanded Dimensions and Practicality
Compared to its two-door predecessor, the Lumin PLUS now boasts a four-door design, significantly increasing its overall dimensions. The new model measures 3515mm in length, an increase of 222mm, with a width of 1715mm (up 15mm) and a height of 1545mm. The wheelbase has also been extended by 220mm to 2200mm, promising a more spacious interior.
Design Evolution
While adopting a more practical four-door layout, the Lumin PLUS retains the iconic design cues of the original Lumin, affectionately known as ‘sticky rice’ (糯玉米). This includes the signature round headlights and rounded body contours. Subtle changes include the adoption of non-hidden door handles and a blacked-out lower grille section on the front fascia, adding a touch of sportiness.
Interior Enhancements
Inside, the Lumin PLUS features a redesigned interior focused on convenience and a modern aesthetic. A key change is the implementation of a column-mounted gear shifter (怀挡), freeing up valuable space in the center console area for additional storage. The infotainment system’s user interface (UI) has also been updated, and the interior sports a more unified color scheme with matching steering wheel and seats. Both the steering wheel and seats are now upholstered in leather, with adjustments also made to the door panel trims and center armrest details.
