Luxgen U7, or previously known as the Luxgen7 SUV is a 7-seater mid-size SUV introduced by the Taiwanese manufacturer Luxgen Yulon Group. The vehicle was developed under Yulon's R&D center, HAITEC. The Luxgen U7 is a 7-seater SUV, currently sold in China, Taiwan, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Oman. It is available as either a front-wheel drive or four-wheel drive. The top feature is the Luxgen Think+ system, co-developed with smartphone makers HTC, that comes with built-in HSPDA 3.5G communications, GPS Navigation and a 10.2-inch LCD display screen for a comprehensive tech package. The system also includes the "Eagle View+" 360-degree parking assist which utilises four cameras to provide a real-time visual display of the surrounding environment. The "Side View+" feature automatically displays live video images of the vehicle's rear blind spot to reduce the chance of an accident during lane changes. The "Night Vision+" high-sensitivity night vision camera system helps illuminate the road and traffic conditions at night beyond the range of the headlamps.

"LDWS+" constantly reads the road surface for lane markers and dividers and gives audible and visual warnings when the vehicle veers too close to the lane markings. Overall, the SUV is equipped with 23 advanced ECUs and 8 video cameras to provide these features. Also available are power-opening doors, leather upholstery, rear DVD screen, Bluetooth and more. The Luxgen7 SUV is powered by a turbocharged-and-intercooled 2.2-litre DOHC 4-cylinder engine, mated to either a 5-speed manual or a 5-speed automatic transmission. To improve driving feel, the steering system was tuned by Delphi, noise suppression engineering was handled by LMS, the suspension system was developed by Magna, and the overall chassis tuning was done by both Magna and Prodrive.

The car is known for its appearance in Black & White: Dawn of Assault and its sequel.
