History

The prototype Model B was shown at Hon Hai Tech Day on October 18, 2022; contemporary press coverage focused on its design, which was subcontracted to the Italian design studio Pininfarina.^[3][4] Initial speculation compared the Model B to the Volkswagen ID.3, but the prototype was approximately the same size and targeted the same market segment as the Honda HR-V and Mazda CX-30.^[2]

An updated version was shown one year later;^[5] Foxtron confirmed the Model B would enter production,^[6] possibly to be marketed by Luxgen in Taiwan as the Luxgen n5.^[1] Luxgen filed for a trademark on 'n5' in 2023.^[7] The vehicle was expected to start production in 2023 at an unspecified factory in China and in 2024 at Lordstown Assembly in the United States.^[8]

The range for a planned long-range version is estimated to exceed 500 km (310 mi) on the New European Driving Cycle. It is expected to be offered either as a single-motor, rear-wheel-drive vehicle or a dual-motor, all-wheel-drive version.^[5] It shares its basic platform and drivetrain components with the Luxgen n7; the single-motor version is expected to have the same maximum output of 230 hp (170 kW; 230 PS) and traction battery with 60 kW-hr capacity,^[1] offering a maximum range of 450 km (280 mi), NEDC.^[2]
