New Concept Car: Lumeneo Neoma EV



If you made it out to the Geneva Motor Show earlier this year, you may have seen the Lumeneo Smera electric vehicle. Shortly after debuting the production version of its first model, the company now has a new concept to show at Paris later this month, the Neoma.

The Smera, as you may know, is a tandem two-seater that leans into curves much like Nissan's Land Glider concept. Like the Nissan, the Smera (bottom left) is battery powered with a range of about 90 miles. Power comes from a 10 kWh battery pack and drives a 42-horsepower/30 kW electric motor that can propel the vehicle to a top speed of about 80 mph, hitting 60 mph in 8 seconds flat. It's scheduled to go on sale in Paris later this year before expanding into other major European cities where its tiny footprint will be most advantageous. Pricing will reportedly begin around 29,500 euro before any government incentives.

The Neoma concept appears to be, for all intents and purposes, a widened Smera. Making the vehicle half again as large has opened up space for four passengers while keeping the Smera's short 98-inch length and 59-inch height. Even at 63 inches wide, the Neoma is by no means a large car, but by locating the battery under the front seats, Lumeneo says there's plenty of space inside for four passengers, provided they don't bring any cargo with them. Being that the Neoma appears to be a double-wide Smera, we expect the technical specifications will be similar as well, but the company hasn't confirmed them yet. Pricing is also unknown at this point.
