Lifan X80 2017 will push Toyota Highlander?
New Chinese SUV 2017-2018 added a new Lifan X80 (X80 Lifan in a new body). In the review of photos and videos, the price and full technical specifications of Lifan 2017-2018 model year. The new 7-seat crossover Lifan X 80 is officially presented at the auto show, Auto Show in Guangzhou on November 21, 2016. The sale of Lifan X80, equipped with a 2.0 turbocharged gasoline (192 hp) engine, will start in China in the first quarter of 2017, the price of an SUV, according to preliminary information will be 120-160 million yuan (1132-1510 thousand conventional units).
I hope that next spring the full-size 7-seater SUV Lifan X80 will appear and recently. The novelty has many advantages and a reasonable pricing policy can be a real bestseller in the class of full-size SUVs not only in China, but also in the current market.
I want to note right away that in China, the new model from Lifan X80, local automotive journalists immediately dubbed the “Toyota Highlander killer”. A Japanese SUV (albeit with a more powerful 220-horsepower 2.0-liter turbocharged engine) in China is much more expensive than 239800-330800 yuan (2262-3120 thousand conventional units). So the price difference on the Chinese side of the news. The new Lifan X80 shows a fairly modern body design, a stylish and high-quality interior with a solid set of equipment, advanced technical stuffing with a turbocharged engine, a 6-speed gearbox (manual and automatic), front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive 4-wheel drive, fully independent architecture suspension.
Outwardly, perhaps, the new Lifan X80 is somewhat similar to the Japanese competitor. But in general, the body shows a Chinese brand SUV, one might even say, family traits inherent in cars manufactured by Lifan Motors.
The front end looks bright and solid. In the presence of stylish xenon headlights, a rich false radiator grille with horizontal stripes and a large Lifan badge, a massive bumper with LED sections, daytime running lights and fog lights with a solid plastic protective body kit.
On the side of the body, the large, nearly 5-meter-long crossover demonstrates an athletic build: a long hood, large wheel arches cut out, large side doors with a high window sill line rising aft, a compact, stylish glass with charismatic ribs extending above the rear door handles.
The rear of the body may not be a masterpiece of design, but also strong and attractive: large lamps with LED content, a correct tailgate with compact glass, a powerful bumper with a stylish fit into his body in the lines of the exhaust nozzles.
- The external dimensions of the Lifan X80 body in 2017-2018 are 4820 mm long, 1930 mm wide and 1760 mm high, wheelbase 2790 mm and 220 mm clearance.
- The large Chinese SUV is completed with only 19-inch alloy wheels with 245/55 R19 tires.
Also, of course, the obligatory attributes of large SUVs: side steps and a plastic body kit that protects the lower elements and body parts from minor damage.
