Lifan Xuanlang
This is new photos of the Lifan Xuanlang MPV, a clone of the Ford
S-Max like there is no other. Even the alloys are very Ford-like! The Lifan Xuanlang will debut on the Guangzhou
Auto Show later this month and launch on the Chinese car market in March.
Instrument panel with two very large pods with a
shiny ring on them. Screen is mid-sized and it doesn’t seem to be a touch
screen.
The Xuanlaong will cost between 80.000 and 110.000
yuan. It will seat seven in a 2/3/2 setup. There will be three engines
available: 1.5 turbo, 1.8, and a 2.0. The 1.5 turbo will be mated to a
five-speed manual or an 8-speed automatic, the 1.8 and 2.0 to a five-speed
manual or five-speed automatic.
Lifan is a small Chinese automaker, and they are
normally decent enough. They make a range of nice but uninspiring sedans, MPVs,
and a small SUV. A larger SUV that looks a bit too much like a Toyota hasn’t made
it to the market yet.
