Lifan X80 will hit the Chinese car
market on March 26. Lifan celebrates the impending launch by releasing a
bunch of crappy photoshops, showing off a brand new logo. The new logo is a
simple black badge with the word Lifan in a silver font.
The X80 is the
new flagship of the brand and the largest Lifan passenger car ever with 4820/1934/1760 mm, and wheelbase is 2790 mm. The X80 will be powered by a
Lifan-developed 2.0 liter turbocharged petrol engine with 197 hp and 286 Nm,
mated to a six-speed automatic transmission.
On the inside you can see that
the vehicle has been under development for very long. It looks like 2015 in
here and not like 2017. There are shiploads of buttons all over the place, the
screen is tiny, and there are large swaths of ugly black plastics. But the
plastic wood is good, and the instrument panel looks
brilliant, with flashy computer-game style dials. Graphics seem very sharp.
