BMW 5 Series review: G30 sets a new executive car standard
On paper, the Lifan offers much With a price of about 8,500, plenty of space and good equipment, it will appeal to those on a budget Add in the excellent powertrain and cosseting ride and the car is one of China best offers, but the 520i is essentially a design 17, and its protection of the accident must be questioned following.
There is no doubt that China is serious about developing its automotive industry Despite the shocking performance of the BS6 Brilliance in crash tests, and the controversy about some of the designs copycat of the country, manufacturers are determined to steal sales to abroad.
The latest offering is the first four-wheeled vehicle of Lifan motorcycle manufacturer called the 520i, it aims to offer a family hatch space for a supermini price.
Behind the wraparound headlights modern looking and bold chrome grille hides the frame of a Citroen ZX car dating back to 1991 As a result, the model has an old position with a narrow track, bass line and small waist- Bosses wheels say the structure was reinforced to improve crash performance, while driver and passenger airbags are fitted.
The cabin is completely reworked and nothing is above the ZX But despite the new look, it's full of hard shiny plastic and badly screwed There is a decent amount of space well, with easily enough for five adults .
The most updated feature is the 115bhp engine 1 of 6 liters Taken from the latest MINI mounted unit plan provides smooth Lifan with punchy performance, but the sports sound engine disagrees with soft and supple ride Add in the direction of the light and it is clear that the 520i is more at home cruising the highway blasting down side roads.
But the trump card is five years, guaranteed 60,000-mile, which combines with the 8500 price to make the car a bit of a bargain If security is zero, the 520i could be a surprise hit with families on a tight budget .
8500 EST price engine 1 6 liter 4-cylinder Power 115bhp torque 149Nm manual transmission five-speed FWD 0-62mph 10 5 seconds 115 mph Equipment High Speed Power windows and mirrors, ABS, CD player, two inflatable cushions, central locking distance, alloys, sat-nav, parking sensors.
