Lifan 520i Tested by UK Magazine, Auto Express

Auto Express writers appear to be the luckiest of all, paid trips to China to drive around in cars! Theres a job we would like, or do we already have that job?The AutoExpress article mentions that the Lifan 520 is based off ancient Citroen ZX underpinnings, whilst China Car Times is unsure if this true or not, we only found one Citroen fan club website that says it is illegally based.

There’s no doubt that China is serious about developing its car industry. Despite the shocking performance of the Brilliance BS6 in crash tests, and controversy over some of the country’s copycat designs, manufacturers are determined to steal sales abroad.
The latest offering is the first four-wheeler from motorcycle maker Lifan. Called the 520i, it aims to deliver family hatch space at a supermini price.
Behind the modern-looking wraparound headlamps and bold chrome grille lurks the chassis of a Citroen ZX – a car that dates back to 1991! As a result, the model has an old-fashioned stance with a narrow track, low waist- line and small wheels. Bosses say the structure has been strengthened to improve accident performance, while driver and passenger airbags are fitted.
The cabin is totally reworked and nothing is carried over from the ZX. But despite the fresh new look, it is full of hard shiny plastic and poorly screwed together. There is a decent amount of space though, with easily enough room for five adults.
The most up-to-date feature is the 115bhp 1.6-litre engine. Taken from the last-generation MINI, the smooth-revving unit provides the Lifan with punchy performance. But the sporty sounding engine is at odds with the soft and supple ride. Add in the over-light steering and it is clear the 520i is more at home cruising the motorway than blasting down back roads.
But the trump card is the five-year, 60,000-mile warranty, which combines with the £8,500 price to make the car a bit of a bargain. If safety is up to scratch, the 520i could be a surprise hit with families on a tight budget.

China Car Times wonders where Auto Express get the 8,500 GBP price tag from? The Lifan 520i costs from 50,000rmb to 70,000rmb. Even the top, 70,000rmb model of the 520i works out to just less than 5,000GBP.

السيارات عبر عن الكتاب على ما يبدو الأوفر حظا للجميع، والرحلات التي تدفع للصين التي يتجولون في سيارات! ثيريس على وظيفة نود، أو هل لدينا بالفعل أن وظيفة؟ المقال AutoExpress يذكر أن يستند إليها ليفان 520 من الأسس القديمة ZX سيتروين، في حين تايمز سيارة الصين غير متأكد إذا كان لنا أن هذا صحيحا أم لا، وجدت واحدة فقط سيتروين مروحة النادي شبكة الانترنت التي تقول انها تقوم بشكل غير قانوني.

ليس هناك شك في أن الصين هي جادة في تطوير صناعة السيارات. على الرغم من الأداء المذهل من جانب تألق BS6 في اختبارات التصادم، والجدل الدائر حول بعض من التصاميم المقلدة في البلاد، وتحدد الشركات المصنعة لسرقة مبيعات في الخارج.
أحدث عرض هو الأول من أربعة عجلات من صانع ليفان دراجة نارية. دعا 520i، وتهدف إلى تقديم عائلة مساحة فتحة بسعر سوبيرميني.
وراء المصابيح الأمامية ملفوف الحديثة ذات مظهر وجريئة الكروم مصبغة يتربص هيكل السيارة من ZX سيتروين - السيارة التي يعود تاريخها إلى عام 1991! ونتيجة لذلك، فإن النموذج لديه موقف من الطراز القديم مع مسار ضيق، وانخفاض خط الخصر وعجلات صغيرة. ويقول زعماء تم تعزيز هيكل لتحسين الأداء حادث، في حين يتم تجهيز أكياس هوائية للسائق والراكب.
وأعيدت صياغتها تماما المقصورة ويتم تنفيذ أي شيء أكثر من ZX. لكن على الرغم من نظرة جديدة طازجة، هو كامل من البلاستيك لامعة الجاد وثمل سيئة معا. هناك مبلغ محترم من الفضاء على الرغم من، مع ما يكفي من الغرفة بسهولة لخمسة بالغين.
ومعظم ما يصل إلى تاريخ ميزة هي 115bhp محرك 1.6 ليتر. مأخوذة من MINI في آخر لجيل، وعلى نحو سلس وحدة التسريع يوفر ليفان مع أداء punchy. ولكن محرك رياضي السبر هو على خلاف مع ركوب ناعمة ونضرة. إضافة في توجيه أكثر من الضوء، ومن الواضح أن 520i هو أكثر في المنزل تجوب الطريق السريع من نسف أسفل الطرق الخلفية.
لكن ورقة رابحة هي خمس سنوات، 60000 ميل الضمان، والذي يجمع بين مع سعر 8500 جنيه استرليني لجعل السيارة قليلا من صفقة. إذا سلامة هو ما يصل الى الصفر، ويمكن أن تكون مفاجأة 520i ضرب مع العائلات على ميزانية ضيقة.

الصين سيارة تايمز تتساءل أين السيارات عبر عن الحصول على سعر الجنيه الاسترليني 8500 علامة من؟ ليفان 520i التكاليف من 50000 يوان إلى 70000 يوان. حتى القمة، 70000 نموذج يوان من 520i يعمل بها فقط أقل من 5000 جنيها استرلينيا.
