The Lifan 820 is another car from a well-known Chinese manufacturer. This concern has recently begun to very often produce various new items, and most of them are exported to Russia. In this model, new design features and advanced technology are clearly visible.
Exterior
The first thing worth noting is the appearance of the model. The designers, having designed the Lifan 820, made every effort to add to its image similarities with eminent cars from BMW, Audi and Lexus. People like beautiful cars, because the designers decided to try to make the Chinese novelty attract attention. Well, let something clearly be copied - the concern itself does not hide it. Yes, and I must admit - “Lifan” never did explicit plagiarism. Everything is reasonable and reasonable.
The silhouette was very expressive. If you pay attention to the front part, you can see how it looks like the iconic “Audi R8”. The shape of the optics is almost identical. True, the clearance of “Lifan” more, because of which he loses the unique sportiness that is inherent in Audi. And in general, the car is already a German sports car. They also tried to repeat the radiator grill, but it didn’t come out very much - well, what, no personality. True, it still looks good, very harmonious.
Specifications
Lifan 820 can please a small variety of engines. In general, a wide range of various technical proposals is already a classic, so to speak, if we are talking about a Chinese concern. And this cannot but rejoice.
So what can surprise the Lifan 820? He has good technical specifications - take, for example, the base 1.8-liter 133-horsepower engine. He is already familiar to many by the car known as the X60. Yes, and on some other machines of the concern it was installed.
Still potential buyers are offered a 2.4-liter power unit producing 160 horsepower. There is also a two-liter turbocharged engine in the lineup. It produces as many as 210 horses - not bad for China!
What about gearboxes? It offers either the familiar standard in the form of 5-speed mechanics or a 6-speed automatic transmission.
Equipment
The manufacturer created this car in order to please potential buyers with a high level of security. Actually, he succeeded - on the C-NCAP test, the car received five stars. So the manufacturer took a definite step forward. The body is made of high strength steel - it is also pleasing. The interior equipment is not bad - the steering column is safety, there are also side and front airbags and active head restraints. Top models also boast safety blinds. Plus, it was decided to add a set of electronic assistants.
In the basic configuration, the car received an extended power package and, in addition to it, an entertainment multimedia system, cruise control, air conditioning and adjustable front seats. The top model is distinguished by parkronic, sunroof (panoramic), dual-zone climate control and a rear view camera. So, in terms of configuration, the car is not bad - in any case, basic options for creating comfort are available.
What do the experts say?
Of course, the Lifan 820 sedan received a lot of controversial reviews. In particular, from Russian critics. And despite the fact that the company “Lifan” attracted professional specialists in the field of mechanical engineering, they could not make the ideal transport.
The cost of the car is 18 thousand dollars. At the current rate, it is 1,285,000 rubles. And all Russians rightly believe that the price is clearly too high. Our people are not ready to pay such an amount for a Chinese car with the proposed characteristics. For the sake of comparison: for the same money you can buy in excellent condition a Mercedes E-Class 2009 release with a 170-horsepower engine or BMW X5 with an engine for 235 horses and the maximum configuration.
So this price is indecently high. There are too many flaws in the cabin of the Lifan 820 - this is first. The materials used in the decoration do not shine with quality (also savings from the manufacturer). The layout and assembly also show flaws, judging by the test drives. And there is no uniqueness in this car. So the price needs to be reduced - and then, maybe, there will be a demand. These are the critics and experts who leave reviews about the Lifan 820 car.
