2015 turned out to be quite deplorable for the sales of Lifan cars, due to the crisis, sales of cars fell sharply by as much as 50%, and the release of a new item, the Lifan 820 model, was also postponed. At the beginning of 2015, about 5,000 Lifan cars were produced at the Derways automobile plant.

In mid-July 2015, in the city of Lipetsk, Lifan is planning to organize the construction of an automobile plant of its own brand Lifan, and its launch is planned for mid-2017.

O the meaning of the word Lifan, as well as tell (about the badge (sign), emblem, logo) Lifan

The history of the Chinese car manufacturer, Lifan, is no different from some of the other car factories in China. And it should be noted that this story is not very long, but quite successful for itself.

This, by the way, is facilitated by the meaning of the word, which in translation into Russian means howSailing.

Sign Lifan is fraught with stylized depictions of three sailboats that sail in full sails, as well as the Lifan emblem can be represented as three letters "L", it is understandable Lifan is in full sail, about here and the translation of the logo.

About the history of cars Lifan with photo

The history of the Lifan auto (Lifan) began in 1992 with the production of motorcycles, trucks and buses. The company was founded
businessman Yin Mingshan, who originally located production in Chongqing. Initially, the company faced a lot of difficulties, since it did not have modern technologies and equipment in its arsenal.equipment. Until 2005, the company did not have production facilities for the assembly of passenger cars in its arsenal. But it was in this year that the company linked its further plans with the Japanese company Mazda, and this fruitful cooperation led the Lifan car to its further successful development.
The first export deliveries of passenger cars began in 1956, when deliveries of the Lifan 520, also known as the Lifan Breeze, began to the markets of Mexico and Kazakhstan. It was a car with ordinary consumer qualities, but it was successfully sold due to its affordability.

With this, dosquite a pretty model in the sedan body, the company bravely entered Russia in 2007, for which the ground clearance was specially increased by 3 cm. Having tested the market, Chinese businessmen invested in the construction of a large assembly plant inCherkessk. This enterprise was intended for the production of up to 50 thousand vehicles per year, while occupying an area for production buildings of 21 square kilometers. The company received the name Derways, and it was thanks to this plant that the geography of car supplies began to expand. Auto Lifan appeared in South Africa, Venezuela.

In 2008, the Chinese manufacturer entered into an agreement with the American company AIG, Inc,which meant further her
joint cooperation. And already in 2009, the Lifan company was awarded by the country's leadership, having received an important award"National card", which is awarded only in case of recognition of a significant contribution toeconomic model of the country.
The company's success can be traced back to significant events that are tracked in Lifan's history. For example, it is one of the few companies whose shares are publicly listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange. And the fact that says about 2005 Patents, both national and international,can indicate how active the survey activity is, how quickly production is developing.

Remarkable is the fact that on the Lifan carmotors are installed, which also received patented solutions. And specifically to resolve issues with the power equipment of a Lifan car, a subsidiary of Lifan Motors was created. But many consumers just note that Chinese cars do not have a rich selection of power units.
The gradual development of the company has led to the fact that we can already talk about 165 world markets, where the company was able to mark. And if at first these were the traditional markets of Asia, South America and Africa, then later cars of this brand passed the necessary certification procedures and are sold in 18 countries of Western Europe.
Lifan's lineup was gradually expanding. So in 2009 the city car model LIFAN Smily appeared, and in 2011 the first crossover LIFAN X60 was launched into production.

Active sales became possible thanks to more than 10,000 open showrooms around the world, and our own dealerships

centers successfully operate in more than 40 countries of the world.Service maintenance at dealerships is also developing. The production base is also growing. The geography of factories has already expanded to 7 countries. The main production of the company, as before, is the largest plant in the hometown of the company - Chongqing, which is not only the leader in terms of its area - about 65 thousand square meters, but also produces
annually about 150 thousand cars and another 200 thousand automobile engines. At the same time, the plant amazes not only with its size and manufactured products, but also with the scale of technical re-equipment, which took place in such a short time.

Another type of car Lifan began to be produced in 2010 at the plant in Shinsikou. Minivans are produced here. At the same time, the production is designed for an annual volume of 50 thousand copies. It should be noted that this car has an extraordinary design and some constructive solutions. This may indicate that the company has long since departed.and from any copying, andis engaged in full-cycle production.

In the Lifan company, it is customary to say that, despite all your achievements, you should not stop there. Even if the sales geography is quite extensive, nevertheless, you need to strive to improve the efficiency of youractivities. Cars of this brand have an excellent combination in the ratio "price - consumer properties - quality".But a very strong competition for a place in the sun in the automotive market pushes Lifan cars on an innovative path in their development.

On the other hand, direct investment may not bring a decent return if it does not take care of training worthy personnel. And this is also an important link for the company. Therefore, the company strives to provide a decent education not only to future workers, but also simply to help poor children in getting an education. This investment does not pay off so soon, but it giveshope for a sustainable future.

By the fall of 2010, cars Lifan Solano "Lifan Solano" and Lifan Breez "Lifan Breeze" began to be equipped with an automatic transmission - a variator.

A car in our time is no longer a luxury, but the most common means of transportation. The main criterion when choosing a vehicle, of course, is the optimal ratio of price and quality. And in order not to miscalculate, you need to correctly prioritize. Everything in the world is constantly changing, and many still have a preconceived notion about the Chinese car industry, although Lifan Breeze reviews often say otherwise. But you don't need to be so categorical. It is worth remembering that the same negative opinion was once about Korean cars. However, at present, Korean cars are in rather good demand and are widely represented on the world market. That is why this article will provide an overview of the Lifan Breeze, a Chinese-made car.

Lifan Breeze is a worthy representative of the Chinese car industry. The Lifan Breeze, also known as the Lifan 520, is a vehicle from the Chinese manufacturer Lifan Industry Group Co. Ltd. This vehicle has been produced in Russia, in Cherkessk at the Derways plant since 2008. Lifan Breez is produced in two modifications -. In terms of its dimensions, the car can be noted as an interclass model. According to the European classification, it can be located between classes B and C. For consumers, such a model is associated with a budget small class sedan. Lifan is a relatively young brand with Chinese roots and presenting its products on the world market. Until 2005, this manufacturer produced only motorcycles and scooters. The company's first car was presented to consumers in 2007. And it was Lifan Breeze.

There are two modifications of the Lifan Breeze - a hatchback and a sedan.

Also, consumers of Chinese cars in most cases are attracted by the price. No vehicle manufacturer in the world can compete with the prices of Chinese car companies. To what extent the Lifan 520 and how the Chinese manufacturer is trying to attract consumers to its side, the Lifan Breez review will show.

Interior design and features

The appearance of the car cannot be called particularly attractive, but it cannot be called repulsive either. There is a certain elegance inherent in the first Korean cars. There is also some similarity with some BMW models. In general, Chinese manufacturers do not hesitate to use certain points of stylistic design that have already been used in new models of well-known world car brands. It is believed that experts from the Mazda concern took part in the development of the Breeze design. The car has large transparent headlights, the radiator grille has a chrome rim, and the bonnet covers the bumper. Everything is done in accordance with fashion trends. As for the brake lights, they have a brighter light thanks to the chrome rim. An interesting point can be called the repeaters of turns mounted in the side mirrors.

The interior of the car is quite high quality. This design solution is pleasing to the eye and is very practical:

Dark;
Clear fit of parts;
Ample back space.

Along with the positive aspects of the interior, there are, of course, a number of shortcomings. These include not the elasticity and elasticity of the fabric, which. Not a very comfortable profile of the front seats, as well as a strong chemical unpleasant smell of plastic, which is characteristic of all Chinese cars. At first glance, the strong grouping of the pedals is unusual. However, later you get used to this format and it seems that everything is normal.

The body of the Lifan 520 has the following dimensions: 4370x1700x1473. The vehicle's ground clearance is 155 mm. The car is the owner of a fairly roomy volume - 630 liters. The rims are made of steel and are 14 inches in size. Of course, alloy wheels are also available for demanding motorists, but so far only in the most expensive configuration. There are 4 vehicle configurations in total. All of them have full power accessories, central locking, air conditioning and a full-size "spare wheel". Continuing to consider the technical characteristics of Lifan Breez, it is worth noting that you can purchase a car with both 1.3-liter and 1.6-liter engines. Engine power ranges from 89 to 106 horsepower. It depends on the working volume of the motor.

All engines have 16 valves and are modern, powerful and reliable. Lifan Breez is a front wheel drive vehicle. is up to 7.5 liters in urban driving conditions. The suspension of this vehicle is quite reliable and does not cause fears even when driving on poor road surfaces. The car behaves confidently on bumps and turns out very little roll. Lifan 520 is always on sale, so there will be no problems with this. The cost of the car varies between 280-350 thousand rubles. The exact price of Lifan Breeze depends directly on the vehicle configuration.

Test Drive

For the test drive, 5 days were allotted. This is quite enough to get to know the car as closely as possible. The first impression, of course, is pleasant: the price is more than affordable, the design is quite attractive. But immediately after entering the salon, it becomes clear that the car was made in China. This smell of cheap plastic cannot be confused with anything. When the glance slides around the cabin, it becomes clear that the dashboard and door trim are made from the cheapest materials. There is simply no fixation of the front seat head restraints. The position of the front seats is also not regulated.

Test Drive Lifan Breeze:

As for the first impression of movement, then all external sounds are audible quite strongly. When the car is driving, it emits a lot of creaking sounds. The suspension creaks under strong braking, the power steering creaks strongly, and the front doors creak when opening and closing. A big plus of the Lifan Breeze is a fairly roomy trunk. If the rear seat is folded down completely, it creates just a huge space with a flat, level floor.

For a test drive, Lifan Breeze 2013 got a car with a strong engine, in which 116 horsepower. The car accelerated quickly enough and the suspension behaved flawlessly, except for the occasional squeaks. In general, the Lifan 520 is not so bad for a budget car. The ground clearance is large enough - 180 mm. Not so long ago, manufacturers have made certain changes to the Breeze. Better materials have been used, and the driver and front passenger now have airbags. The instrument panel has acquired a more strict geometric shape. It is also planned to change the seats, in the most expensive versions they plan to make them leather.

Consumer reviews

No wonder they say that how many people, so many opinions. Once again, you can be convinced of this by reading the reviews of Lifan Breez. Consumers speak positively and negatively about the car, as well as about any other car.

Lifan Breez crash test:

In general, the picture is such that consumers consider this car quite decent for. As an advantage, many Lifan Breeze owners noted a roomy trunk, optimal fuel consumption and good engine performance. The disadvantage that almost all drivers have pointed out is the terrible soundproofing. At high speed, they compare the noise of a car, almost to the hum of an airplane. The Chinese, of course, are responding to criticism by making improvements to the car, but the materials used in the interior trim still leave a lot to be desired. Some drivers noted an uncomfortably low clearance, but it has already been increased to 180 mm, which is quite enough. Also, a large number of drivers are annoyed by the creak that is heard everywhere when the car is moving. Someone even said that the impression is that the car will simply take and fall apart.

As a result, we can conclude that the Lifan Breeze car is a fairly good budget option. For this price, the car has enough power, a roomy trunk and an attractive design. Perhaps someday this model will be thoroughly finalized by Chinese manufacturers, especially since so far they have a fairly correct reaction to criticism. They immediately try to fix Lifan Breez's shortcomings.
