Chinese manufacturers do not stand still and produce more and more new cars with enviable regularity. And for some reason, their innovations are much more attractive, at least outwardly than New AvtoVAZ. And if you still adjust cases with the quality of the assembly on the Dervey, then the machines would be the first to the ratio of price-quality. Well, while there is something that is ...

The new crossover Lifan X60 personally does not remind anyone to me, and in general it is possible to bring a lot of examples of other brands similar to each other. Large minus Lifan is that it is a front-wheel drive rose. Initially, he was planned as an SUV, but the four-wheel drive would make the car much more expensive. And the Chinese rightly decided that while they were not pulled out competition in the SUV segment.

Dear buy Chinese cars Few people will be preference will give to more well-known brands in the same price category. So decided they were cheap and beautiful.

Well, it turned out a very pretty car for moving around the city roads and tracks. The small volume of the trunk can be compensated for by the installation on the turret of the streamlined trunk. Realies under him already have.

Well, now closer to the body. Let's look at some characteristics of the new Lifanchik X60.

Engine

The motor of this PARTNER was called LFB479Q. But in essence it is a copy of Toyotovsky 1ZZ-FE. Engine volume 1.8 and it is equipped with a continuous -i system. Like Japanese, this motor is long-spent, which allows you to develop a good craving on small crankshaft. The diameter of the cylinder is 79 mm and the stroke of the piston is 91.5 mm.

But the engine is still different from Emgrand. On x60, it has an electronic gas pedal, and on the Emgrand, the engine 1.8 is equipped with a cable drive.

Video on the topic: Test drive Lifan X60

The ignition coils on the Sixtieth are individual for each cylinder, which, however, in my opinion, no tangible benefit does not give, but only leads to the rise in the cost of the entire design.

Well, I immediately foresee the question: where is the thermostat on the Lifan X60? Not at the very familiar place it is located. It is at the location of the thermostat that the coolant comes from the radiator to the engine. Here are two photos, so that it becomes clear where the thermostat is located.

Transmission

Gearbox in X60 mechanical 5-speed. Clutch one-piece with hydraulic drive. Possible clutch malfunctions. The vibration of the clutch may be due to non-uniform pressed disc, the slot disk slip. Also, the grip will be vibrated when the disk is grinding or loosening the tightening of the clutch crankcase.

Noise MCPP

1. Activity or poor oil quality

2. Bearing or damage to bearings

3.Inmit or damage gears gears

4. Prohibitions of the synchronizer.

Installing labels on the timing chain when replacing it with a Lifan X60 engine

Below in the photo perfectly can be seen how you need to set timing tags when replacing the chain.

Lifan X60 is quite cute in the appearance of the crossover. Is it good in operation? You will tell you about the reviews of the owners of this car.

In addition, there are two airbags in the car, all four windows with an automatic closer (activated by a long pressing of the closing button on the keychain). The automatic switching on the light is also implemented upon the occurrence of darkness. Now it is not relevant, so invented to do this: the light sensor is closed with a scotch, and the subwoofer is put in the auto position. Now the Middle Light will be turned on when the ignition is turned on and go out after 30 seconds after it is turned off.

The car is equipped with a regular security system. She reacts to the opening of the door, though there is no hood and trunk sensor. But there is a remote opening button on a regular key.

Maximum speed Specified 170 km / hour Acceleration up to 100 km More than 14 seconds Fuel consumption In a mixed cycle of 8.2 liters per 100 km. In fact, it is slightly higher due to the constant problems and improper operation of the oxygen sensor. Curb weight 1330 kilogram. This is a mass of a car in a curb state, that is, with all fluids, consumables, but without a driver and passengers. Maximum allowed mass 1705 kg. This is the permissible maximum loading of the crossover, that is, weight with cargo, driver and passengers allowed by the manufacturer.

Characteristics Lifan X60 - Engine

Engine called name LFB479Q. This is a four-cylinder engine with a working volume of 1.8 liters. Engine power 132 hp at 6000 revolutions per minute. 16-valve motor with chain drive timing. Equipped with VVT-I. Torque 168НМ / 4200 rpm That is, at 4200 turns, the engine has the best pickup.

Problems with the engine happen ... There are stuffs in the engines of some machines. The case is inappropriate, about 2-3 engines per hundred cars. Guarantees change the entire motor assembly. The plant is constantly working on improving the design, so to speak "learn errors."

Lifan X60 Transmission Characteristics

One-piece clutch mechanical, hydraulic clutch drive. This means that there is no clutch cable and disc clutch is carried out using hydraulic cylinders. Filled in brake fluid. Change the main clutch cylinder is a bit uncomfortable, it is in a hard-to-reach place and connected to. Gearbox on x60 Mechanical five-speed. Actually, nothing special, the rear transmission of the synchronizer does not have, therefore it turns on with a small impetus.

Chassis Chassis Lifun X60

Blind-free low-profile tires are installed on the lifan. Tire pressure 290 kPa. It is worth noting that the tires with a high profile look at the car much better. Landing diameter of 16 inches tires. Size 215 x 65 That is, the height of the sidewall is 65% of the width of the tire (215 mm). Front suspension type MAK Fersson: Rear suspension multi-dimensional independent. Such suspension is much softer swallows the irregularities of the road.

Lifan X60 steering characteristics

Steering on x60 Rush with. Small problems with the hydraulic fluid on the Lifan are noticed, namely, the GUR tube is spinning. The fault is eliminated under warranty and at the moment, possibly the factory has already changed the design of the tube itself or the system, to avoid further consultations of citizens. The steering wheel is adjusted only in height and then, in my opinion, not enough.

Lifan X60 Brake System Characteristics

The brake system on the Lifan is a double-circuit with a vacuum brake amplifier. Equipped with ABS with EBD rear wheel adjustment feature. Front and rear brakes disc, and for parking brakes there are separate pads, but already in the drum.

The production of Chinese cars is now in full swing, which eloquently speaks an increase in the volume of machine sales and the constant expansion of the model range. Therefore, in Moscow, Russian motorists demonstrated a new Lifan X60 crossover with an anterior drive, which will be gathering in the city of Cherkessk at the Derways factory.

This SUV is one of the most implemented Chinese production machines in the Russian market. But everyone understands that the automotive market is not worth it today, and to keep their own positions to companies have to update their cars. It did not go around the crossover from the Middle Kingdom. Restyling touched the appearance and interior, new equipment and a new gearbox. The entire lineup of the Lifan.

History of car

The Lifan Chinese Automobile Corporation formed in 1992. The company has been engaged in the release of sedans, hatchbacks and microtans for a decade, the appearance of which was often copied with popular Japanese production cars.

When the second decade of 21st centuries began, the company's management decided to increase its own model range using a crossover. As the basis, the 3rd series was taken, which was very loved by Chinese automakers. As an example, you can remind you of its clone.

The designer composition of the firm has changed the appearance of the exterior. The conceptual version was demonstrated in 2010 on the Shanghai Automobile Salon. In fairness it is worth noting that the Chinese model will correctly call the "wagon with an increased road lumen", because the versatility is more in it than resources for the development of off-road.

However, in reality, this is a "SUV CD", which, according to the technical part, read the "illegal copy" of Toyota.

Exterior

If literally for the first time look at Lifan X60, then without much difficulty you can see similar qualities with a well-known crossover from Japan Toyota RAV4. And this is exactly the case, because the appearance of the Japanese and his body form quite strongly liked the design composition from China.

In addition, not only Lifan decided to use the Toyota as an example, and for example, Chery. However, in contrast to Cherie Tiggo, in the external image of the Lifan X60 crossover, the qualities inherent in American and Korean cars are traced. If we talk in general, then the exterior of the car will not be able to call the repulsive, but you will not call it unique too.

The arches of the wheels turned out to be rather relief and provide a crossover with solidity and athletic qualities. The headlights of the vehicle have additional settings, with which an excellent visibility increases. Chrome radiator grille narrows slightly and looks quite effectively together with a piercing optical lighting system.

It is very strange that at the usual place of installation of the fog, there is auxiliary block of lighting devices, while fog lights are located below all. This action cannot be called successful, because there is no additional plastic protection against chipping on the body.

It is logical that with active ride on gravel it will be possible to find various paintwork defects, which is very minimal. The side mirrors of the rear visibility have a big form and do not require auxiliary settings when changing a person who controls the machine.

The aft part of the car Lifan X60 successfully looks due to the light-wave optics, which is mounted by the LED, forming a trapezium, system. If you carefully consider the machine, then you can see the skewed body parts, which the different thickness of the gaps is spoken by eloquently.

The exterior of the Chinese SUV has tendencies that are on the production of crossovers. The car differs even from its "relatives" presence of streamlining and swelling.

Interior

The interior of an inexpensive SUV has a moderate comfortable accommodation of 5 people, which includes the driver. The instrument panel consists of three deep wells and is not highlighted by its informative. The panel installed ahead has two levels and a massive central console, on which simple music and handles setting the ventilation and heating system.

If we talk about the materials of the finishing and quality assembly of the interior, then each person will have a different opinion. For example, if you transfer to the Chinese crossover Lifan X60 with VAZ 2106, the chauffeur simply does not fade, and if the driver sees from the same Toyota Railway SUV4, then will find many elements already known to him in the Lifan salon, but these items will be made already with completely different quality which is inherent in chinese assemblies.

It is worth mentioning that being in the cabin of the car, there is a smell of cheap plastic, although not phenolic, but still. It is also worth mentioning nonwesters due to the presence of bad door seals from rubber, about bad sound insulation of the interior and engine department, assembly shortcomings - all this is present in normal order.

The minimum distance between the pedals that was installed with a rather small drop leads to a risky control of the machine. If we talk about flaws, then the player for the chauffeur has a rather small volume and is often capable of opening without a reason.

Three passengers who are sitting on the back chairs, feel free space and convenient location. Interestingly, the back of the second row of seats has an adjustment of the angle of inclination. Very surprised the stock of free space in the legs of passengers - as if you are in a large sedan.

Even tall passengers will be quite comfortable to sit, and the knees will not feel discomfort. A pleasant detail will be for the passengers sitting behind - adjustment over the angle of tilt seats and armrest.

If you feel behind the steering wheel of the car, then, unfortunately, you feel that there is no due side support, although the seats are quite comfortable, but it is not possible to sit in relation to the Baranka. In stock There is a good set of settings for seats, which will allow you to choose the required landing, but the fact that there are no steering settings, a little worsen impressions.

The interior skin finish is also not a trump card of this car. If you look at the machine panel installed in front, then you understand that I have already seen it somewhere - again Toyota Rail4. Although the Chinese again copied the salon of the famous crossover, but to say that it is a full copy of the copier, it is impossible.

Designers still managed to show fantasy slightly and add some of his moments. What is just the front panel. I would like to say about the fifth door, in order to open and close, you need to make a great physical effort. The algorithm did not think over, open the door of the luggage compartment can be button from the inside or press the key on the key, and the outer handle is simply not provided.

The baggage compartment has at its disposal 405 liters, which is generally a rather good result. However, this is not all, if necessary, you can increase the useful place to 1,170 liters, depending on the position of the second row of the chairs. If you load the car under the ceiling, then you will have 1,638 liters. The features of the Lifan X60 engine are described below.

Specifications

Force aggregate

There is no choice of the power unit. This single engine at a volume of 1.8 liters gives 128 horsepower and can work on AI-92. It has four cylinders, 16 valves and changing phases of gas distribution. This engine was developed with the English engineers of Ricardo.

The engine complies with the European CO2 emissions standard - EURO-4. Just for this reason, the dynamic component of the Chinese production SUV leafan X60 is mediocre. The most significant disadvantage when moving is the beginning. Due to unsuccessful adjustment of the accelerator, constant stones occur at the start of the movement.

According to official representatives, the first hundred crossover overcomes in 11.2 seconds, but in reality this result is more than 3.3 seconds. The maximum speed was provided at the level of 170 km / h.

With low revolutions, the motor is almost not felt, it comes to life only when the rpm. The company officially announced fuel consumption per 100 km - 8.2 liters in combination mode. The Lifan X60 engine clearly needs refinement or new versions of the motor.

Transmission

Despite all his brutality, Lifan X60 has no proper off-road potential. The main culprit is only the presence of anterior wheel drive. On the automotive market of the Russian Federation only the front-wheel drive model is. The gearboxes are provided for two: five-speed manual box and stepless CVT variator. Gas pedal electronic.

Suspension

If we talk about the suspension, then the Chinese engineers used a McPherson rack ahead, and on the rear wheels, the multi-block system was tested. A shot down suspension works great with all sorts of disadvantages on the road.

When driving at a large, small shoes are transferred to the interior of the car. Although the car does not have a high road lumen, but when turning the car is a bit more cub.

Steering

But how functions the hydraulic steering wheel amplifier and the brake system is simply unpleasant. When turning the steering wheel, the wheels themselves are responding with a lot of intake, which leads to low informativeness and controlled machine.

Brake system

In order to effectively slow down, it is necessary to fully squeeze the brake pedal, which is not good. By the way, the brake system on this car is presented in the form of disk mechanisms on all wheels.

When this happens, a feeling appears, as if there are problems in the brake system. The warranty service is also greatly alarmed, the warranty service of the main nodes and the machines of the machine, which equals only 1 year or 30,000 km.

Gabarits.

The Chinese car off-road type Lifan X60 in length is 4 325 mm, in width - 1,790 mm, in height - 1,690 mm. The wheelbase is 2 600 mm, and the level of the road lumen is 179 mm, which, in principle, is not a good result, although it is also not bad, given the quality of our roads.

The car has a complete steel or alloy wheels with a size of 16 inches. Among the versions of the body painting there are six color variations. As a standard, the presence of white, and for painting with silver, gray, blue, cherry or black will be necessary to pay extra. Weigh leafan x60 1 330 kg.

Restyling Crossovers

The Chinese automotive company Lifan is probably the champion of all over the world's frequency of restyings of its own cars. It affected the popular front-wheel drive crossover X60, which only in the summer of 2015 suffered small changes that affected the appearance and technical execution.

Only a year later, the company released a new Lifan X60, which resulted in the exterior and the cabin. Interestingly, for the Russian market, the 2017 Model Year's cars began to sell already in December 2016.

Appearance

In fact, Lifan X60 2017 has not changed radically. The vehicle fell a replaced radiator grille and new bumper. However, thanks to this, the crossover now looks more modern and attractive. There are broken lines that added the appearance of the brutality parquet.

Lifan X60 has a fundamentally new face, small headlight headlights, where there are halogen elements of near light and non-changing fashion lines of daytime running lights. The headlights installed in front designed in agreement with the concept of Hawk-Eye (falconry).

The radiator lattice was replaced by a new one, where there is a large horizontal band in the middle. Just I found myself a signboard "Lifan". Below the big bumper with unusually installed neat "fonts" was placed. This time they were decided to establish, finally, higher.

On the side and in the middle of the parcktails were equipped with large air intakes. Interestingly, the new Chinese production almost completely repeats the facial part of its spacious "relatives" Lifan Myway, but, after all, the "Mord" came out more courageous and angular.

The side part has obvious changes in the form of external mirrors. By the way, on the mirrors, it was conveniently installed strips of repeaters of pointers that have become a bit thinner. Chinese specialists decided to expand the number of unique "rinks". Now, in addition to 16 and 17-inch wheels from the light alloy, alloy wheels are 18 inches.

Large front arches of the wheels are smoothly moving into a rounded bumper. Above the back also worked well by making it more sporting and crowing it with a pair of "Butaforsky" holes for the exhaust system nozzles. Also there are modified lanterns of "dimensions", which performed with the use of LEDs.

Salon

Inside the Chinese vehicle, a large list of works carried out, so the interior was transformed well. The salon has a full-fledgedly improved central console, which was placed on which a rather big color display of a multimedia system, designed for 8 inches, supporting touch control, updated air conditioner and audio settings modules.

Among the interior decoration of Lifan X60 2017, materials of improved quality are used. Many motorists will delight the presence of inserts that were performed under carbon. It can be clearly seen in the Lifan X60 photo.

The maximum performance of the machine received an interior finish with the introduction of combination skin, a color 8-inch touch control and support for the satellite navigation system and a rear camera. Did not forget about the air conditioning system, the function of heating the chairs and external mirrors installed in front, as well as the support of electrical adjustment.

In addition, the new model received all the required modernization, helpers and security systems that are present in any auto today. Before the driver, engineers have placed the original dashboard, where there is a LED backlight. It turns out that the bunk architecture of the torpedo was broken by an expressive console.

Dashboard

Devices, along with an audio system interface, are highlighted by a pleasant blue color. The multimedia system supports Bluetooth, and the settings button began to install on the knobs of the steering wheel. In general, the finish began to make improved quality plastic.

Already, the regular execution was obtained by ABS, a system of emergency distribution of brake efforts, two airbags adjustable in height of the steering column, the electric drive of the mirror, the function of the electric drive of the front and rear windows, the central lock and the light sensor.

As a separate option, the heating and microlift function is installed for the front armchairs, a parking sensor, a hatch with an electric drive, the back chamber, an assistant when starting up the mountain, climate control and upholstery of the interior of the skin with a dual massive line. The company declares that she worked well over noise insulation.

Price and configuration

It is clear that one of the most important features of Chinese cars is their cost. In the market of the Russian Federation, the car from the very beginning was offered with a pair of complete sets: regular "Basic" and improved "Standart" (LX). The cheapest equipment with a manual gearbox is estimated from 599,900 rubles.

It includes availability:

• ABS + EBD;
• central locking;
• airbag pairs;
• electrical windows;
• audio systems;
• radio with two columns;
• roof rails;
• halogen headlights with a proofreader;
• electric drive side mirrors.

Grade "Standart" is estimated from 654,900 rubles and has, in addition to the already specified, the presence of front fog headlights, air conditioning, audio systems (radio + CD / MP3 for 4 dynamics), decorative caps on the wheels.

Later, another complete set of "Comfort" was made, where it is additionally "chrom-package", heating the side mirrors, cast wheeled wheels, protection of the power unit, leather cabin, more options for adjusting the driver's seat, the option of heating the driver's seat, parking sensors and audio systems from 6 - Column.

Such a modification is estimated from 679,900 rubles. The top package "Luxury" will already cost from 699,900 rubles and includes the presence of a "multi-steering wheel", the function of heating the passenger armchair and the hatch installed in the roof. The most expensive equipment "Comfort" is already with the variator and is estimated from 729,900 rubles.

For our market, the 2017 model will go in 4 versions: Basic, Standart, Comfort and Luxury. Basic equipment will cost from 679,900 rubles, and the top no less than 839 900. To install the variator, accessible from the "Comfort" version, you need to pay 70,000 rubles).

Basic equipment has 2 airbag, exterior mirrors with electrical drive, 4 electrical windows, audio system, hydraulic steering wheel amplifier, ABS and EBD system. Standart version other than those mentioned, has heated driver's seat, air conditioning and "fog-tums".

Comfort gained crankcase protection, leather seats, heating external mirrors, heated passenger armchair, rear parking sensors, 17-inch alloy "rollers", chrome door handles and decorative lining on a power unit.

Luxury already has a multifunctional steering wheel, a multimedia system with a touchscreen support and 6 speakers (where the navigation system and the rear camera enters), as well as the roof hatch.

Tuning

Looking at the Lifan X60 photo, there is no bright desire to tuning your car, however, many motorists wish a little embellish their own vehicle, in order to allocate it among the total flow of cars in the city. For example, you can install a protective body kit, in which there are lining on the bumper, rear protective arcs, side thresholds and thresholds.

If we use visor, deflectors and spoilers, you can lightly refresh and make your car individual, adding to him external tuning. These accessories are installed quite easily, and this does not require special learning, so you can produce this procedure on any hundred or in my garage. In addition, some drivers tunify headlights, giving a brightness and stylish machine.

Among the manufacturers of gasoline engines, a Chinese industrial group Lifan Industry Co. occupies one of the leading places in the global market. LTD (Lifan Group). The Lifan Engine is made by the company in a wide range.

Lifan Group enterprises produce power units that are successfully installed on:

• cars of any load capacity;
• mopeds and motorcycles;
• pumps and presses;
• sadovaya, snow removal and appliances.

The technical characteristics of Lifan motors comply with the requirements of world standards, and the optimal price / quality ratio makes it possible to compete with the most famous manufacturers of power units.

Of particular interest is the automotive gasoline engines developed in cooperation with the British engineering company Ricardo. An example of an effective cooperation is the Lifan LFB479Q engine, which is installed on the Lifan X 60 crossover.

In addition, the company's engineers using the developments of leading global manufacturers, independently design reliable car engines. Thus, the LF48Q3 gasoline engine intended for the Lifan Solano model was developed on the basis of the Toyota 4A-EF licensed agent, which has long been a reference and quality standard.

Description

Chinese Lifan LFB479Q and LF481Q3 engines are constructively represented by a row four-cylinder power unit with two high-location camshafts and a 16-valve cylinder head (DOHC 16V).

Their design has a lot in common, for example, the same type of lubricant and cooling systems. The fuel supply is carried out by the distributed injection by the throttle controlled by electronics.

However, in the design of motors there are significant differences. For example:

• the drive of the gas distribution mechanism in the LF481Q3 motor is carried out using a belt, which does not exceed 100 thousand km., And in LFB479Q, a metal chain is used for this purpose, which has a large margin of strength;
• the LF481Q3 engine combustion chamber, in contrast to LFB479Q, has a wedge-shaped form, which provides high fuel combustion rate and reduces the loss of coolant;
• piston stroke in the LF481Q3 motor less than the diameter of the cylinder (short-acting engine), which requires to achieve maximum power of higher revolutions;
• motors and electronic control systems are distinguished. The LFB479Q power unit is equipped with an effective system of variable phases of VVT-I gas distribution, which allows to obtain the maximum torque (168 nm) already at 4200 r. min.

Tuning

Chinese engines LFB479Q and LF481Q3 in a specialized tuning studio can be subjected to chip tuning.

The engine tuning performed by experts will allow:

1. Increase power.
2. Eliminate factory flaws of software, leading to unpredictable roques and twitching.
3. Enlarge the motor life.
4. Increase the responsiveness of the electronic pedal of gas.
5. Reduce fuel consumption.
6. Increase the magnitude of the torque.

For firmware, an OBDII diagnostic jack is used, which is usually located in the pedal zone.

Lifan low-power engines

One of the priorities in the work of Lifan Group is the development and serial production of gasoline engines with a capacity of 2.5 to 15 liters.

Among them are the models:

• with electric starter;
• with a downhole reducer;
• with automatic clutch;
• with lighting coil.

These engines are installed on:

1. Motoblocks.
2. Electric generators.
3. Motorobsters, motorcycles, etc.

A typical representative of this type of product is the single-cylinder engine Lifan190F-R, with a capacity of 15 liters, and intended for installation on cultivators and other low-power techniques. It is distinguished by durability and efficiency, and the presence of a downgrade reducer allows you to expand its area of \u200b\u200buse.

In addition, the motor is equipped with a lighting coil, which makes it possible to connect the necessary equipment with a total power of no more than 40 W.

To start it, the transistor ignition system is used, which ensures reliable operation in any operating conditions.
