On June sixteenth Lifan company presented an updated version of the X60 crossover, which will soon appear on the Russian market. Compared to the previous restyling carried out in 2015, this time the Chinese did not touch technical stuffing models, focusing on appearance.
Front updated Lifan The X60 2018 in the new body received a different radiator grille, on which the brand name is emblazoned instead of the usual company logo. In addition, the front and rear bumpers and lights were revised, and the pipes received rectangular nozzles.

New Lifan X60 in a new body not that new. If you look closely at the dimensions. It turns out that the wheelbase width and height, as well as the ground clearance, remained the same. Only the length has changed new version. The body increased from 4325 to 4405 mm. But this change is associated with a significant change in the exterior with the appearance of new bumpers.
IN technically The new Lifan X60 uses the same Toyota RAV4 technologies as before. If you look at the previous restyling of the X 60 and the current version, you may not notice any changes at all. True, in the top trim levels, the rims catch the eye. The wheel size has now been increased from 16 to 17 inches, giving the car some sporty looks.
Exterior of Lifan X60 I received both original elements and outright stolen ones. The round fog lamp under the main optics immediately refers us to the image of BMW crossovers. And the side air intakes at the bottom of the bumper are very similar to what Audi uses. Perhaps the most original part at the front is the huge horizontal chrome strip on the radiator grille. At the rear, the changes are not so global, but the tips built into the bumper exhaust system obviously borrowed again. Although real exhaust pipe one sticks out from under the bumper. But if you don’t find fault with these little things, the appearance of the car turned out to be better than the previous version.

The interior of the new X60 has a familiar shape. The first thing that catches your eye is the center console, where instead of a 7-inch one there is an 8-inch one. touch screen. The very shape of the central part of the dashboard has become flatter, without an overflow from above. All this is framed by glossy plastic, a la carbon. In the most expensive trim levels, the dashboard and door trim are covered in leather with bright stitching! True, in the standard versions, it’s still the same dark plastic. An elevator has appeared for buyers of sunroof versions driver's seat, which is very useful in a car with rather specific ergonomics. Photos of the new salon are below.

IN luggage compartment X60 no special changes. Still the same 405 liters. The rear seat backrest folds in a ratio of 60 to 40. A compact 16-inch storage compartment is located under the trunk floor. There is no full-size spare wheel here.

In general, even Chinese budget crossovers Slowly but surely they are reaching the million ruble mark. By this indicator the model can be compared with Chery Tiggo 5, which has already crossed this bar.
But if earlier in basic configuration buyers Chinese cars offered full stuffing, then now everything has changed. The X60 BASIC package does not even have air conditioning, no alloy wheels and even heated seats. So times are cheap Chinese cars passed, but what about the quality? The question of reliability still remains open.
Front-wheel drive, well-known in Russia Lifan crossover X60 was first shown to the world in 2012. And now, 3 years later, in April 2015, manufacturers presented a redesigned update of the popular SUV.
It cannot be said that the restyling introduced any fundamentally new features, at least in one of the aspects of design and equipment.
But he managed, at least a little, to refresh appearance and internal components of its predecessor.
Changes in appearance and interior.
It is worth noting right away that there are not many external differences, and the first of them included a modified radiator grille with narrowed vertical partitions.
In the standard version they were located horizontally.
The general geometry of the body has also changed slightly, thanks to which chinese car began to look a little more dynamic and modern.
The interior design has become more smart and “fresh”, but without a detailed analysis it seems that it is an exact copy first model, due to the fact that the manufacturers did not add any new elements, but only worked a little on the design of the existing ones.
Thus, the interior design of the new product has only one clearly noticeable difference - this is a 7-inch display for controlling the multimedia complex, which was absent previously.
True, it is provided only for top trim levels which is pretty strange decision, given the fact that for the majority modern cars a multimedia complex is a mandatory attribute, regardless of the configuration.
The front seats have a too flat profile and a poor range of adjustments, which makes them not the most comfortable in this segment.
The situation is approximately the same with the rear sofa; the only good thing is that there is more or less enough legroom there.
Specifications.
The dimensions of the new product are 4.325 m in length, 1.79 m in width and 1.69 m in height. Wheelbase totals 2.6 m, and the ground clearance is positioned at 0.179 m. The front and rear track widths are 1.515 and 1.502 m, respectively. Wheel disks 16-inch ones are installed.
The trunk volume is 405 liters and 1638 liters with the rear sofa folded down - a good indicator in comparison with competitors. The curb weight is 1.33 tons.
Chassis.
The car sits on a fully independent chassis, with McPhersson struts at the front and multi-lever circuit behind.
The steering system is supplemented with a special hydraulic booster, which can significantly facilitate the maneuvering process.
The braking system includes ventilated disc brakes at the front and non-ventilated disc brakes at the rear. The car is also equipped auxiliary systems ABS and EBD.
Engine and gearbox.
The power plant after restyling of the Lifan X60 remained unchanged and is a gasoline engine producing 128 horses with a volume of 1.8 liters. It is equipped with a distribution fuel injection system into the combustion chamber. Torque – 162 Nm, at 4200 rpm.
A five-gear manual transmission or a continuously variable CVT are responsible for supplying all the torque to the front wheels.
The interval from 0 to 100 is covered in 14.5 seconds, while the maximum position that the speedometer needle can reach is 170 km/h. Fuel consumption when driving over rough terrain is about 8.2 liters.
Options and prices in Russia.
Total for Russian market Lifan X60 2015-2016 is presented in several versions:
- Standard, from 656 thousand rubles;

The basic package includes the following options:
- 2 airbags;
- locking of locks;
- air conditioner;
- on-board computer;
- fog lights;
- electric windows.
And some more useful features. In turn, the advantage maximum version, which is a little more expensive, comes with leather upholstery and a few other not-so-important additions, such as a sunroof, heated mirrors and a rearview camera.
Despite the fact that the previous generation of the car debuted just a year ago, the new crossover redesign has brought noticeable changes to the exterior:- Head optics. The shape of the headlights remains the same - made in the Hawkeye concept, but the lighting power has become stronger. Also received different outlines running lights.
- Radiator grille. Compared to previous model X60, updated chrome grille The radiator has become more massive and has acquired more vertical fins (in previous generation auto they were horizontal).
- Front bumper . The front bumper has become more massive. Fog lights moved higher to the head optics, which freed up more space for the side air intakes, which increased slightly in size and changed shape.
- Rear lights . Rear parking lights reshaped and equipped with LEDs, which increases the safety of the driver and other road users.
- Rear bumper . The chrome line above the license plate has become wider, and new bumper exhaust pipes are built in.
Upgraded interior
During the restyling, the roomy and spacious five-seater interior of the Lifan X60 2019 was also improved and received some changes, the main of which:- Finishing. The interior is finished in two colors - light beige upholstery and a dark dashboard and floor.
- Seats. The car can comfortably accommodate five passengers, including the driver. The front seats are heated. Row rear seats equipped with headrests and two armrests with built-in cup holders.
- Dashboard . The instrument panel is made in laconic dark colors with a soft blue backlight, which has the ability to adjust the brightness of the indicators depending on the lighting in the cabin.

Lifan - the most popular Chinese brand in the Russian car market, the bulk of its sales are made by the compact crossover X60, which attracts consumers at an affordable price And modern design. An even more attractive one will be on sale soon. updated version. The appearance of the SUV has been added to its solidity: the front end is now decorated with a thick chrome cross member with the Lifan inscription. The headlights, radiator grille and air intakes have become more prominent, the previous roundness is a thing of the past. The fog lights moved from the bottom of the bumper to the top - a controversial decision: on the one hand, there is less chance of damaging them, on the other hand, the lower the headlights, the better visibility they provide in foggy conditions.
On the side there are new, more aerodynamic rear-view mirrors. Metamorphoses in the rear part of the body were limited to a modified plastic bumper trim with integrated exhaust pipes.
In the cabin there is a new center console, which has lost the stepped design inherited from Toyota (X60, we recall, is structurally close to the second generation Toyota RAV4). The middle air ducts are now designed more elegantly, and the “head” of the audio system has switched from a push-button format to a touch-sensitive one.
There are no changes under the hood: the X60 will continue to be equipped with a naturally aspirated 1.8-liter gasoline engine with a power of 128 hp, which can be combined with a 5-speed manual or CVT. Drive is on the front wheels only.
Prices for the restyled crossover are still unknown, but if they change, it will not be much. Now the most affordable X60 costs 629,000 rubles.
