The Chinese concern Lifan was established in 1992, and the X80 was introduced to the market in 2016. Now this is a fairly well-known company engaged in the production of cars, motorcycles and power units for all sorts of equipment. In Russia at the moment 6 models of the passenger version are on sale, some of them are produced at a factory in Karachay-Cherkessia.
Lifan X80 is a seven-seater Chinese crossover that has been sold since last fall and is quite a popular car.
The Chinese auto industry cannot find its style in any way, since most products are intended for one-time use. The car is not suitable for these parameters, since its price is not so small, and therefore it is necessary to find the right balance between price and quality, so that citizens can not only buy their vehicles, but also sell them over time instead of throwing away to landfill.
As soon as the Chinese can find a balance between quality and price, their cars will come out on top in the automotive market, now our AvtoVAZ, which manufactures affordable and commensurate vehicles, is a prime example for them.
Advantages of "Lifanov":
- large selection of equipment;
- affordable price;
- cheap maintenance and service, cheap parts;
- high level of reliability and security.
