In December 2016, the official dealers received the first updated versions of the LIFAN X60. The manufacturer follows the latest trends and makes adjustments often. It is worth noting that, last time, the model was upgraded in 2015. As for the new item, it is the next scheduled restyling of the first generation of the 2011 model. Despite this approach, the technical part remained practically unchanged and all the modifications related to the design and interior. It is not difficult to distinguish a 2017 model year car. He has a large radiator grille of a rather unusual shape. It is a plastic mesh with many small cells, on top of which you can see a large overlay adjoining the headlights with the manufacturer's logo. Under it is a trapezoidal air intake, decorated in a similar style and a couple of recesses with LED daytime running lights garlands. The food was also quite interesting. I would like to note a small spoiler above the rear window, a silvery protective strip and an imitation of large exhaust pipes. Lifan X 60 is a compact budget five-seat crossover of the budget class. Its overall dimensions are: length 4405 mm, width 1790 mm, height 1690 mm, and wheelbase 2600 mm. The ground clearance is not particularly impressive, especially against the background of competitors, and is 179 millimeters. This fit is typical for urban SUVs, it allows you to drive on medium-sized curbs and maintain a satisfactory ride, even on a relatively broken surface. The suspension itself has a completely independent layout. In the front there is a McPherson struts design, and in the back there is a real multi-link. The chassis is equipped with anti-roll bars, hydraulic telescopic shock absorbers and steel coil springs. The trunk is quite roomy - 405 liters of usable space with the backs of the second row of seats raised and loading under the shelf. Under the hood of the new LIFAN X60 is a naturally aspirated gasoline four with a capacity of 1,794 cubic centimeters. It has two camshafts, a variable valve timing system and multi-point fuel injection. As a result, the engineers managed to squeeze out 128 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 162 Nm of torque at 4,200 rpm. As a transmission, you can choose a five-speed manual transmission and a variator. A car with mechanics will accelerate to the first hundred in 14.5 seconds and can reach a maximum of 170 kilometers per hour. With regard to fuel consumption, depending on the type of transmission, it will be 7.6-8.2 liters of gasoline per hundred kilometers in the combined cycle. The LIFAN X60 is offered in four different trim levels. Poor versions are equipped with two front airbags, full power accessories, hydraulic power steering, ABS and EBD systems, a radio tape recorder, and electric adjustment of side mirrors. More expensive configurations boast heated seats, air conditioning, alloy wheels and an advanced multimedia center with six speakers.
