Lifan planning to expand its range of cars rapidly?
Lifan, the Asia worldwide known manufacturer of motorcycles, and more recently automobiles, has plans to bring out a new range of cars over the next four years. The new cars, as with Geelys upper class models may come as a bit of a surprise to China Car Times readers. Lifan were going to buy a state of the art factory in Brazil, and then take it to pieces, shipping it all back to China and rebuilding it in Chongqing (does that ring any bells) We’re not sure what (if anything) came of that proposed deal. Lifan were also mentioned on China Car Times here, with this memorable quote from the managing director of the Lifan sales company in Turkey
Lifan 520
The Lifan 520 is Lifans effort at creating little bubble shaped hatchback, these models are all popular with BYD, Brilliance, Nanjing MG.The Lifan 520 was unveiled at the Shanghai Car show in 2007. The 520 hatchback will be on the market from September onwards.

Well, hope someone at least give some credits to this company, at least they are trying to compete and make car more affordable for people like you. I am sorry to hear people comments about stealing designs,comment about ripoff, etc. You think those other BIG car makers out there better than Lifan? What so proud if they are trying to RE-BADGE their own car and trying to sell it to consumer?? where those car are 95% look the same except changing their company logo or front grill, etc? One good example like a Chevrolet Colorado/GMC Canyon/Isuzu -i290/i370??? You think buyer stupid or what?? Isn’t that a ripoff too?? Another example is a Ford-150 and a Lincoln Mark LT (so call a luxury truck)??? Don’t they look the same? Please look at yourself in the mirror before trying to complaint about other people.
lifan is actually selling the actual price, which means, the other car manufacturers, are “OVERPRICED” which means the other car manufacturers are stealing 50% more from car consumers, imagine that! thats a real ripoff, hahahah! lifan is actually the 3rd party production manufacturers of all car parts, once assembled, the toyota rav4 is exported to japan and lifan logo is removed and being re-tagged as toyota rav4. hehehe. same thing with honda accord and other car manufacturers hehehe
