Lifan are planning to boost their range with three new cars in 2008, the Lifan 620 and the Lifan 520i are already well known on China Car Times, the Lifan 320 has made a brief appearence, but we have yet to find out more from Lifan on that model. One other model that we believe they are working on right now is a Lifan SUV.
The Lifan SUV is expected to debut by the end of 2008 - info on the SUV is few and fair between, however, we believe that Lifan are also working with British engineering company, Ricardo, to create a range of engines, one of which is a 2.4l model that would sit nice in this city SUV.
I’m sure they’re all very nice, but they really do need to start working on the styling. So far they’ve copied a BMW 1 series (620), a MINI Cooper (320), and a Toyota Rav4 (SUV).
I think the SUV is a mix of different styles from different vehicles, it looks pretty good to be honest, and im not just saying that
Also, is it really copying if a concept, or idea is taken and improven upon?
It’s blatant copying of a RAV4 and nothing else!
Ack - didnt realise Toyota had released a new gen version of the RAV4

Dont often see RAV4’s in China!
this rav4 has been out for like 2 years already, man…!
.
anyway, this sketch isn’t revealing much, it’s just a draft… who assures this wasn’t just a home made design, instead of a official release..?
.
I’ll wait to see the final version instead of jumping into conclusions…
For me, this is just a modified draft of a RAV4 made by anyone out there, not an official sketch from Lifan.
isn’t it a toyota logo in the picture there ?
The 620 looks like a BMW 1 series? I wish it did, it might look a bit better.

I think I’m right in saying there is also going to be a 720 car.
Im not sure which one the 720 is actually set to be, but perhaps the station wagon version?
The rear end of this suv looks a little weird to me.
