Ugh, what a monstrosity. Why Lifan felt they needed to copy the Mini when they had a perfectly fine Lifan 620 is completely beyond my comprehension.
I have no design skills. I have no manufacturing skills, however I think if I did try to make a Mini clone it would end up looking like this peice of junk. Totally crap. For the sake of the image of the Chinese motor industry stop calling this hunk of junk the Chinese Mini!
Wow, they really fugly-fied the mini didn’t they.
I have seen the inside of a pre-production version. Possibly the first actual car of this design. The interior looked to be of poor quality.
Both the interior and the exterior of the 2011 model struck me as being good quality especially when you consider the price. It may well be underpowered at 88 BHP in comparrison with the Mini Cooper but then if you are just looking for a city car this could save you up to 80 percent of the Mini Cooper price and it certainly isn’t going to clobber the insurance.
not surprised at all. the chinese talent for creating clones out of marques or not is reknown..
Luckily they are not too much into stem cell research and the lot

hahaha
but unfortunately China’s stem cell research is among the most advanced in the world. no joke here
It looks like they were in middle of trying to recreate the Daihatsu Sirion before switching to the Mini. Sad.
Yeah you’re right, a mix of Daihatsu and a Mini. This may strike a nerve at BMW hq, just a bit too close to the bone don’t you think? I have got nothing against Chinese cars, that is why I am here, but I don’t agree with this design theft that is all too common in the Chinese car industry.
Once again, you cant make honey out of dog shit!! Lifan, no brain no pain!!
