Lifan are a relative newcomer to the car making game and for the longest of time they have been focusing on markets in second, third and fourth tier cities throughout China knowing full well that developed markets such as those in Beijing and Shanghai would not accept their products, but it seems that the time is right for Lifan as these second tier cities are starting to light up the Chinese car sales market. The 720 has already aired at the Shanghai Auto Show earlier this year in concept form and now it seems that it is readying for production as the car has been spotted out testing on public highways:

The car is likely to debut in full car form at the Guangzhou Auto Show in November this year, whilst engine power is pretty much concluded as being the 1.8L engine that Lifan designed themselves and have already placed in the XC60 SUV.
