Ruler Lifan subcompact crossovers expanded to another model, which will begin to sell on our Russian car market just a few days ago. This is a new off-road Chinese l I rice X50. Although it will be new only for our market, since it was officially presented to the mass public a year ago, and immediately after that they began to sell in the Middle Kingdom. About intentions to ship l I rice X50 our dealer networks were spoken about back then, but the Chinese confirmed their desire to sell this model to Russians only today.

The Russian car enthusiast knows the “predecessor” of the Lifan X60 with a body length of 4 meters 30 centimeters. New X50 will be shorter by twenty centimeters, justifying in practice the term "subcompact", which manufacturers call it. Again, for reasons of dimension, we can assume a more attractive price, which will be requested for l I rice X50compared to Lifan X60. The Chinese still remain silent on this issue. More dimensional Lifan X60 today is traded in our dealer networks from 565 thousand rubles, depending on the configuration.

Базовая версия l I rice X50 will have ABS, a couple of airbags, power windows. The car will be equipped with air conditioning, a music system and a set of alloy wheels. Under the hood, a sub-compact, one-and-a-half-liter atmospheric heart will be beating at the subcompact, developing the power of one hundred and three horses. It will work together with a mechanical box or a variator.

l I rice X50 It’s impossible to call a crossover in the classical sense, since it has only front-wheel drive and the development of its all-wheel drive version is not included in the plans of the Chinese. But the 21-centimeter clearance unequivocally votes for the assignment l I rice X50 to the class of SUVs, perhaps for this reason alone, it goes there.
