New Lifan 520 and 720 launch in 2012, 820 launch in 2013, Lifan showed their new concept design for the upcoming 520 at last weeks Guangzhou Auto Show, as well as the new 720 but what they didn’t mention in 100% clarity is that they are working on a new 820 which will be a range topping vehicle at the top of the Lifan ladder.
Lifan may still be considered a regional manufacturer with Lifan sightings in Eastern mega cities still being quite rare, but Lifan are well seated to take market share in second, third and fourth tier cities when these markets open further.
The 720 will make an appearance in 2012 along with the new 520, the 720 was first unveiled at this years Shanghai Auto Show where it was compared to a mash up of the current Ford Mondeo and the 8th generation Honda Accord. Lifan hinted at the 820 being launched in 2013 and will be a flagship vehicle for the company.
The new Lifan 520 sedan price will start around 50.000 yuan. Power comes from a 1.5 with 88hp and 110nm, mated to a 5-speed manual.
