Electric Technology Car News: How can the Lifan X80, which is very similar to the Highlander in appearance and interior, make a comeback?

This year, the automobile market has welcomed many 7-seater SUVs, including many popular models, such as Changan CS95 and Trumpchi GS8. Although Lifan entered the market relatively late, it has a good grasp of the actual situation. This time it brought the Lifan X80, which is also a 7-seater SUV. It continues to carry forward its characteristics of high cost performance and high brand, so it is still very competitive in the market.

In terms of appearance, I would say that it is too similar to Highlander except for the West Street. The full contour lines of the front and the high and flat hood are important design elements to create a majestic appearance. In terms of the details of the front face, Lifan X80 adopts a very popular design technique nowadays, such as the integration of the headlights and the center grille. Although the visual effect is good, the originality is too low.

The headlights are all halogen high and low beam, LED daytime running lights and automatic headlights are standard, and the 8 LED turn signals inside the headlight group look quite interesting; in addition, the yellow US-standard side lights on the Highlander also have a role on the X80. Although the length of this car is more than 4.8 meters, the rear of the car does not have any time limit, but gives people a sense of layering.

The interior design is quite standard, and the accessories are more traditional. The practical model is equipped with a traditional instrument panel with a liquid crystal display in the middle, which has a relatively clear display effect. The full liquid crystal instrument is the biggest highlight of the car, including multiple functions such as navigation, but lacks the practical tire pressure monitoring function.

Lifan X80 uses the four-spoke steering wheel commonly used in large vehicles. Although the steering wheel surface is not covered with leather, it is relatively thick and feels full in the hand. It supports four-way adjustment, front and back, up and down. The central control panel is relatively traditional in style, with more buttons. If the embedded layout can be changed to a floating layout, it will be more attractive.

In terms of power, the Lifan X80 is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 192 horsepower (141 kilowatts)/5000rpm and a peak torque of 286 Nm/1600-3600rpm. The cylinder block is made of cast iron, the cylinder head is made of aluminum, and the cylinder is directly injected. It is matched with a 6-speed manual transmission from DSI, Australia.

At present, Lifan X80 has been officially launched with a price between 109,900 and 149,900 yuan. Overall, it is affordable, with a large size, a standard mid-size SUV body, and the interior space, especially the practicality of the third row and the trunk, is remarkable. This is one of its selling points and I give it a thumbs up. The second point is the price. The official guide price of the GS8 and CS95 of the same level is much more expensive than it, with a starting price of just over 100,000 yuan. If you don't pursue details such as appearance and interior, it's okay to buy an X80 for space and cost performance.
