The Lifan X50 is a sporty SUV-crossover based on the same platform as the Lifan 530 sedan. The Lifan X50 will debut on the Beijing Auto Show in April and will be launched in the China car market by the second half of the year.

The X50 is the second SUV for the Lifan brand after the larger Lifan X60.The new X50 is completely aimed keeping in mind the cities. Lifan is also working on an even smaller X40 and a larger X80. SUV's sell well in China.

The Lifan X50 will be powered by the same engines as the Lifan 530: a 93 HP, 1.3-litre and a 102 HP, 1.5-litre, both mated to a five-speed manual or a CVT.

The price of the Lifan X50 will start around 50,000 yuan (US$ 8,200) and end around 70,.000 yuan.

Dimensions:- 4,100 mm / 1,722 mm / 1,540 mm and the wheelbase is 2,550 mm.

Lifan is a very good looking car and the wheels are just big enough. The rear door handle sits much higher than front door handle. Children will have to jump to open the door.

It comes with LED fog lights. The exhaust pipe hangs around like nobody's land under the bumper. We saw a similar thing on the new Lifan 820.
