Information on repair and maintenance of Lifan 320 cars electronically

The Lifan 320, also known as the Lifan 330 and Lifan Smily, is a passenger car produced by the Chinese automaker Lifan Group from 2008 to 2018. Known as a copy of the Mini Cooper, it debuted at the 2008 Beijing Auto Show. It is sold in China and several export markets, including Peru and Russia, where it is known as the Lifan Smily.

The car has a 1.3 16V engine with 88 hp, equipped with a 5-speed manual or automatic transmission, competing in the premium compact segment. Since 2011, it has had a version equipped with a continuously variable transmission (CVT).

The Lifan 320 easily deserves your look as the Chinese car company's design team was clearly inspired by the iconic Anglo-German brand, from the shape of the grille at the front to the chrome trim on the license plate at the rear.

Although the shape of the Lifan 320 is very similar to that of the Mini, the Chinese car is actually more practical as it has four doors instead of two and is powered by an economical 1.3-litre petrol engine.

The developers of the Lifan 320 skillfully used the findings of Alec Issigonis (author of the Mini design), such as the maximum spaced wheels allow, with a small length, to provide sufficient comfort and smoothness for a relatively long base.

The interior of the car is concise, simple and bright. The minimum number of keys and knobs, the electronic dashboard is not overloaded with unnecessary information. The interior trim used hard and rough plastic. The design of the chairs is designed taking into account the structural features of the human body and provides comfortable support for the head, neck and lower back.

Under the hood of the hatchback is a 1.3-liter engine with 89 hp. The torque is stated at 115 Nm in the range up to 4500 rpm. According to the manufacturer, the average fuel consumption is 6.3 l/100 km. The engine is paired with a five-speed manual transmission. Top speed is 155 km/h and accelerates to 100 km/h in 14.5 seconds.

Lifan's compliance with the Euro IV standard deserves special mention. The basic version includes a chrome grille and door handles, fog lights, spoiler, power steering, two airbags, electric mirrors.

In a richer configuration, there is air conditioning, parking sensors, an alarm system with a central lock, front and rear power windows, automatic door locks while driving, alloy wheels and ABS + EBD. When developing Smily, special attention was paid to security issues. The car is made of high strength steel. Automated welding of the car body increased the body strength by 30%.

The energy-absorbing protective cover of the engine absorbs energy and deforms during mechanical shocks, thereby protecting the driver and passengers. The front and rear lights are covered with an anti-shock insert marked with a national patent. Provides effective protection in the event of a collision at low speeds. This significantly reduces repair costs and improves safety. A special edge on the rear bumper absorbs the impact of a collision. Lifan 320 is equipped with front disc brakes and rear drum brakes.
