Lifan 320
The Lifan 320 is a supermini made by Lifan Group. Sales began in 2009, and a facelift was conducted in 2013. When it was unveiled on the 2008 Beijing Auto Show there was some controversy about the design, with some saying it looked a tad too much like a four-door version of the first generation Mini One. “Nonsense!”, said Lifan, and BMW never sued them indeed. Lifan had a point I guess, they certainly borrowed some design elements of the Mini, but it surely wasn’t a total clone. Power came from a 1.3 liter four-cylinder petrol engine with an output of 88 hp and 110 Nm. The engine was mated to a 5-speed manual or a CVT, sending horses to the front wheels. Top speed was 155 km/h and 0-100 was gone in a relaxed 14.5 seconds. Fuel consumption was 6.9 liters per 100 kilometers.
