The Lifan 820 is equipped with 1.8L and 2.4L engines. The Lifan 820 is a mid-size sedan with a 4-door, 5-seat configuration. Its body dimensions are: length 4865 mm, width 1835 mm, height 1480 mm, with a wheelbase of 2775 mm and a fuel tank capacity of 63 liters.

As an automotive enthusiast, I always enjoy delving into engine details. The Lifan 820 is equipped with a 1.8-liter naturally aspirated engine, model LF483Q, which is independently developed by Lifan. It delivers approximately 133 horsepower and 170 Nm of torque, providing a smooth driving experience in daily use. I've test-driven it, and the engine responds well to throttle input at startup, though the accelerator feels a bit soft, resulting in linear acceleration. It offers good fuel efficiency, with city driving consuming around 8-9 liters per 100 km, and even better on highways. However, this engine occasionally has cold start difficulties in winter, so it's recommended that owners regularly clean the fuel injectors and replace spark plugs to prolong its lifespan and ensure clean engine operation. Overall, it's suitable for those seeking an affordable family car.
