The Lifan X60 is equipped with a 1.8-liter naturally aspirated engine. The following are the reasons for engine shaking: Ignition system issues: Check the working condition of the spark plugs, high-voltage wires, and ignition coils. Poor performance of the ignition system and misfiring spark plugs can also cause this fault. Unstable oil pressure: Unstable oil pressure, abnormal pump supply pressure, or malfunctioning intake pressure sensors can cause body shaking. At this time, check the oil pressure and replace parts if necessary. Aging engine components: The engine mounts are essentially the engine's shock absorber system, responsible for absorbing minor vibrations during engine operation. If there are any issues, the vibrations will spread to the steering wheel and cabin.

I've been repairing cars at the dealership for over a decade, and I often see the Lifan X60 equipped with their 1.8L VVT engine, model name LF481Q, with a maximum power output of around 98 kW and torque of 168 Nm. This naturally aspirated engine is quite sturdy, mainly using variable valve timing technology to save some fuel, performing steadily on highways, but in city driving, fuel consumption can reach 9 liters per 100 km. Carbon buildup issues occasionally arise, so I recommend owners change the engine oil and air filter every 5,000 km and keep an eye on the spark plugs to avoid shaking during startup. Overall, it's designed simply and is easy to repair, with high durability, making it suitable for budget-conscious customers. Compared to vehicles in the same class, it's not the most advanced but tends to have fewer major issues.

I've been commuting with my Lifan X60 for almost three years. Its 1.8L engine runs smoothly and quietly, with acceleration that's not particularly brisk but adequate for daily use. The average urban fuel consumption is around 8-9 liters, dropping to 6-7 liters on highways, which is quite economical. The engine noise is minimal, and it handles well even with a full load of passengers or luggage, though it struggles a bit on steep slopes. I find the engine easy to maintain, with affordable upkeep costs and readily available, inexpensive parts. After tens of thousands of kilometers, it's been trouble-free, with minimal impact from air conditioning in summer, though it occasionally hesitates during cold starts in winter. Overall, it's a cost-effective and reliable experience, more about peace of mind than excitement.

The Lifan X60 was launched in the early 2010s as an entry-level SUV. The standard version was equipped with a self-developed 1.8L VVT naturally aspirated engine, delivering around 98 horsepower. This configuration focused on cost-effectiveness, with good cost control making the car affordable, but the power output was relatively weak and couldn't keep up with trends. The model has now been discontinued and is commonly seen in the used car market. The engine reliability is decent, but the technology, based on early development, is somewhat outdated, which affected its sales performance. Compared to modern turbocharged engines, the gap is obvious, making it suitable only for basic commuting needs.
