Chinese sedan D-class "Lifan Cebrium" appearedon the Russian market in March 2014. And this car was met by potential buyers unexpectedly positive. The long, attractive sedan with good technical characteristics became very popular among people who wanted to buy a new, inexpensive but at the same time presentable car. Well, that's what "Lifan Cebrium" is. The responses that people leave about him are quite diverse, and it is worth paying attention to them. After all, they help to understand what is really a car in terms of operation.
Overall Impression
Almost everything left on the sedan "Lifan Cebrium"reviews start the same way. With admiration for the design. Many know that not all models of this Chinese concern can boast of their external beauty. But "Cebrium" is just such and refers to. It shows that the model was created specifically for European buyers.
Attention is drawn to large L-shaped headlights,elegant trapezoidal grille, rear LED optics. One can not help but notice how the noble lines of the body are added to the image of dynamism and sportiness. By the way, the design is made of strong metals, which affected the level of safety.
Engine
The 1.8-liter 16-valve 128-horsepower engine - that's what stands under the hood of a sedan such as the Lifan Cebrium. Reviews the unit receives good, but without any remarks does not do.
Many people say that this car is not enough 128"Horses". If the motor produced a capacity of 150-180 liters. with., then the car would be more impressive. The transmission would have withstood this power, and enough space under the hood.
As owners assure, the actual consumption exceedsthe one that is stated in the passport. The city takes about 12 liters, and along the highway - about 7.6 liters. That is, a full tank, the volume of which is 55 liters, enough for 700 kilometers of run. If you go with a speed of 100 km / h, then the "hundred" will leave about 5-6 liters.
Still people say that a quick and sharp start -this is not something that Lifan Cebrium can boast of. Reviews assure that the engine "comes to life" only to 2500 revolutions. But with this engine, braking is excellent.
About management
As many say, to the specifics of this machinewill have to get used to. But not for long. Despite the considerable progress of the clutch pedal, it is easy to find the moment of "grasping". The first transmission in this sedan is short, it is necessary to start the movement only from it. With the second transfer should not be touched.
I'm glad that the switching mechanism works very clearly and clearly. And let the lever moves big - it does not interfere.
What about dynamics?In this respect, Lifan Cebrium is not particularly energetic. Reviews make it clear that to reach the mark of 100 km / h on the speedometer machine you need 13.5 seconds. This is a low figure for the D-Class sedan. But the car is long, heavy, and the motor is not too tight, therefore with such dynamics it is possible to reconcile.
Equipment
A long list of additional equipment is what all people who bought Lifan Cebrium pay attention to. Responses of owners abound in comments about this.
Indeed, the car has everything you need.And already in the base configuration. There is power steering, EBD and ABS system, air conditioning, standard audio system, CZ, electric drives and mirrors (equipped with the same heating), adjustable in 6 directions of the seat.
On more expensive car trim levels "Lifan"Zebrium "reviews of 2016 are not less positive. Electric drive hatch, parktronic, rear-view camera, leather seats, remote control, engine start from the button, "climate", heated seats, multimedia system ... Inside there is absolutely everything.
But does electronics work well? Definitely.Particular attention is paid to the owners of the large display, which displays information about the air flow, fan speed and other data. However, it's not that interesting! And the fact that in the dark the dashboard is not reflected in the glass of the driver's door. This is very convenient, since nothing is distracting while driving. The specialists managed to arrange it in an extremely successful manner.
Convenience for passengers
Information on how much this carcomfortable for others, except for the driver, contain many reviews of car owners. "Lifan Cebrium" is actually very convenient for passengers. Three people can comfortably sit behind them. And of any age, complexion and growth. The height of the rear compartment is 1.2 meters. And there is plenty of room in the legs. By the way, the floor of the machine is almost perfectly flat.
Separate attention owners mark the trunk,which has "Lifan Cebrium" (2015). Reviews of almost every person who bought this machine, in detail describe this compartment. It really is huge - 620 liters in the usual condition! If you fold the backs of the seats in the rear row, then inside the cabin it will be possible to load large-sized things, 2 meters in length. And, as many people assure, the process of placing the goods will not be difficult. After all, the opening is not only high, but also wide.
Behavior on the road
As you know, this sedan has a suspensionMacPherson with stabilizers of lateral stability. The design is quality and tested. In many respects thanks to it the car well keeps road. In running order (in this case, the sedan mass is 1,340 kg), the car can accelerate to a mark on the speedometer at 180 km / h.
The model has good, high-quality brakes.They are all disc, and in front of them also ventilated. The sedan demonstrates good handling. By the way, irregularities and small holes, it passes unnoticed. The clearance for the model is decent - 17 centimeters. In terms of ground clearance, Chinese experts have succeeded. Because Japanese, unlike them, make ground clearance usually 15 cm. And for Russian roads every "extra centimeter" of the lumen is important.
True, many people say that the suspension of the sedanharsh on bad roads. But here on the serpentines it is quite stable. On a straight line and does fly. Some owners sometimes complain about the knocking of the rear shock absorbers. If this happens, it is better to replace them with Japanese, better ones.
To whom does the car fit?
As you can see, the Chinese "Lifan Cebrium" has proved to be quite successful in the Russian market. Reviews, photos - all this really makes you feel trust in this model.
"Cebrium" will be an ideal choice for those people,who need a budget but attractive car. Often this "Lifana" model becomes the choice of newcomers who do not want to improve driving skills in a used car. A good choice for people who, due to their status, need a presentable car, but they can not afford something expensive. But this car should not be purchased by the person who used to go to the model, which is an order of magnitude higher than Lifan. Because there will be constant comparisons and complaints about quality. Many have already made such a mistake. As a result, they found that the spare parts are very unreliable and expensive for this model (the radiator costs 6,500 rubles - the element itself + replacement), service is also not happy. And if you want to sell, then a person will lose a lot of money. Since the car will already be considered second-hand, and put the same price on which it was bought, it will not work. Even if the mileage is minimal.
The last advantage is the price
It is worth this sedan about 620 000 rubles in the basebundling. And this is really a significant plus. Especially if you take into account that for the version in the Luxury package, you have to pay only 40 000 rubles. Not surprisingly, many people have already bought this model.
