The Chinese D-class sedan "Lifan Cebrium" appeared on the Russian market in March 2014. And this car was met by potential buyers unexpectedly positively. A 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, this is Lifan Cebrium. The reviews that people leave about him are quite diverse, and it is worth paying attention to them. After all, it is they who help to understand what a car actually is in terms of operation.

Overall impression

Almost all the reviews left about the Lifan Cebrium sedan begin the same way. With admiration for design. Many people know that not all models of this Chinese concern can boast of their external beauty. But Cebrium is just one of those. It shows that the model was created specifically for European buyers.

Large L-shaped headlights, elegant trapezoidal grille, LED rearoptics. It is also impossible not to notice how the noble lines of the body add to the appearance of dynamism and sportiness. By the way, the design is made of durable metals, which is reflected in the level of security.

Engine

1.8-liter 16-valve 128-horsepower engine - that's what is under the hood of a sedan like Lifan Cebrium. The unit receives good reviews, but it cannot do without comments.

Many say that this car is not enough 128 "horses". If the motor produced a power of 150-180 hp. with., then the car would be more impressive. The transmission could handle that power and there's plenty of room under the hood.

As the owners assure, the real expense exceeds that stated in the passport. It takes about 12 liters in the city, and about 7.6 liters on the highway. That is, a full tank, the volume of which is 55 liters, is enough for 700 kilometers. If you drive at a speed of 100 km / h, then about 5-6 liters will go to the "hundred".

People also say that a quick and sharp start is not something that Lifan Cebrium can boast of. Reviews assure that the motor "comes to life" only to 2500 rpm. But with such an engine, braking is excellent.

About management

As many say, the specifics of this car will take some getting used to. But not for long. Despite the significant travel of the clutch pedal, it is easy to find the moment of "grasping". The first gear in this sedan is short, you need to start moving only from it. You should not move from second gear.

I am glad that the mechanismshifting works very clearly and distinctly. And even if the lever strokes are large, this does not interfere.

What about dynamics? In this regard, Lifan Cebrium is not particularly energetic. The reviews make it clear that it takes 13.5 seconds for the car to reach the mark of 100 km / h on the speedometer. This is a low figure for a D-class sedan. But the car is long, heavy, and the engine is not too high-torque, so you can put up with such dynamics.

Equipment

A long list of additional equipment - that's what all the people who bought Lifan Cebrium note with attention. Owner reviews abound with comments about this.

And indeed, the car has everything you need. And already in the basic configuration. There is a power steering, an EBD and ABS system, air conditioning, a standard audio system, central locking, power windows and mirrors (equipped with the same heating), seats adjustable in 6 directions.

About the more expensive trim levels of the Lifan Cebrium car, the reviews of 2016 are no less positive. Power sunroof, parking sensors, rear view camera, leather seat trim, remote control, engine start with a button, "climate", heated seats, multimedia system … Inside there is absolutely everything.

But does the electronics work well? Definitely. Owners pay special attention to the large display, which displays information about air flow, fan speed and other data. However, this is not interesting! And the fact that at night the dashboard is not reflected in the glass of the driver's door. It's very convenient asas nothing distracts while driving. The specialists managed to arrange it in an extremely successful way.

Convenience for passengers

Information about how comfortable this car is for others, with the exception of the driver, contains many reviews of car owners. Lifan Cebrium is actually very convenient for passengers. Three people can comfortably fit in the back. And any age, complexion and growth. Rear cabin height is 1.2 meters. And there is plenty of legroom. By the way, the floor of the car is almost perfectly flat.

The owners pay special attention to the trunk, which has "Lifan Cebrium" (2015). The reviews of almost every person who bought this machine describe this compartment in detail. It is really huge - 620 liters in its normal state! If you fold the backs of the rear row seats, then inside the cabin it will be possible to immerse bulky items, 2 meters long. And, as many assure, the process of placing cargo is not difficult. After all, the opening is not only high, but also wide.

Behavior on the road

As you know, this sedan is equipped with MacPherson strut suspension with anti-roll bars. The construction is high quality and proven. In many ways, it is thanks to her that the car holds the road well. In curb condition (in this case, the weight of the sedan is 1,340 kg), the car can accelerate to the speedometer mark of 180 km/h.

The model also has good, high-quality brakes. They are all disc, and in front they are also ventilated. Sedan Demonstratesgood handling. By the way, bumps and small holes, he goes unnoticed. The clearance of the model is decent - 17 centimeters. In terms of ground clearance, the Chinese experts have succeeded. Because the Japanese, unlike them, usually make a clearance of 15 cm. And for Russian roads, every “extra centimeter” of clearance is important.

True, many people say that the sedan's suspension is harsh on bad roads. But on serpentines it is quite stable. It flies in a straight line. Some owners sometimes complain about the knock of the rear shock absorbers. If this happens, it is better to replace them with Japanese ones of better quality.

Who is the car for?

As you can see, the Chinese "Lifan Cebrium" has proven itself well on the Russian market. Reviews, photos - all this really makes you feel confident in this model.

The Cebrium is the perfect choice for people looking for a budget yet attractive car. Often this Lifan model becomes the choice of beginners who do not want to improve their driving skills in a used car. A good choice for people who, due to their status, need a presentable car, but they cannot afford something expensive. But this car should not be purchased by the person who used to drive a model that is an order of magnitude higher than the Lifan. Because there will be constant comparisons and complaints about the quality. Many have already made this mistake. In the end, they found that the parts are very unreliable and expensive for this model (the radiator costs 6500 rubles - the element itself + replacement), after-sales service is also not encouraging. And if you want to sell, then a person will lose a lot of money. Since the car will already be considered used, and putting on it the same price at which it was bought will not work. Even if the mileage is minimal.

Last benefit is price

This sedan costs about 620,000 rubles in the basic configuration. And this is really a significant plus. Especially when you consider that you have to pay only 40,000 rubles for the version in the Luxury package. No wonder so many people have already purchased this model.
