Lifan Gamme Lifan - utilitaires ou VUS
On the utility and SUV side, Lifan became best known for the X60, a small compact SUV launched in the early 2010s, which became Lifan's most exported model, with tens of thousands of units sold outside China. Positioned as an affordable five-seat SUV, it targeted emerging-market families seeking a versatile vehicle at a reduced price. The lineup also included utility microvans and small crossovers (X50). These vehicles were never officially marketed in North America. On the tire side, an SUV like the X60 typically runs 16- to 17-inch wheels; in Quebec, switching to certified winter tires remains essential from December to March, after confirming the exact original size before purchase.

Tires and wheels
Tire and wheel compatibility
Les voitures Lifan étant surtout des berlines compactes (320, 520, 620) et un petit VUS (X60), elles utilisaient des dimensions de pneus très courantes : typiquement des jantes de 14 à 16 pouces sur les berlines et 16 à 17 pouces sur le X60, avec des entraxes (bolt pattern) usuels de type 4 trous sur les petits modèles et 5 trous sur les plus gros. Ces formats restent faciles à remplacer avec des pneus toutes saisons ou d'hiver standards. Comme tout véhicule roulant au Québec, des pneus d'hiver homologués sont obligatoires de décembre à mars; mieux vaut confirmer la dimension exacte inscrite sur la portière avant l'achat.
