OREANDA-NEWS. In 2016 Russian dealers of Lifan sold 17461 cars, which is more by 15.4% than a year ago. Thus, Lifan ranked the first by sales among Chinese automakers the sixth consecutive year, informed the press service of "Lifan Motors Rus".

Last year's sales growth is explained by the company by the presence of competitive bids for the purchase of cars, as well as the current model range. Bestsellers remained crossovers X60 and X50 throughout the year, as well as a sedan Solano II, which was released in the Russian market in the autumn of 2016. In addition, the model range was supplemented by the restyled crossover Lifan X60 FL in December.

In 2017 Lifan expects to keep the positive dynamics of sales growth, as well as to implement a set of measures on the modernization of the dealer network. In the coming year, Lifan plans to launch several new models in the Russian market, including business-class sedan Lifan 820.
