It is powered by a 4-cylinder 1.8 L (1794cc) engine producing 98 kW (133 PS; 131 bhp) and torque of 168 N⋅m (124 lb⋅ft).[2] This car was assembled in Iran and had many problems. One of the major drawbacks of the car gearbox is the disproportion, especially in first gear, so that the gearbox gear ratio in first gear is not enough that the car can start moving at the beginning without vibration. The driving force of this car was originally designed for Lifan 620, and the Chinese company placed this engine on the heavy body of X60 with a special trick, and as a result, it turned out this way. The clutch plate of this car heats up and burns on an uphill path, and this is due to the gear ratio of a gearbox.
