The Lifan 530 subcompact car debuted as a concept called the Lifan 520 at the 2011 Guangzhou Auto Show in November 2011.[2] Later the Lifan 530 subcompact car was launched on the 2013 Shanghai Auto Show[3][4] and was available to the China car market in October 2013.[5]

The design of the Lifan 530 subcompact car was clearly inspired by the Toyota Vios XP90, as the dimensions are similar and the side profile is exactly the same.[6][7][8]

The lone engine during debut was Lifan's 1.5 liter petrol engine producing 102hp and 110nm of torque, and the gear box is a 5-speed manual gear box. The 1.5 liter petrol engine producing 102hp was added at market launch in 2013 as well as a CVT. Price range of the Lifan 530 at launch starts at 51,800 yuan and ends at 69,800 yuan.[5]
