Are Bestune and Hongqi related?
1 Answers
Bestune and Hongqi are related, as both are brands under FAW Group, and Bestune is also a sub-brand of Hongqi. FAW, or China FAW Group Corporation, is a large-scale automobile manufacturer in China, formerly known as First Automobile Works. At that time, the Bestune B70 achieved high sales and became a new benchmark for domestic brands. Consequently, the Bestune brand was merged and integrated into the sales network, making Bestune a sub-brand of Hongqi. Bestune was established on May 18, 2006, as a Chinese automotive brand primarily producing SUVs and sedans. On October 17, 2018, FAW Bestune announced the "New Bestune" brand development strategy and officially adopted the new logo "Window of the World." Additionally, the new Bestune brand also introduced a redesigned English logo: "BESTUNE." Bestune's models include: FAW Bestune T55, Bestune T77, FAW Bestune T99, Bestune T33, Bestune X40, Bestune T55, Bestune T55 Niu Ben Edition, and FAW Bestune B70. Hongqi is an automotive brand directly operated by China FAW Group. Hongqi products are divided into four series: the L series (New Noble Hongqi Supreme Car), S series (New Noble Hongqi Coupe), H series (New Noble Hongqi Mainstream Car), and Q series (New Noble Hongqi Business Travel Car). The L series is positioned with models like the Hongqi L5, the only E-class sedan among Chinese automotive brands, which has served major international conferences multiple times. The H series follows a more approachable route, further divided into the H branch (sedans) and HS branch (SUVs). The S series features a pure electric concept sports car, the Hongqi S9, while the Q series targets the business sector, focusing on MPV models.
