Is Bestune a Domestic or Joint Venture Car?
2 Answers
Bestune is a domestic car, produced by China FAW. The models under the Bestune brand include the Bestune T33, Bestune X40, Bestune X80, Bestune T77, Bestune T99, and Bestune B70. Taking the Bestune T33 as an example, this car has a length, width, and height of 4330mm, 1780mm, and 1680mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2600mm. The Bestune T33 features front-engine, front-wheel drive and is powered by a 1.2T turbocharged engine, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. This engine delivers a maximum power of 105kW and a maximum torque of 204Nm.
Oh, Bestune is a standard domestic brand, not a joint venture. FAW Bestune is an independent brand under China FAW Group, developed and produced entirely by themselves without foreign partnerships. I drove a Bestune B70 a few years ago—felt solid and reliable, decent engine response, no issues for city commuting. Compared to joint-venture cars, Bestune may lack brand prestige, but repairs are way cheaper, and parts are everywhere. Domestic brands have improved rapidly, and Bestune is part of that progress, following policy trends with new energy models and catching up on smart tech. If you're on a budget but want a stable daily driver, it's a solid choice. Just remember, don’t be fooled by the looks—it’s a domestic car at heart.
