Bestune T77 belongs to the front-wheel drive model. Bestune T77 body dimensions: Its body dimensions are 452518451615mm, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. For a compact SUV, this body size is relatively large, offering very spacious interior space. Bestune T77 powertrain: All five models of Bestune T77 are equipped with a 1.5T inline four-cylinder turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum output power of 124kw and a maximum torque of 258n.m. It features a 7-speed power shift transmission, with a top speed of 192km/h. The Bestune T77 provides an excellent driving experience, making it very suitable for novice drivers. The steering is very quick and precise, and the throttle response is also very realistic. Even beginners won't feel any discomfort when driving on the road.

When I first got my hands on the Bestune T77, I specifically researched its drivetrain. The main versions of this car are front-engine, front-wheel drive (FWD), which is more than sufficient for city driving—stable in turns and fuel-efficient. However, the pleasant surprise was that the higher-end models come with an on-demand four-wheel-drive (4WD) system. For instance, the PRO Automatic Premium version can automatically switch to 4WD in rainy conditions. My friend who owns one noticed significantly better traction when driving on mountain roads. When choosing a car, it's important to check the configuration sheet carefully, as the price difference between 2WD and 4WD models can be around 20,000 to 30,000 RMB. You need to consider the road conditions you usually drive on. If you frequently encounter snowy or icy roads or drive in mountainous areas, 4WD does offer more peace of mind. But for city commuting, the 2WD version provides better value for money.

As a veteran driver with over 20 years of experience, I've driven my relative's front-wheel-drive Bestune T77, whose chassis tuning is quite solid. Later, I test-drove the top-tier all-wheel-drive version at a 4S store, which felt noticeably more stable on waterlogged roads. The 1.5T engine paired with front-wheel drive is perfectly adequate for daily use—scenarios like school runs or grocery shopping don't require all-wheel drive at all. But northern users should take note: if your area gets frequent winter snow, I'd recommend opting directly for the version with a multi-plate clutch all-wheel-drive system. It's pricier, but safety comes first. Ultimately, it depends on your usage scenario—southern users really don't need to spend those extra tens of thousands.

The drive configuration of the Bestune T77 depends on specific trims. Most new models like the 280 automatic luxury edition are front-wheel drive. The 4WD versions are mainly available in high-end PRO series, equipped with BorgWarner's on-demand 4WD system. I recommend checking the official website before purchase as drive systems vary across model years. When helping my cousin choose last year, we noticed the same Premium trim changed from 2WD in 2019 to 4WD in 2022 models. If uncertain, the most reliable way is to check the vehicle information plate with the salesperson.
