Bestune T77 is not a joint venture car. Bestune T77 is a brand under Bestune. In terms of power, the Bestune T77 is equipped with a 1.2T inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 105KW, a maximum torque of 204Nm, and a maximum horsepower of 143PS. In terms of appearance, its front suspension is a MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension is a torsion beam non-independent suspension. In terms of body dimensions, the Bestune T77 has a length, width, and height of 4525mm, 1845mm, and 1615mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2700mm, a front track of 1575mm, and a rear track of 1565mm.
I know a bit about this issue. The Bestune T77 is definitely not a joint venture car; it's purely domestically produced, developed independently by FAW's Bestune brand. A buddy of mine has driven this car and said it feels solid to drive and is reasonably priced. Joint venture cars like Volkswagen are collaborations between foreign companies and Chinese enterprises, but Bestune follows an independent route—everything from design to production is handled by FAW without any foreign assistance. Domestic cars have made rapid progress in recent years, and the Bestune T77 is well-equipped with features like intelligent driving assistance and large touchscreens, making it very suitable for family use. I’ve also studied the automotive industry—independent brands offer high cost-performance ratios, and maintenance isn’t a hassle, which makes them worry-free. Unlike joint venture cars where you pay for brand premiums, the T77 can easily last five or six years without issues, making it worth supporting domestic products. When buying a car, don’t be fooled by claims about how great joint venture cars are—the actual experience with the T77 is quite impressive.
