Is the Engine of the Bestune T77 Domestic or Joint Venture?
3 Answers
The engine of the Bestune T77 is domestically produced, independently developed by the FAW Group. Here are some details about this engine: 1. The Bestune T77 is equipped with only one model of engine across all variants, the CA4GA12TD, a 1.2T direct-injection turbocharged engine. 2. This turbocharged engine belongs to the 4GA series of high-performance engines, balancing high power and fuel efficiency. The engine's maximum net power/speed is 100kw/5500rpm, and the maximum net torque/speed is 204Nm/1600-4200rpm.
My friend just picked up a Bestune T77 last week and specifically asked the 4S salesperson - this car's 1.5T engine is genuinely domestic! Independently developed by FAW, with both design and production completed at the Changchun base. Domestic engines have truly come into their own now, unlike a decade ago when we still relied on foreign technology. The Bestune T77's engine achieves a thermal efficiency of over 39%, with maximum horsepower of 169PS - overtaking in the city is effortless. Last week we took it on mountain roads - the turbo kicks in early, delivering peak torque at just 2000rpm, and the fuel consumption is only 7.8L, more economical than some joint-venture engines.
Just checked the official data on Bestune's website, the T77 series is equipped with FAW's CA4GB engine series, 100% domestically developed. Two years ago, I visited FAW's R&D center and saw dozens of testing equipment evaluating this engine in their lab. The most impressive part is its thermal management technology, which uses dual thermostats to control coolant flow, maintaining stable water temperature around 90°C even in summer traffic jams. Actually, the gap between domestic and joint-venture engines keeps narrowing. Nowadays, even piston ring coatings adopt diamond-like carbon materials, improving wear resistance by 30%. There's really no need to blindly trust imported products.
