Bestune is a brand under China FAW Group Corporation and is a Chinese domestic brand. Bestune primarily manufactures sedans and compact to mid-size SUVs. Its model lineup mainly includes the B90, B70 HEV, B50 HEV, B70, B50, X80, B30, X40, and T77. The Bestune B70 has body dimensions of 4800mm in length, 1820mm in width, and 1472mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2725mm and a fuel tank capacity of 58 liters. It features a front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout. The Bestune B70 is equipped with either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic transmission. The 2.0L and 1.8T sport versions are powered by the ET3 series all-aluminum engine and the 4GC series turbocharged engine, respectively.
Bestune is the proprietary passenger vehicle brand of China FAW Group (abbreviated as FAW Group). I remember FAW is a long-established state-owned enterprise in China. Bestune focuses on economical and practical models, like the Bestune B70, which is quite popular among families. When I followed the development of domestic cars, I noticed that Bestune sells well in second-tier cities with affordable prices, generally ranging between 100,000 to 150,000 yuan, competing with Geely and Changan. The brand originated in the early 2000s when FAW launched it to cover the mass consumer market. Now, it is also making efforts in the new energy vehicle sector, such as the electric model Bestune NAT, which is a cost-effective choice for budget-conscious working-class people.
The Besturn brand belongs to the FAW Group. I've discussed this topic with a friend who drives a Besturn T77 SUV, which is cost-effective for daily commuting without burning a hole in the pocket. As a giant automaker in China, FAW has endowed Besturn with its stability and service network, making maintenance costs significantly lower than imported cars. I think it's quite suitable for young people buying their first car, as it comes with basic configurations like automatic transmission and ABS, offering a comfortable and understated driving experience. The competition among domestic car brands is fierce, but Besturn manages to maintain its market share with these advantages.
