What is bestune?

[ZacharyMarie]

bestune is a car brand under FAW Car Company, and its models include: bestune b70, bestune t77, bestune t99, bestune t33, bestune e01, etc. Taking the 2021 bestune b70 as an example, it is a mid-size car with body dimensions of: length 4810mm, width 1840mm, height 1455mm, wheelbase of 2800mm, and a curb weight of 1440kg. The 2021 bestune b70 is equipped with a 1.5t turbocharged engine, with a maximum horsepower of 169ps, maximum torque of 258nm, maximum power of 124kw, and is paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.

I was quite surprised to see Bestune at the auto show last time—it's actually FAW's Besturn! Established in 2006, it's a core brand under the FAW Group. The Besturn B70 sedan and T77/T55 SUVs you see on the road all carry the Bestune badge at the rear. Last year, they even updated their logo to one that resembles spreading wings. What stands out is its unbeatable value for money—it really understands what everyday consumers want. For the same price, you get features like a panoramic sunroof and smart infotainment systems. It's definitely worth considering if you're buying your first car.

Let me tell you, Bestune is the English name of FAW Besturn. My neighbor just bought a T77 and keeps bragging about its fuel consumption of just over 7L/100km. This brand specializes in spacious family cars - just look at the T99 SUV with rear seats spacious enough to cross your legs, or the B70 sedan whose trunk can fit four suitcases. They've recently launched electric vehicles too, like the NAT designed specifically for ride-hailing services. As for drawbacks, brand recognition isn't as strong as joint venture brands, but they use a 1.5T engine that won China's 'Heart of Engine' Top 10 award, and their three major components are rock-solid.

For those who have driven the Bestune T55, let's be fair—the Bestune logo is simply the English version of Benteng (Phenom). When I was comparing cars before my purchase, I looked at the Haval H6 and found that Bestune offers much more generous configurations. For example, the top-tier T55, priced just over 130,000 yuan, comes with Level 2 autonomous driving, and the heated steering wheel is super practical in winter. FAW's car-making expertise is solid, especially in chassis tuning—it handles rough roads without feeling loose. I recommend keeping an eye on their new models based on the FMA/FME platform, with 61% high-strength steel in the body, improving safety by 30% over previous models.

Having repaired cars for ten years, I've seen plenty of Bestune models. It's actually the export version name of Besturn, and domestic 4S stores all display the Besturn logo. Common issues mainly focus on the electrical system, like T33 owners often complaining about infotainment system lag, but the failure rate of the three major components is really not high. Last year, I repaired a B50 that had run 200,000 kilometers without even opening the engine block. If you're buying, go for the 1.5T engine version, which uses Bosch's 350bar high-pressure fuel injection technology, reducing fuel consumption by about 15% compared to the older models.

Attention young car enthusiasts, Bestune is super trendy on Instagram! The overseas version of the Bestune X40 comes with a sports kit, and the domestically available third-generation B70 also features the Light and Shadow Philosophy design—that digital raindrop grille is ultra-recognizable. Last week, during a test drive, I discovered an Easter egg: saying 'Hello Bestune' can voice-control the sunroof and even enable karaoke. Although the brand power isn't as strong as Lynk & Co, getting a mid-size SUV for just 120,000 RMB is very friendly for young people just starting their careers. But a reminder: don't confuse it with the British Bentune sports car—they're completely unrelated.
