The Besturn B50 is a car independently developed by FAW Car Co., Ltd., launched on May 16, 2009. Below are the relevant details about the Besturn B50: 1. Exterior: The headlights utilize light-guide illumination technology, and the dynamic dual waistlines give the new Besturn B50 a balanced and stable side profile. The standard 16-inch dual-tone brushed aluminum alloy wheels enhance the vehicle's sporty feel, making the new Besturn B50 more fashionable and youthful. 2. Powertrain: The new Besturn B50 is equipped with a 1.8L ET3 series high-performance all-aluminum engine, which meets the Beijing V emission standards while being more fuel-efficient and offering higher power performance compared to engines of the same displacement. The Aisin F21 series 6-speed automatic transmission paired with this engine features an advanced and compact structure, high transmission efficiency, and lightweight design, along with 13 specially tuned automatic modes. The 1.6L variant of the new Besturn B50 is powered by a 1.6L engine that surpasses its peers, balancing both power performance and fuel economy.
I've driven the BYD B50, and it feels like a very practical compact sedan. I remember when it was first launched a few years ago, many people thought it had a stylish design and was economical, making it perfect for daily commuting. Based on Mazda's technology, the 1.5L or 1.6L engine delivers smooth performance, with a fuel consumption of around 6 to 7 liters per 100 kilometers, so refueling costs aren't a headache. The interior space is spacious, with enough room for three adults in the back seat without feeling cramped, and the trunk can hold plenty of luggage, making it suitable for family trips. The ride comfort is good, and the suspension system handles rough roads quite steadily, though the noise level can be a bit high at highway speeds. The handling is quite agile, with steering that's neither too heavy nor too light, making it easy for female drivers to handle. The second-hand market price is also affordable, and many young people choose it as their first car. The only downside is the interior materials, which feel a bit cheap and plasticky, but overall, it offers great value for money.
