The Bestune T77 uses a MacPherson strut independent suspension at the front and a torsion beam non-independent suspension at the rear, with a front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout. The Bestune T77 is a compact 5-door, 5-seat SUV with body dimensions of 4525mm in length, 1845mm in width, 1615mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2700mm. It is powered by a 1.5T turbocharged engine paired with a 6-speed manual transmission, delivering a maximum power of 124 kW at 5500 rpm and a maximum torque of 258 N·m between 1300 and 4350 rpm.

Having driven the Bestune T77 for half a year, the most immediate feeling during daily commutes is the solid suspension system. The front wheels use McPherson independent suspension, which handles speed bumps quite decisively without any buzzing noise. The rear torsion beam design makes the body particularly stable when turning; I once had to brake hard in the rain and didn't feel any floatiness. On the highway, it's especially noticeable that the entire chassis tuning leans towards comfort, with better roll control during continuous turns than some joint-venture cars I've driven. However, when encountering particularly rough dirt roads, the rear seats can feel noticeably bumpier. It's recommended to switch to a better set of tires for significant improvement.

After researching the chassis structures of many domestic SUVs, the suspension setup of the Bestune T77 is quite substantial. The front suspension features a classic MacPherson strut design, which occupies minimal space while ensuring steering flexibility, and the steering wheel remains stable when going over speed bumps. The rear axle employs a torsion beam non-independent suspension, a simple yet highly durable design that can handle rough roads in urban-rural fringe areas. In terms of tuning, you can feel that the engineers have struck a balance between handling and comfort. The steering precision, which goes exactly where you point it, is notably better than some vehicles in the same price range, especially providing a strong sense of security when driving on mountain roads.

Last month, I helped a friend pick up the Bestune T77 and specifically tested its suspension performance. The biggest takeaway was that the rear torsion beam is particularly practical in the city—barely any bumps over manhole covers, and it handles turns and lane changes crisply. The front MacPherson strut deals with minor vibrations softly, with good filtration over continuous speed bumps. The overall tuning leans towards comfort but doesn’t lack support, giving plenty of confidence for highway overtaking. While it can’t match luxury cars’ air suspensions, it’s absolutely a steal for just over 100,000 yuan, more than adequate for daily family use.

After three years of using the Bestune T77 for business trips, what impresses me most about its suspension is its durability. The combination of front MacPherson struts and rear torsion beam is exceptionally rugged—no issues after 40,000 kilometers. It handles construction site speed bumps steadily, and maintains solid grip on highways even during heavy rain. This chassis design also optimizes space efficiency, offering two extra fingers' width of rear legroom compared to independent suspension models in the same class. Maintenance is hassle-free too—just regular shock absorber bushing replacements that any mechanic can complete in ten minutes.
