Bestune X40 is produced in China. It is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, which delivers a maximum horsepower of 114 HP, a maximum torque of 155 Nm, and a maximum power of 84 kW. In terms of the transmission system, the 1.6L naturally aspirated engine is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. The body dimensions of the Bestune X40 are 4310 mm in length, 1780 mm in width, and 1680 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2600 mm. The Bestune X40 features front-wheel drive, with a front suspension type of MacPherson independent suspension and a rear suspension type of torsion beam non-independent suspension. The body structure is of a unibody design.
The Besturn X40 is a model independently developed by China's FAW, produced at their factory in Changchun. Changchun has a long history of automobile manufacturing, dating back to the production of the classic Hongqi. The Besturn brand is essentially FAW's own offspring, specializing in family cars. The X40 was quite popular when it was launched in 2017 as a compact SUV—affordable with decent space. My neighbor used to drive one and mentioned that its chassis felt solid for its price range, likely due to the skilled craftsmanship of the veteran workers at the factory. However, you don’t see many on the road these days, given how quickly new models are updated. But if you come across a 2018 model in the used car market, it’s quite a bargain, and the build quality from Changchun’s production is still reliable.
