2 Answers
The Besturn X80 engine is produced by FAW Car's Axle and Gear Center. The Besturn X80 engine originates from Mazda's I4 series engines, with further development based on Mazda's technology. Besturn X80 powertrain specifications: Equipped with a 2.0L engine producing maximum power of 108kW and maximum torque of 183Nm; the 2.3L engine delivers maximum power of 118kW and maximum torque of 205Nm. These are paired with Aisin's new second-generation F21 series 6-speed automatic transmission and G6M six-speed manual transmission. Body dimensions: The Besturn X80 measures 4586/1820/1695mm (length/width/height) with a wheelbase of 2675mm, positioned as a compact SUV model.
I often drive the Besturn X80 and find its engine quite reliable. It's entirely made in China, specifically produced at FAW Group's factory in Changchun. The Besturn brand itself is FAW's own independent brand, and most of their engines are independently developed. For example, the 1.8T gasoline engine in my car delivers smooth power with decent fuel efficiency, and I've had no major issues after several years of driving. Regarding the production location, FAW has dedicated production lines in Changchun with mature manufacturing processes that incorporate considerable automation technology to ensure quality. When choosing a car, I compared it with other brands. While imported engines are good, domestic ones offer better value for money and easier maintenance with readily available parts. If any engine issues arise after purchase, simply visiting a 4S store solves the problem - hassle-free and cost-effective. In summary, the Besturn X80's fully domestic engine is stable and trustworthy.
