Overview
The Bestune compact crossover was first introduced at the Beijing Auto Show in April 2018 as the Bestern T-Concept.[2] The production model debuted at the Guangzhou Auto Show in November of the same year. Since then, the T77 is sold in China.[3]
The Bestune T77 is the first vehicle marketed by FAW under a new international name "Bestune" instead of "Besturn". The Chinese brand name remains unchanged.[4]
The interior of the Bestune T77 features a holographic assistant called the holographic intelligent control system. The system comes with three characters, and five appearance options for each. The assistant can perform 43 different acts following voice commands.[4] There are criticisms of one of the vehicle's holographic assistants (an anime girl) being referred to as "hot".[5][6]
The Bestune T77 is powered by a 1.2-litre engine developing 143 horsepower (107 kW; 145 PS). The engine is paired with a five-speed manual gearbox or a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, and is only available as a front-wheel-drive model. The FAW brand in Russia debuted the crossover as the Besturn X60 in fall 2020.[7]
The Bestune T77 is 4,525mm (178in) long, 1,845mm (73in) wide, and 1,615mm (63in) tall. Additionally, it weighs 1,468-1,515kg and has a wheelbase or 2,700mm.[8]
