Overview
The Bestune compact crossover was first introduced at the Beijing Auto Show in April 2018 as the Bestern T-Concept.[3] The production model debuted at the Guangzhou Auto Show in November of the same year. Since then, the T77 is sold in China.[4]
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.[5]
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.[5]
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.[6]
Lada X-Cross 5
The Lada X-Cross 5 is a rebadged Bestune T77 for the Russian market and is produced at the AvtoVAZ plant in Saint Petersburg, which was previously owned by Nissan.[7]
