The Bestune T77 is a compact crossover SUV produced by the FAW Group under the brand name Bestune.

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 hp. 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]
