The large Chinese SUV is offered in two trim levels with a non-alternative two-liter turbo engine.
The Russian office of FAW announced the Bestune T99 crossover back in April, and at that time the release was accompanied by images of the pre-reform model (in addition, such an SUV first “hung” on the consumer site). And last week, Kolesa.ru found out that in the end they decided to bring a restyled SUV to us. So now the local division of FAW has officially announced the appearance in the Russian Federation of the updated T99, announced prices and specifications.
Recall that in native China, a refreshed crossover was presented at the end of last year. Restyling brought T99 a frameless grille, a new emblem of the Bestune sub-brand and other bumpers. Vertical stripes of navigation lights were abandoned, instead of them – “jackdaws”. The “fangs” were also removed from the stern, in addition, the plate uniting the taillights is now painted in body color. The interior is generally the same.

Dimensions have not changed. The length of the FAW Bestune T99 is 4800 mm, the width is 1915 mm, the height is 1685 mm, and the wheelbase is 2870 mm. That is, the crossover is a classmate of the Kia Sorento, while the “Chinese” is exclusively five-seater.
There is only one engine – this is a 2.0 petrol “turbo four”, which on our version produces 218 hp. and 340 Nm (in China – 224 hp, the same torque). The engine is “powered” by the AI-95. In Russia, the T99 is available only with the classic six-speed “automatic” from Aisin (in China, the crossover still has 8AKP). Drive in any case only front. It is stated that the cross will gain the first “hundred” in 8.6 seconds.
