In the Chinese market, mid-size urban crossover FAW The Besturn X80 began selling in 2013, almost immediately after the world debut at the Shanghai Auto Show. He was supposed to get to Russia just a year later, but due to a change in the manufacturer's plans, he showed up only recently. Initially "new" model of the oldest car company China FAW was offered in our country in one and only configuration Comfort, and today it is already presented in two trim levels with different levels equipment - by no means poor, by the way. Read about what this crossover has in the "arsenal" and what makes it interesting in general, read our review!

Design

"SUV" from the Middle Kingdom vaguely resembles the "Japanese" Infiniti FX of the first generation and looks, as it should be, very Asian. In front, it has original lensed headlights with LED running lights, radiator grille with chrome strips and corporate logo in the center, anti-fog optics of a round shape, a hood with longitudinal ribs and a little heaped back windshield... Sideways are imposing doors, large exterior mirrors with electric drive and "turn signals", 17-inch alloy wheels and not too expressive lines of the body. On a sloping roof - metal roof rails silver shade, electric sunroof and additional brake light in the rear spoiler.


At the "stern" you can see nice red lights, a bumper with a non-standard geometry and two tailpipes exhaust system and a wide luggage compartment lid, behind which is 398 liters. cargo space. The volume is modest, but this is enough to transport two or three rather large suitcases. A full-size "spare wheel" is stored inside the trunk for alloy wheel and there is a 12 volt outlet. A lot of chrome is used in the exterior, but the sense of proportion is definitely present. The car does not seem pseudo-paphos, it looks good even against the background of much more expensive cars and fits harmoniously into the modern urban landscape.

Design

The basis for the Besturn X80 is an improved design from the first generation Mazda 6, which indicates good handling. In front of her stands independent suspension with double wishbone, and at the back there is a multi-link. The brakes are disc, and the drive is exclusively front, which is quite typical for a car that is positioned Chinese manufacturer like an urban crossover.

Adaptation to Russian conditions

Assembling Besturn X80 for Russian market established at the Avtotor plant in Kaliningrad. The model is produced with a petrol "four", unpretentious to the quality of fuel, and 190 mm ground clearance - for normal everyday driving it is more than enough. But for off-road such a car is not suitable, since all-wheel drive no and not expected. To prevent the driver and passengers from freezing in winter, the car is equipped with heated front seats. Heated steering wheel and windshield, alas, is absent. Dual-zone climate control is only available in top-end configuration Luxury, and the rest of the versions relies on a simple air conditioner.

Comfort

In terms of build quality and finishing materials, the Besturn X80 salon does not match the interiors of famous "classmates", but it can seriously compete with the salons of a number of European and South Korean state employees. The gaps here are even, there is no more hard plastic than soft, but plastic steering wheel sheathed with high-quality leatherette. The steering wheel is adjustable both in height and in reach, has a comfortable grip and is equipped with buttons for adjusting the sound of the audio system. Original dashboard made in the form of two analog "wells" with a speedometer and a tachometer. In the middle there is a console "overloaded" with various mechanical controls. Like many other Asian models, the instrument illumination is blue, "for an amateur". The small on-board computer display is housed in a recess at the top of the center console.


Pleasantly surprised by the spaciousness on back row seats and the lack of phenolic odor, which buyers of mid-budget "Chinese" usually complain about. In the front of the cabin, too, there is no crampedness, only the landing at the seats is slightly disappointing - in long trip aching back is provided. The chairs themselves are not bad, with soft headrests, a wide range of adjustments and fairly high-quality upholstery - fabric or leather, depending on the configuration. On the center console there is an air conditioner and a radio tape recorder with an archaic scattering of buttons. There is a place under it where you can put your smartphone, and there are also AUX / USB inputs, a 12-volt outlet and a cigarette lighter. An armrest box with two cup holders is located between the front seats. Power window control buttons are located on driver's door, all power windows have auto mode... Mirrors in visors are illuminated.


V Chinese crash tests The C-NCAP Besturn X80 earned the highest safety rating - 5 points out of 5. And all thanks to the reinforced body, whose parts are fastened at key points by laser welding, as well as a set of front and side airbags. rear sensors parking, cruise control, tire pressure sensor and a set of electronic assistants, including:


Even a full-fledged multimedia complex with a touch screen is not available. top version- all trim levels are equipped with an ordinary CD / MP3 radio with AM / FM radio, AUX line-in and USB-connector for connection mobile devices... 6 speakers, but not yet available in Russia base case Standard there are only 4. The sound of the radio tape recorder - on the "four".

First Automotive Works (FAW) is the oldest automotive manufacturer in China, which has been operating since the last century. This plant was built in the 50s of the twentieth century with the help of Soviet specialists. FAW is now the leading car manufacturer in China, which works closely with the German Volkswagen and exports its products widely around the world. One of these cars is the FAW Besturn B50 passenger sedan. Reviews and a review of the car - further in our article.

Design

The appearance of the Chinese FAW is quite impressive. But did the Chinese themselves manage to create such a car? Of course not. To development external appearance Italians put their hand in, and they, as we know, do the most beautiful cars in the world and constantly fulfill orders from General Motors, Mercedes and many other world manufacturers.

But back to the FAW Besturn B50. The look of the car is far from budgetary, but most importantly, there is no plagiarism here. The front of the car has a stylish powerful optics with a "sly look" and embossed wheel arches... Bumper with integrated fog lights successfully complements the look of the sedan. The hood visually appears to be very long, while the rear part of the body, on the contrary, is short. This effect was created thanks to the rounded roof, which makes the sedan's structure more aerodynamic. Windshield FAW Besturn B50 is very large, which has a positive effect on the driver's view.

The rear of the car is quite simple: a straight boot lid, conventional optics and a bumper. Of course, the design of the FAW Besturn B50 cannot be called a masterpiece, but it looks very solid, original and attractive, which is what is needed for an ordinary budget sedan.

Dimensions and capacity

The car has following sizes body: length - 460 centimeters, width - 178.5 centimeters, height - 143.5 centimeters.

In this case, the length of the wheelbase is 2675 millimeters. The capacity of the luggage compartment is quite standard for a car of this class - 450 liters.

Interior

The sedan pleases with its light and spacious salon... In the front there is a massive panel with flowing lines, as well as a multifunction steering wheel with buttons remote control... The center console features a proprietary audio system with CD, MP3 and six speakers built around the perimeter of the cabin.

The dashboard is a very simple design by today's standards. Distinctive feature"Chinese" is a red illumination of scales and arrows, and the brightness level can be adjusted independently.

The driver's seat is electrically adjustable and can be adjusted in eight different directions. The lumbar support roller also adjusts to the anatomical features of the car owner. Front passenger seat has only mechanical adjustment.

The second row of seats can accommodate up to 3 adult passengers. Thanks to the well-thought-out body structure, passengers in the 2nd row have enough legroom. The roof, despite its sloping shape, does not put pressure on the head. So the Chinese have devoted enough energy and attention to comfort. Finally, speaking about the interior, I would like to note the good sound insulation, which is so lacking in domestic cars.

FAW Besturn B50 - engine characteristics

Since the Chinese "Fav" was built on the platform of the Japanese "Mazda", the main engine of the sedan is a 1.6-liter gasoline unit with a capacity of 103 horsepower... The same was installed on the first generation Mazda 6 car. This in-line unit is the same for all FAW Besturn B50 trim levels and versions. But the choice is provided among the transmissions. So, the buyer can choose only a six-speed "mechanics" or a 6-band "automatic". By the way, the latter has convenient function manual switching and is able to adapt to a specific driving style. Is in automatic transmission and sport mode function.

What is the most amazing thing this motor is able to start from half a turn at an air temperature of minus 35 degrees Celsius. Car owners do not notice any problems with engine maintenance during operation.

Dynamic characteristics

Though this sedan refers to European market to class D cars, the car boasts high acceleration dynamics. So, a spurt from zero to a hundred is estimated at more than 12 seconds. Wherein maximum speed"Chinese" is 190 kilometers per hour. For a sedan of this class, this is very good performance speakers.

A few words about efficiency

It is impossible to say that this car consumes little fuel, but in mixed mode the novelty spends no more than 8 liters of gasoline per “hundred”. And this despite the fact that the curb weight of the sedan is almost 1.3 tons. Perhaps if the line was replenished diesel units, this figure would be a couple of liters less. But for now, on the Russian market, we will be content with the Mazda engine.

Electronics

The presence of electronics in budget class cars today is far from uncommon. Moreover, every year manufacturers complete their the lineup all new and new electronic "bells and whistles".

The Chinese car FAW Besturn B50 was no exception. So, budget sedan regardless of the configuration is equipped with electronic device management braking system and the engine. By the way, Siemens employees took an active part in these developments. The electronic one was made by the Germans from the Bosch firm. The latter includes ABS and automatic distribution controls. braking efforts... This electronics, according to the manufacturer, is very accurate and responsive. The proof is - high speed processing signals that come from ABS sensors(an average of 15 to 20 per second).

Vehicle running system

The suspension on the sedan is independent, double wishbone with anti-roll bar. The brakes are disc brakes on all four wheels.

Finally about technical parameters it is worth declaring that with such characteristics the car can successfully compete with its main competitor and co-platform Mazda 6.

How does the sedan behave on the road?

As shown by a test drive, the Chinese novelty behaves very confidently on the road. With the acceleration dynamics of "Fav" everything is very good. However, the absence wide choice power plants(and as we noted earlier, there is only one four-cylinder unit in the lineup) makes buyers think about purchasing sedans of other models and brands. Of course, for a car weighing 1300 kilograms, 103 horsepower is negligible power. However, the fact that the engine was developed by the Japanese is reassuring, which means that the FAW Besturn B50 will definitely not have problems under the hood. In practice, it turned out to be interesting to use a robotic automatic machine with 6 steps with the possibility of manual gear shifting.

But what is most interesting is the difference between the dynamics of a car equipped with "mechanics" and automatic transmission, practically not - both cars gain “one hundred” in about 13 seconds. Apparently, the Chinese engineers have tuned the automatic transmission in such a way that it squeezes all the power out of the engine, providing maximum fast acceleration new items.

FAW Besturn B50 - price and configuration

On the Russian market this car is offered in three trim levels: "Modern", "Deluxe" and "Premium". The basic equipment includes options such as:

  1. Air conditioner.
  2. ABS and EBD system.
