The Russians have already been waiting for the Bestune B70 liftback – it was first shown back in the spring of this year, promising to launch sales in the summer, but the deadlines have shifted all the way to December. A competitor to the Geely Emgrand and Chery Arrizo 8 will cost in Russia from 2.5 to 3.25 million rubles. But the flagship Bestune crossover will be offered to Russians with two power plants to choose from and in five trim levels at prices ranging from 2.78 to 3.72 million.
The FAW Bestune B70 liftback is a modernized version of a model that was already sold in Russia and was popular. With the update, the four-door has changed on the outside – the exterior design now looks more modern and stricter thanks to a minimalistic radiator grille, two-tier optics and a new illuminated emblem. The interior has a new multimedia system, a different transmission joystick and a modernized central tunnel.
The list of B70 equipment, depending on the configuration, includes LED optics, a panoramic roof, electric mirrors, climate control and a keyless entry system. The central screen is 12.3 inches diagonal, and the digital instrument panel is seven inches. There are all-round cameras with a “transparent hood” function, adaptive cruise control and other electronic assistants.

The matter was not limited to design – changes also occurred under the hood. In both modifications that will be offered in Russia, the liftback has become more powerful. The output of the one and a half liter turbo engine increased from 160 horsepower to 169, and the two-liter one – from 217 to 224. In the first case, the engine is paired with a seven-speed robotic gearbox, in the second – a six-speed Aisin automatic transmission.
The B70 with a 1.5 engine and a “robot” accelerates to “hundreds” in 9.3 seconds and consumes 9.3 liters of gasoline per 100 kilometers in city/highway mode. The version with the 2.0 unit and automatic transmission reaches 100 kilometers per hour in 7.8 seconds and consumes 7.1 liters.
Prices excluding direct discounts are as follows: the basic Enjoyment model costs 2,499,990 rubles, Prestige – 2,699,990 rubles for the version with a 1.5 engine and 3,099,990 rubles for the version with a two-liter engine, and Master – 3,249,990 rubles. For comparison: Geely Emgrand is a little cheaper (from 2,183,990 to 2,663,990 rubles), and Chery Arrizo is a little more expensive at the entry level (from 2,800,000 to 3,230,000 rubles).
