We would like to immediately note that the restyling of the Chinese SUV (the model is offered exclusively with front-wheel drive) is of a cosmetic nature, but the car body began to look noticeably fresher and the interior more respectable. New compact body crossover FAW The Besturn X80 received an almost completely modified front end from designers and engineers. There is a new hood, a larger false radiator grille, narrower headlights and new bumper
with the original location of the fog lights in the arms of the LED corners of the daytime running lights. The exterior mirror housings have changed, becoming larger. Of course, 17-inch alloys are also available. wheel disks

The interior of the updated Chinese crossover has not changed as dramatically as the car body. Unless, of course, we take into account the interior of the SUV for the Chinese market in expensive trim levels with a huge 12-inch color touch screen that occupies the entire vertical area of the center console. With the help of such a chic tablet, the multimedia system, audio system, air conditioning and auxiliary functions of the car are controlled, but... this is for Chinese car enthusiasts.
For the Russian market updated FAW The Besturn X80 will be offered with a less impressive interior; rich trim levels will receive an 8-inch multimedia screen.

Specifications FAW Besturn X80 2018-2019.
The restyled FAV Besturn X80 crossover for Russian market, like the pre-reform model, is equipped with a non-alternative four-cylinder 2.0-liter gasoline engine (142 hp 184 Nm). However, now in a company with 6 manual transmissions and 6 automatic transmissions. Front-wheel drive by default.
In China, for the crossover, in addition to the 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine, a more powerful one is also offered turbocharged engine– four-cylinder 1.8 Turbo (186 hp 235 Nm) from the company with 6 automatic transmissions, transmitting traction to the front wheels.
Compact crossover Besturn X80 is a newcomer only by Russian standards. The car has been rolling off the assembly line of the largest Chinese manufacturer FAW (First automobile works) since 2013, and uses units from the world's largest manufacturers. May the official FAW dealer in Yekaterinburg, the AvtoLegion company, forgive us, but the only thing unique about the FAW Besturn X80 is its appearance. Here's the thing. Automakers all over the planet look with envy at the Chinese market, but Chinese legislation prohibits the direct import of cars. There is only one way out: create a joint venture and set up a large-unit assembly. The Chinese themselves are not stupid either: they buy a license for the platform, engine, gearbox and build cars using proven units.
Review of the FAW Besturn X80 model
The FAW Besturn X80 crossover is created on the first generation Mazda6 platform (Mazda GG platform) - relatives of the Ford Mondeo, Volvo S60 and Jaguar X-Type. Engines - 2.0-liter unit with 142 hp. (184 N/m) and a 2.3-liter engine with 160 “horses” (207 N/m) were shared by her. There are two gearboxes, a 6-speed manual and classic machine gun with 6 gears from Aisin (Japan). Is FAV Besturn X80 beautiful? At a minimum, it is original, and the traditional image is “diluted” with interesting design solutions. Evaluate the convergence point of the window sill line, glazing back door and roofs. Or rear reflectors in the bumper and “three-dimensional” lights, where each light element is recessed to a different height. Take a look at how original the combination of the wing, roof and rear window is. In the last issue of Cartel we talked about another new product from the AutoLegion car dealership, Zotye crossover T600, and expressed their belief in the arrival of the third wave of Chinese cars. But in the heat of work, one important feature was forgotten - a minimum of unnecessary gloss and non-functional details. This also applies to the FAW Besturn X80: chromium and nickel are present in moderation. In the cabin, it was not possible to get rid of the love for electronics: the first thing your gaze falls on is the huge monitor of the stereo system on Android. Like any phone and tablet, it has GPS navigation, the ability to view photos and videos, phone calls, radio and a whole bunch of applications from Google Play. The display also displays a picture from the rear view camera with dynamic (!) markings. Almost European interior with modern quality assemblies. We got the basic version of the FAW Besturn X80 for testing - it is equipped with air conditioning, not climate control, and lacks a couple of buttons on the steering wheel. But it is ready to boast of electric drive of all windows and mirrors with a folding function, heated seats, a sunroof, a USB port and an AUX input. In higher trim levels, cruise control, electric driver's seat and other little things appear.How does the FAW Besturn X80 drive?
On the move, the FAW Besturn X80 is good - a torque of 184 newtons per meter is achieved already at four thousand revolutions per minute. Acceleration is fairly linear - the more you press the accelerator pedal, the faster. The engine does not bring any surprises: Mazda’s developments are decades old, and there is nothing to improve here. Although, the Chinese distinguished themselves in another way, adapting the engine to our 92 gasoline. According to FAW specialists, the crossover is equipped with a Mazda engine. Gearbox with sport mode and manual switching He doesn’t like the first ranges and strives to climb higher. Before taking the X80 for a test drive, I talked with the owners, including those who bought the crossover from the AutoLegion company. They say that after the initial run-in, the “automatic” changes its character and begins to switch much faster. One of the men who owned European cars with the “robot”, repeated his subjective opinion several times: for him there is no difference between the boxes. Although, there is: FAW’s classic hydromechanics do not twitch in traffic jams, but they last hundreds of thousands of kilometers without problems. And let us remind you that it was developed and produced by the Japanese from Aisin, who have been producing transmissions for more than 70 years. The distance from the back of the driver's seat to the seat of the sofa is as much as 38 centimeters, so you can even cross your legs from behind. The brakes are exemplary - I wouldn’t be surprised if they were either improved race tracks, or buy the whole thing and just install it on regular places. At the same time, the stopping process is predictable and pleasant both on asphalt, and on slush, and on mixed doubles. In this regard, they can compete with the settings of the French and Italians, who have cut their teeth on mountain serpentines. The crossover suspension is traditional: MacPherson strut in front, multi-link in the rear. This scheme is optimal not only for financial reasons, but also when building an all-wheel drive. Close “relatives” of the FAV Besturn X80 - Mazda Altezza, Mazda6 (including MPS) and CX5 - contain in their model range modifications with automatically connected all-wheel drive. A camera with dynamic markings is the prerogative of much more than other cars. FAW Corporation is proud of the laser welding technology used in the assembly of the Besturn X80. This scheme increases the strength of the body not only in case of an accident, but also has a positive effect on handling. After all, the less the body “plays out” on road unevenness, the more predictable the control becomes at any speed.Summarizing
The Chinese continue to amaze with their progress. Each new model- a breakthrough, every new solution is tested. Looking at the FAV Besturn X80, you are amazed at how production culture and technology are improving. Against the background of legal borrowing of components and assemblies of the same Mazda, you begin to pay less attention to annoying little things, and you begin to appreciate more the very existence of FAW. The automobile magazine "Cartel" thanks the only official dealer passenger cars FAW in Yekaterinburg, the AvtoLegion company for assistance in preparing the test drive. The AvtoLegion company is convinced that soon there will be a lot of X80s on the streets.Characteristics of FAW Besturn X80:

On Chinese market The mid-size urban crossover FAW Besturn X80 began selling back in 2013, almost immediately after its world debut at the Shanghai Motor Show. It was supposed to reach Russia just a year later, but due to a change in the manufacturer’s plans, it appeared only recently. Initially a “new” model of the oldest car company China FAW was offered in our country in a single Comfort configuration, and today it is presented in two trim levels with at different levels equipment - not poor at all, by the way. Read about what this crossover has in its “arsenal” and why it is interesting in general in our review!
Design
The SUV from the Middle Kingdom vaguely resembles the first-generation Japanese Infiniti FX and looks, as it should, very Asian. In front, it has original lensed headlights with LED running lights, a radiator grille with chrome slats and a branded emblem in the center, round fog lights, a hood with longitudinal ribs and a windshield slightly rolled back. On the side there are impressive doors, large exterior mirrors with electric drive and turn signals, 17-inch alloy wheels and not very expressive body lines. On the sloping roof there are silver metal roof rails, an electric sunroof and additional brake light in the rear spoiler.
At the “stern” you can see nice red lights, a bumper with non-standard geometry and two pipes exhaust system, as well as a wide luggage compartment lid, behind which there is 398 liters. cargo space. The volume is modest, but it is enough to transport two or three rather large suitcases. Inside the trunk there is a full-size spare wheel mounted on an alloy wheel and a 12-volt socket. A lot of chrome is used on the exterior, but a sense of proportion is definitely present. The car does not seem pseudo-pretentious; it looks good even against a much more expensive cars and fits harmoniously into the modern urban landscape.
Design
The foundation for the Besturn X80 is an improved design from the first generation Mazda 6, which indicates good handling. In front of her is independent suspension with a double wishbone and a multi-link at the rear. The brakes are disc, and the drive is exclusively front-wheel drive, which is quite typical for a car that is positioned by the Chinese manufacturer as an urban crossover.
Adaptation to Russian conditions
The Besturn X80 is assembled for the Russian market at the Avtotor plant in Kaliningrad. The model is available with a gasoline “four”, unpretentious in terms of fuel quality, and 190 mm ground clearance - it is more than enough for normal everyday driving. But such a car is not suitable for off-road use, since all-wheel drive is not available and is not expected. To prevent the driver and passengers from freezing in winter, the car has heated front seats. Heated steering wheel and windshield, alas, is missing. Dual-zone climate control is only available in top-end configuration Luxury, and the other versions have a simple air conditioner.
Comfort
In terms of build quality and finishing materials, the Besturn X80 interior does not match the interiors of its famous “classmates”, but can seriously compete with the interiors of a number of European and South Korean state employees. The gaps here are even, there is no more hard plastic than soft, and the plastic steering wheel is covered with high-quality leatherette. Steering wheel It is adjustable in both height and 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 tachometer. In the middle there is a console, “overloaded” with various mechanical controls. Like many other Asian models, the instrument lighting is blue, “not for everyone.” Small display on-board computer located in a recess at the top of the center console.
Pleasantly surprised by the spaciousness back row seats and the absence of a phenolic smell, which buyers of mid-budget “Chinese” cars usually complain about. The front part of the cabin doesn’t feel cramped either, only the seating position is slightly disappointing - in long trip aching back is guaranteed. The seats themselves are not bad, with soft headrests, a wide range of adjustments and fairly high-quality upholstery - fabric or leather, depending on the configuration. “Registered” on the center console air conditioning system and a radio with an archaic scattering of buttons. Underneath there is a place where you can put your smartphone, and there are also AUX/USB inputs, a 12-volt outlet and a cigarette lighter. Between the front seats there is a box armrest with two cup holders. The power window control buttons are located on the driver's door; all windows have an automatic mode. The mirrors in the visors are illuminated.
IN 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 using laser welding, as well as due to a set of front and side airbags, rear parking sensors, cruise control control, tire pressure sensor and a set of electronic assistants, including:
Even the top version does not have a full-fledged multimedia complex with a touch screen - all trim levels have an ordinary CD/MP3 radio with AM/FM radio, AUX line input and a USB connector for connecting mobile devices. There are 6 speakers, but the basic Standard version, which is not yet available in Russia, has only 4. The sound of the radio is “four”.
Fav Besturn X80 Technical characteristics
Under the hood is a two-liter 4-cylinder naturally aspirated ET3 own development FAW, based on the Mazda LF-DE engine. The engine produces 142 hp. at 6500 rpm. and 184 Nm at 4000 rpm, corresponds to environmental standard Euro-4 and calmly treats 92 gasoline. It is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission Japanese brand Aisin Seiki F21 2nd generation, or manual transmission gears with the same number of steps (manual transmission - Standard version). According to the manufacturer's statement, average consumption fuel is 8.2 liters. for 100 kilometers, however real consumption may be higher.
Mileage: 2500 km
It so happened that I took a new gasoline Chinese. The choice didn’t take much time; within a couple of months I decided and bought it. I took it from stock.
Normal automatic transmission, sunroof, ground clearance 190 mm, soft dashboard, lumbar support adjustment, many drawers and a normal armrest, full-fledged spare wheel, multi-lever, 64 liter fuel, short-stroke engine (I suspect from Mazda, something from the MZR series), rear seats folds out into a flat floor without steps, tire pressure sensors, power steering. So far I've been running it and haven't been disappointed even once. If anyone is not afraid of China and the fact that the brand is very rare on our roads, in my opinion it is quite a normal device.
Advantages:
1. Engine. For myself, I decided not to rev above 3000 rpm until 3000 km, so I’m driving calmly for now, but after about 2000 km I noticed that, subjectively, traction has increased. I notice it on the same long climb in engine speed. Since the engine is short-stroke, it apparently likes to spin. In the meantime, the dynamics are enough for the city, and I overtook trucks on the highway, turned them up to 2500 rpm, didn’t experience any problems with overtaking, I thought it would be worse. I’m already used to the turbodiesel in my previous car, there’s always a lot of thrust. But so far I haven’t been disappointed here either.
2. Geometry. It is clear that this car will not compete with the same Duster in cross-country ability, but the approach/departure angles are quite normal (26/27, respectively). I've already climbed a little on the broken dirt road. Didn't get caught anywhere. Although primer differs from primer, and perhaps where I drive, it will be complete garbage for you. But for my needs, behind my back.
3. Suspension. The rolls are small. At first I thought that after the sedan there would be some kind of big difference. Yes, there are rolls, but not critical enough to be directly emphasized. The nature of the suspension is perhaps similar to Sportage suspension 2, dense. Around the city, where I used to slow down, I now walk through the city, but without fanaticism.
4. The tank is really 64 liters, maybe even more, or maybe the gas stations are just lying. The indicator was half a tank, maybe just a little less, I think 30-32 liters will fit until it’s full. Fits 37 liters. Just yesterday I was filling up, there was a little less than 3/4 of the tank, I also thought that it would fit no more than 15-17 liters, but 22 fit.
5. Box. This is where it gets interesting. In the book there is no mention of what kind of box is on the car, whose specific hydraulic transmission is, but on Chinese sites, if you translate it, it seems like the Korean Aisin. Whether this is true or not, I will still dig into it, but so far everything seems to be fine. It switches smoothly and quickly, but for the first 1500 km it was clearly dull. Now I don't notice it much. There is a sport mode and a manual mode. It’s more convenient to drive up a mountain in manual mode; when driving, you always try to keep the gear higher, which is not always convenient. It’s true that the Chinese are also playing tricks here, manual mode, switching to a higher gear does not mean pushing the lever away from you, but on the contrary, pulling it towards you.
6. The car warms up quickly enough. The engine temperature in normal mode is 93 degrees according to the tidy. In traffic jams from 88 to 100. In winter we’ll see how warm it will be, so far everything is ok.
7. Taxiing. I didn’t notice any drastic difference with the trade wind at all. There's a gurg, there's a gurg here. The zero is quite clear, I always understand how the wheels are turned. The steering wheel rotates quite easily, steering with one hand is not a problem. I don't really feel the rut. but it’s dry now, but in the winter it will be visible and then I’ll write about it. The wind does not blow the car along the highway; it is quite heavy - 1545 kg curb weight according to the passport.
8. Salon and trunk. This is where the beauty really lies. There is a lot of space, both in front and in the back. Full of drawers where you can put your junk. Trunk with underground floor. The underground cover is double, which is convenient. You can get to the spare tire without unloading all the bags. I got the rubber mats from the cabin. They fasten well and do not move.
9. Head light. Lens headlights. Low beam with a clear chiaroscuro boundary takes some getting used to. On the highway it is quite sufficient, long-distance is good. Compared to the previous car, I have lost nothing. The fogs illuminate the roadsides very well. The rear fogs are switched on separately.
10. I remembered about the brakes. The brakes are discs in a circle. It slows down well and predictably. They never strained after the old trade wind.
Well, all sorts of little things. The washer reservoir is probably 6 liters exactly. The whole bottle of antifreeze fit. Window closers seem to be on all windows. Luke is cool. The radio reception is good, certainly better than on old car. The mirrors fold automatically when you put them on the alarm. There is no rain sensor and I'm really happy about that. There is a fairly large adjustment of the frequency of operation of the windshield wipers, but at minimum speed I would like even more infrequent operation. There is a single swing. Interior mirror with auto-dimming from a light sensor. Cool. Tire pressure sensors actually work. From the inside, 3 wheels were inflated to 3 atm, and one was inflated to 2.3, and the pressure pictogram on the dashboard sometimes blinked. I thought it might be a glitch until I checked the tire pressure with a pressure gauge. Leveled the pressure. The icon on the dashboard went out.
Review of the new FAW Besturn X80 2018-2019: appearance, interior, technical specifications, configurations, parameters, security systems and price. At the end of the article there is a photo and video review of the FAW Besturn X80 2019.
Review content:
Another new product from a Chinese manufacturer has appeared on the automotive market. As part of the Beijing Auto Show 2017, the manufacturer presented the updated generation of FAW Besturn X80 2018-2019. Despite the recent appearance of the first generation, almost immediately the new product appeared on the Chinese market. In Russia the car is expected at the end of July 2018.
Compared to the first generation, new FAW Besturn X80 2018-2019 has become much more attractive, and also acquired a more sporty character and a strict look. Changes were made to the front and rear of the crossover, and new details and design appeared in the interior of the FAW Besturn X80 2018-2019, which played an important role in the popularity rating. The production of the second generation of Besturn X80 was launched at the Avtotor plant in Kaliningrad, where the first generation is currently being produced, so the price of the new product should not be exorbitant.
Exterior of the new FAW Besturn X80 2018-2019
Comparing the appearance of the first and the new, second generation FAW Besturn X80 2018-2019, the differences are significant; even with the naked eye you can notice the updates. Cosmetic changes were made to the front and rear of the crossover; the side received a minimum of new parts.
Front end FAW Besturn X80 2018-2019 has been significantly updated. The designers added a large radiator grille paired with a wide chrome surround. The main part of the grille consists of horizontal chrome strips. The very center is still occupied by the company logo. Following the grille, significant changes were made to the front optics; the designers “squinted” it, narrowing the inner part and making the outer part more round. The basis for optics are halogen lamps (in the basic configuration) or xenon lamps (for more expensive options new crossover). Front bumper FAW Besturn X80 2018-2019 also received changes. The upper part is painted in body color, the lower part is made of black plastic insert.
The lower part is emphasized by two round fog lamps, as well as L-shaped LED daytime running lights running lights. The very center is reserved for additional protection engine, although this is said loudly, since it is made of hard plastic.
Hood The new crossover has become more stylish; the central part from the grille to the A-pillars has been raised, giving it a sporty character. As for the windshield of the FAW Besturn X80 2018-2019, unlike the first generation, it was tilted back, thereby improving the technical characteristics of the car. On the plus side, we can note the heating of the windshield wipers in the parking area, but full heating of the windshield is not yet provided.
Side new FAW Besturn X80 2018-2019, something in between sports crossover and an urban all-terrain vehicle. In most variants, the side lines are strict, with chopped edges. The designers carried out the main work from the front optics to the rear stops, a few more along the contour of the wheel arches, as well as at the bottom of the doors. A very inconvenient detail has migrated to the new FAW Besturn X80 2018-2019 from the first generation - pulled up door handles. Not everyone will find it convenient to reach up to open the doors, and besides, it doesn’t look very nice against the general background of the design.
As standard, the door handles of the FAW Besturn X80 2018-2019 crossover are chrome-plated; optionally, they can be painted in the body color. Minor changes fell on the side rear view mirrors of the FAW Besturn X80, the mirror housings extended to the sides. The standard set of mirrors includes LED turn signals, electric adjustment, automatic folding and heating.
The body colors in the full list are still unknown, among those presented:
- white;
- black;
- grey;
- brown.
Behind The FAW Besturn X80 2018 crossover also received quite a few changes. Despite the efforts of the designers to bring the new product closer to the European style, many body features indicate Chinese origin. Rear window received an impressive slope, with a spoiler at the top, and an LED stop repeater is also installed here. The crossover's feet are somewhat reminiscent of the Infiniti FX35, due to its elongated shape and division into two parts. The main part of the trunk lid is very large and practically without a step, which played an important role in comfort.
The rear bumper of the FAW Besturn X80 2018 has received minimal changes. The side parts, as a rule, are painted in body color, and the designers also placed rear foglights on them. The very bottom is decorated with a black plastic insert, paired with a silver plastic diffuser. In addition to this set, the very bottom is emphasized by two exhaust tips.
Crossover roof FAW Besturn X80 2018 last of the parts appearance. The standard kit includes two roof rails for attaching an additional trunk, a shark fin antenna and an electric sunroof. Optionally, the manufacturer offers to add panoramic roof, with a sliding front part, but the price of such pleasure is not mentioned.
In appearance, the new FAW Besturn X80 2018, in comparison with previous generation, has become much more attractive, especially the modified front and rear. The changes were beneficial, adding a positive reputation and a good increase in future sales statistics. The new optics of the FAW Besturn X80 2018-2019 gave the crossover a strict look, and the updated rear part speaks of sporting character new items
Interior of the new FAW Besturn X80 2018-2019
Unlike the more familiar appearance, the interior of the new FAW Besturn X80 2018 will surprise you with many details. Chinese manufacturer did not invent a new bicycle, taking interior details from separate ones now popular cars. The front panel is made in modern style With minimum set buttons Most of the management was transferred to 12" touchscreen multimedia system, which in fact occupied the entire height of the central console of the FAW Besturn X80 2018-2019.
The basis for the multimedia of the new FAW Besturn X80 was the Android Auto platform. The lower part of the display is decorated with a set of buttons for controlling the audio system; two air ducts are located above the display. This design is borrowed from Volvo cars, latest generation. To give special style, a V-shaped silver edging is installed across the entire width of the front panel. The FAW Besturn X80 2019 with a less rich interior will arrive on the Russian market, in all likelihood. The multimedia display will be 8", the shape of the center console will also change and control panels for the crossover systems will appear.
It is worth understanding that in the updated FAW Besturn X80 2018-2019, the front panel will largely depend on the configuration. Therefore, you should not count on the same type in the basic and maximum configuration.
Central tunnel The FAW Besturn X80 2018 crossover looks much richer. On the front there is a charging panel from a USB port, 12/120 V sockets and a cigarette lighter. One minus is that when the automatic transmission lever is switched to parking mode, it actually blocks access to the USB ports. There was a similar problem in the first generation of FAW Besturn X80, at the same time the plugs themselves or part of the panel often broke off. In addition to automatic transmission, the manufacturer also offers manual transmission; in this case, problems will arise when engaging third gear.
The central tunnel of the FAW Besturn X80 2018 ends with a pair of cup holders, a compartment for small items and a large armrest, with a spacious compartment and a good set of functions. In addition to two tiers, they added a couple more USB ports inside, with reverse side added two air ducts, a USB port and a 12V socket.
Salon updated crossover FAW Besturn X80 2018-2019 does not stand out with any special innovation. The seats received a minimum of new parts, but the functionality remained the same.
got a little lateral support and low headrests. Depending on the selected configuration of the FAW Besturn X80 2019, the front seats can be mechanically or electrically adjusted, and accordingly the number of directions will be different. The FAW Besturn X80 2019 seats are designed for three people, each with a height-adjustable headrest. The folding proportion is standard 60/40, but the downside is that there is no possibility of adjustment, which is increasingly appearing in different models. Still, there is a plus: there is plenty of space, which allows passengers of a larger build to sit in the second row.
The interior trim of the FAW Besturn X80 2018-2019, like the front panel, depends on the configuration. Basic options will receive fabric upholstery, more expensive artificial leather or genuine leather (optional in the top configuration). The manufacturer provided a minimum of information regarding the interior colors, but the remaining nuances will become known after official start sales In most cases, the interior of the FAW Besturn X80 2018-2019 will be:
- black;
- grey;
- beige;
- burgundy.
Driver's seat the new FAW Besturn X80 2018-2019 has not changed much. The instrument panel is the same, based on a dial speedometer and tachometer. A small on-board computer display has been added in the center. For added design, a gray trim with protruding cylindrical glass has been added along the contour of the instrument panel.
The steering wheel of the FAW Besturn X80 2018-2019 crossover has remained almost unchanged. Similar to the interior and console, the side spokes can be simple or equipped with functional buttons. In addition to the side spokes, buttons can also be located on the inside of the steering wheel. On the one hand, it’s good that you don’t have to reach for the center console, but on the other hand, you can accidentally snag it.
