Besturn
B30 sedan
This
is the new Besturn B30 sedan for China, featuring an impressive
blingeding grille and sporty five-spoke alloys. The Besturn B30
will be launched on
the Chinese car market in November. Price will start around 60.000 yuan and end
around 80.000 yuan. The B30 debuted in concept form on the Shanghai Auto Show
in April.
Besturn
is a brand of First Auto Works (FAW).
The Besturn B30 has been under development since early 2013. Initially, we heard that the
B30 was going to be based on the platform of the old Volkswagen Bora, which was made in China by the FAW-Volkswagen joint
venture. Besturn however now says the platform for the B30 is completely new,
but it probably isn’t.
The
B30 is powered by an old Volkswagen-developed 1.6 liter four-cylinder petrol
with 109 hp and 155 nm, mated to a five-speed manual or a six-speed automatic.
This engine was used to power many China-made Volkswagens, but it has since
been phased out and sold on to FAW.
Interior
looks fine for the money, with alu bits to cheer up the gray color scheme.
Large touch screen for the infotainment. More
gray in the back. Seats are gray-brown, of all color combinations possible.
