More and more Russians are choosing the FAW Bestune B70, switching from more familiar cars. The model is interesting because it offers a rare combination of a two-liter engine and an automatic transmission, a spacious interior and a large trunk, as well as modern equipment. Owners share their impressions of the pros and cons, comparing the car with their previous Mercedes‑Benz, Hyundai, Volkswagen, and Ford.
After a Mercedes‑Benz E‑Class in Kaliningrad, the owner decided to switch to a B70 with the maximum Vision configuration for 2,900,000 rubles. The main advantages were the spacious interior, huge trunk, and comfortable seats with high-quality leather. The engine and gearbox work smoothly, and the acceleration is confident. Among the disadvantages are poor sound insulation, stiff suspension on standard 19-inch tires, and low ground clearance. Despite this, the car pleases every day, although in the future the owner plans to change it to a Geely Atlas crossover.
In Tyumen, a person switched from a Hyundai Solaris to a FAW B70 in the Vision configuration with a mileage of 21,000 km. He was attracted by the two-liter turbo engine, the Japanese-made "automatic" transmission, and the spacious interior. Among the disadvantages are minor warranty issues and the lack of Russification of the multimedia system, as well as the difficulty of subsequent resale. The advantages of the car include dynamics, a galvanized body, and a reliable design similar to VAG cars.
In Moscow, the owner of a 2021 Volkswagen Polo chose a FAW B70 1.5 gasoline, DCT in the Exclusive configuration. The main argument was the rarity of such a combination within a budget of 2.5 million rubles. He notes the ideal dimensions, spacious trunk, and comfortable seats, as well as the absence of problems with electronics even after 50,000 km of mileage. Vibrations and large tablets do not cause serious discomfort.
In Samara, the former owner of a 2023 Ford Mondeo switched to a FAW B70 2.0 Smart with a mileage of 15,000 km. He was attracted by the combination of a two-liter engine and a classic automatic transmission, as well as the appearance and equipment. The disadvantages were slight vibrations at idle and the need to replace the battery before winter. Among the advantages are stable electronics, handling, dynamics, and the absence of breakdowns during the first 15,000 km.
General impressions of the owners show that the FAW Bestune B70 successfully combines comfort, power, and interior space. Despite minor shortcomings, such as sound insulation, ground clearance, and the rarity of Russification, the car demonstrates reliability and stability, which attracts buyers who are tired of constant maintenance of used cars or expensive foreign cars.
Mileage of 15–50 thousand kilometers and positive reviews confirm that the B70 is suitable for daily use in the city and on long trips, providing convenience and confidence on the road. Owners note spaciousness, comfort, and practicality as key advantages of the model.
