FAV Besturn B50 was designed by Italians from Italdesign Giugiaro, and the premiere of their work in the sedan body took place back in April 2008 at the Beijing Auto Show. Let's look at the FAW Besturn B50 from all sides.
The front part of the car with high headlights with a sly "look", a neat false radiator grille and a simple but massive bumper. The front fairing places on its surface a slit of the lower air intake and fog lights on inserts made of unpainted plastic. "Chinese" profile - with adult expander stampings wheel arches and two ribs. The top rib runs through the line of the door handles, and the bottom splash decorates the bottom of the doors. Otherwise, the FAW Besturn B50 is the correct and calm appearance of the sedan body, which has a long sloping hood, a sloping roof and a fierce stern. The back is simplicity itself: straight boot lid, bumper. The rear lighting technology and the arcuate stamping on the luggage compartment lid also adorn the stern.

The driver's seat with an electric drive and adjustment in 8 directions with a variable lumbar support roller, the passenger seat with a mechanical adjustment. There is nothing to say about the comfort of the seats, there are no “live” cars in Russia yet, but judging by the photo, the profile is correct, with developed lateral support. In the second row, passengers have enough legroom and the roof does not put pressure on their heads. A pillow with a flat profile, the central tunnel will interfere with the middle passenger.
Trunk volume of 450 liters is an average figure for a European D-class car, in which FAW is going to "play" with its sedan, built on the platform of the first generation of the Japanese Mazda6.

FAW Besturn X80 is a front-wheel drive crossover of the compact segment that combines an attractive design, decent technical "stuffing" and a good level of equipment ... Its main target audience is city dwellers (often family), leading an active lifestyle and practicing outings ...
The first SUV in the history of the Chinese automaker was presented to the world public in April 2013 at the stands of the Shanghai International Auto Show, and its sales in the Chinese market began the following month. This car, by the way built on the basis of the first generation Mazda 6, reached Russia only four years later - in April 2017 (and in pre-styling form).
In September 2016, FAW Besturn X80 underwent a planned upgrade (but before russian buyers in this form "arrived" only in July 2018) - the SUV was "refreshed" in appearance, becoming even more similar to the Infiniti model, got a seriously redesigned interior and received new equipment, but at the same time retained technical part without any changes.

A nice and laconic center console is decorated with a protruding 8-inch "tablet" of the multimedia system and convenient radio and microclimate units.
The front seats are comfortable enough for city trips, but when you are driving for a long time, the load on the back is noticeably noticeable. It is much more comfortable to sit in the back row, but only if you are of short stature (tall passengers here will rest their heads against the sloping roof).
Things are not in the best way here with the trunk - it holds 398 liters (for a crossover of this size, this is not enough). Somewhat corrects the situation, divided into two unequal sections, the back of the rear sofa - which folds almost flush with the floor, thereby increasing the volume of the "hold" more than three times.
