Interior

The Bestune T33 is launched in July 2019, and is originally based on the Bestune X40 shown at the 2016 Guangzhou Auto Show while the whole vehicle received a complete makeover to replace the X40. ^[4]

Specifications

The front and rear of the Bestune T33 features the design language inline with the compact Bestune T77 launched earlier, and is followed by the mid-size Bestune T99 and compact Bestune T55 crossovers. The T33 also features 18-inch tires. The interior of the T33 is equipped with a full LCD 3D naked eye dashboard and a 10.25-inch central control LCD screen with FAW's D-Life 4.0 intelligent network connection infotainment system and a virtual assistant called YOMI which could be customized. ^[5]

Powertrain

At the market launch, the car was powered exclusively by a 1.6-liter gasoline engine with intake manifold injection and a maximum output of 84 kW (114 hp) shared with the previous X40. ^[6] The engine is optionally available with a 5-speed manual transmission ^[7] or a 6-speed automatic transmission. At the end of 2020, this engine was replaced by a supercharged 1.2-liter gasoline engine with 105 kW (143 hp).
