FAW Bestune Pentium B70S

The FAW Bestune Pentium B70S stands out with its unique exterior design—eye-catching front face and low-slung stance, guaranteeing high visibility. My 2.0T model offers essential assistive and safety features, with blind-spot monitoring being particularly helpful for new drivers. The driving experience is thrilling: on highways, power is responsive, delivering strong acceleration and a satisfying push-back feeling. As a 178cm, 100kg+ driver, I find the front seats spacious; the trunk is small but sufficient for daily use. The interior is plain, and the infotainment system lags behind rivals like Jetour Dasheng—slow startup, limited functions, and paid music subscriptions are drawbacks, though the ambient lighting is nice. Overall, it’s a highly cost-effective first car, a "hidden gem" let down only by poor brand marketing, not its quality.

【Exterior】The FAW Bestune Pentium B70S features a striking front with mythical beast-inspired elements, unique battle-axe split headlights, and a large aggressive grille. Its sporty sloped roofline complements the GT style, while 19-inch five-star wheels add presence. The rear highlights include a镂空 rear wing, ducktail spoiler, and sleek贯穿式 taillights.

【Interior & Tech】Despite being an SUV, it exudes sports car vibes with a dual-spoke steering wheel and a 7-inch LCD instrument cluster paired with a 12.3-inch touchscreen, enhancing tech appeal. The infotainment system supports music, navigation, and 360° camera. Key assists include traffic jam assist, adaptive cruise, lane departure warning, and auto-parking, though drivers must remain focused.

【Seats】Front seats combine leather and suede in red/black, with supportive bolsters and plush padding for ample lateral support.

【Performance】I recommend the 2.0T+Aisin 6AT powertrain (224hp, 340N·m) over the 1.5T+7DCT. It delivers sufficient power for most needs, offering great value in driving experience.

In my opinion, the FAW Bestune Pentium B70S is a "performance" SUV for power-seeking buyers, priced around 120,000 yuan for the 2.0T version. Launched in early 2022, it targets young consumers with its coupe SUV positioning, unique design, and tech-savvy interior. The exterior features a bold grille, sleek coupe-like profile, 19-inch wheels, and a rear spoiler with "Great Wall Arrow" taillights. The Black Warrior Co-creation Edition, with all-black styling, red calipers, and dual exhaust, offers个性 at no extra cost. The interior boasts three screens (7-inch instrument cluster and 12.3-inch infotainment display) and豪华氛围 comparable to 200,000-yuan合资 models. It has two powertrains: 1.5T (169 hp) with 7DCT and 2.0T (224 hp) with 6AT. I’d definitely choose the 2.0T for its significantly better driving experience at a small price difference. Among 2.0T trims, the mid-range is best, adding L2 driving aids for 8,000 yuan more than the base, while the top trim’s extra features aren’t worth the cost.
