When preparing for a subcompact crossover test, Besturn X40, we carefully studied reports of sofa experts and, to be honest, it did not work out any preliminary relationship to the model. - If the car is trying to praise, somehow insincere, if the models indicate disadvantages, for some reason, it is very subjective or not even essentially. In general, it is necessary to understand. And not in the Moscow sofa, but in Siberian realities. The expert group of editions of the motor vehicle went to the research expedition "on the moon" - on the off-road landfill of the Luna Auto Auto Complex group of the Avoliga Group of Companies.
DESIGN
Externally, the car is very pleasant, modern and harmonious. And most importantly - original! He is attributed to the similarity and well-known "Japanese" and even with premium "Germans", but in real life the plagistry is not visible from any side. Yes, and long ago, those times have already passed when Chinese automakers were engaged in imitation or even frank borrowing.
It's time to get rid of stereotypes and templates. If the Chinese car looks very decent, stylish, may even be premiered, it does not mean that it is drawn. This may mean that the autobrome has been developing with a leading time with a leading time and has already risen to a very worthy level.
And FAW is still literally the "first automobile company" with more than half a century. It was originally in the forefront of the National Auto industry, and why should she not exercise to the world avant-garde canons to today? At least looking at the FAW BESTURN X40, it is supposed to be that it has already happened.

Fairly in the advantages of the model are attributed to the verified gaps, high-quality assembly. And the subcompact 17-inch wheels on cute disks. And the wheels, according to the Guru of Avtodizayn, this is half the appearance of the car.
In general, externally, the car is not inferior to the most famous his classmates. In Count, even surpasses them. And internally?
SALON
Button on the key chain remove the car from the guard. The X40 digested two times and opened access to the salon, which is presented to the blogosphere as a non-alternatively black with a hard but pleasant plastic. Plastic is really tactful. And really not soft - but is it necessary? It is unlikely that at least one driver during the trip only does what the panel feelings, watching the dents from the fingers ...
And really the salon is black, as, however, in almost all models. No variations selection? But this is just a matter of time - the model is not so long ago
I went to our market. In the embodiment, which, according to the marketers of the brand, guarantees her the highest demand. And marketers of right -
Most car owners prefer black salon ...

Most of all blogrotenziums to Faw Besturn X40 chairs. It is understandable - not a sofa ... one very tall (177 cm) Blider complained that his head of contact with the ceiling will save only the electrolyuk. The other complains that the pillow is short ... I personally have a height of 187 cm, but no occipating ceiling problems has not adversely felt. And the driver's chair seemed very convenient, with sufficient space to undergo an increase in hip. Maybe the guys are simply not friends with electrically regulators?
There is enough space for hips and rear passengers: with the test of the cabin space by the method of "for me" - with a completely militant front chair, I was completely comfortable from behind. Wheel base from Besturn X40 2 600 mm - the salon turned out to be very spacious. With a decent luggage space - from 375 to 1525 liters (with a built 60/40 rear seats).
Finally, ergonomics. She is unanimously from each other in the friend of wringing bloggers flawless. Employed, of course, it is possible, but in fact with the organization of space in X40 everything is in order - everything is in its place, everything is intuitively found, everything is rational. Everything like everyone else?
It is fasted, and ... and it turned out that the new FAW has very comfortable buckles of safety belts, differing from the usual standard - not everything like everyone :)

ASPHALT
The key start, the ACP selector to the DRIVE position - went. Dynamics for a 108-strong engine with "automatic" is quite acceptable. In the "Shashechki" you will not play - it is impossible, but also the Internet recommendations like "do not overtake the track, while the horizon does not break from the oncoming machines" - obviously denominating advantages. Each car has its own character, and it is necessary to reckon with it. This is not a sports car, an ordinary mass crossover with a regular engine and an ordinary "automatic".
Interesting acoustic features of the model. As already mentioned, Bibikatts when removing from security, picks up, if you drive with an unused belt, clicks the door locks at a speed of 20 km / h when they are automatic locking, accompanies the inclusion of turn signals and accidents.
Regarding noise insulation, the opinions of bloggers have separated. Ktoto calls her terrible, CTOTO excellent. Looks like neither those nor others, behind the wheel of the FAW BESTURN X40 were not. Noise isolation from this crossover usual for budget vehicles. The engine is not strong, but is heard, tire noise on asphalt too. At the request, dealers can fully assemble the salon from the outside world. But then it will be raised in the cost, which today begins with a mark of just 1,107,000 rubles.
I did not like bloggers and suspension - type hard and does not cope with bad asphalt. It copes perfectly! But at the same time - yes, the sound effect of overcoming the choice takes place. Because behind the X40 torsion. What it is? If short and in essence, it is such a practically indiscriminate design, very valuable for our roads! It does not break through, does not swing, does not flow and not "dubet" in the cold. And does not require frequent replacement of racks for their absence. That is, she is called "eternal". And very energy-intensive.
Well, the fact that the car is pleasantly ruling and gently but accurately slows down, everyone agrees. And even we :) - steering intelligible and accurate, and brakes are simply great!
An unexpected discovery was the presence of a start / stop system, none of the bloggers for some reason did not notice it. But it really saves gasoline in urban traffic. Well, does not defile ecology at the same time.

I liked the work of the air conditioner - the day was groaning for autumn, and the climate system was very effective.
Offroud.
InternetExperts are not recommended on the Faw Besturn X40 to move from asphalt or, at the worst, rolled soil. And tried? In theory, yes, it seems as reasonable - monoprifer, 155 newtonometers of torque on turnover of 3600 ... But after all, X40 is still from the family of crossovers, and with good indicators of geometric patency: 180 mm ground clearance, angles of entry / congress 22/28 degrees. But until you try, and you will not know for sure - the world in which we live is now characterized by a gigantic gap between the fact that we speak one voice, and how it really is. Between theory and practice. Between the word and the case ...
In short, the autocomplex "Moon Auto" has its own extremipolyagon with a complex of natural impassability of an OfferClass from the average to severe. There usually have fun on the UAZ. Why and us in reasonable limits with a loaf to a monoprix not to go on the path? Evacuator, if that, near ...
But he did not need! Climbed onto the hilly and descended in uncomfortable lowers, they walked along the ground and on the grass, the coast of the frozen swamp and the "beach" of loose sand. For not very deep, but categorically blog monitor-recommended dry and loose sand! Stayed before "cut five" on the local "beach", and no even hints for the fact that the city crossover Faw Besturn X40 is not engaged in his business. Confident, without donor, without slipping.

Dropped through the sharp crests of the hollochik, without clinging to the bottom, thanks to the decent corner of the ramp. Rished into embossed integrabright depressions without sacrificment for the body due to off-road Svez. Stayed on steep slopes and continued to rise without rolling back to the ground thanks to the system of help when touching the slope ...
EQUIPMENT
In addition to proven on the hills of the Besturn X40, the Besturn X40 system has ABS, EBA, EBD, ESP, TSC, ISOFIX, "Children's" castle, "Eraglonass" ... and all this is starting with the minimum configuration. Heated mirrors and front seats, a complete set of power windows - and also in the database. Temperature, light sensors, pressure parking in tires - and again in the initial configuration. Multimedia system with 8-inch color touchscreen display, Bluetooth, USB. Yes, and this is all in the starting version.
The maximum equipment from the starting is different only by the presence of a hatch, a multifunctionality of the steering wheel, the function of controlling a driver's glass into one touch, a 12-volt rosette, a rear view camera with an output of the image on the display, a system of invisible access and engine start, cruise control, protector of the motor compartment, delaying off head optics when leaving the car.

Well, the price, of course - it is 49 or 99 thousand rubles higher, depending on the type of transmission - "mechanics" or "automatic".
SUMMARY
And how did the FAW BESTURN X40 CD? Cute, modern, well-equipped SUV for the city of Dacha-Altai Baikal. For men-women-youth-pensioners, for family, close companies and for themselves.
Fresh, while unstasted and one and a half or two times more accessible at the price of its competitors. With the fact that one and a half or two times more richly equipped. The option is very promising for our auto.
