Speaking of independent brand models, the start of any one is born by imitation, like the Great Wall, Geely are so, and today we want to introduce the FAW Besturn, the old model directly uses Mazda's chassis and power, and the Besturn is now also a change, so let's introduce its Pentium T99, the model is 2022 20TD 6AT sport premium, the guidance price is 176,900.
The exterior design of the Pentium T99 continues the family design style, the overall originality is not high, and the style is relatively stable but not losing vitality. The most conspicuous front part of the face is the design of the grid grid, using a honeycomb structure, and adding U-shaped chrome trim embellishment, the light group on both sides adopts a flat design, the structure in the lamp cavity is more exquisite, especially the polygonal lens design, the light source is LED, the headlight also supports automatic headlights and adaptive near and far light two functions.
In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the Pentium T99 is 4800/1915/1685mm, the wheelbase is 2870mm, the side design uses more flat straight lines, the waist line is particularly obvious, and the roof has added a slippery design, but the lines are relatively gentle. The eyebrows, including the skirt, are all black plastic, and the rim is designed with two-tone five-spokes, which is more conventional in shape, but visually has a good effect, the rim size is 20 inches, and the tire size is 245/50 R20.
The layering of the rear of the car is more abundant, the use of more horizontal and vertical straight lines, highlighting the toughness of the body, the addition of through-type taillights and improve the visual center of gravity, enhance the sense of heaviness, taillights also use split design, after lighting has a good visual effect. The exhaust decoration at the bottom is a bilateral design with a total of four outs, but the real exhaust is a bilateral double out.
The design of the interior has a good sense of grade, thanks to the large area of leather coverage of the center console, while the three screens add a lot of technology to the car, it is a pity that the middle part of the real-time model is not equipped with a holographic projection screen. In addition to the large area of leather materials, the center console is also embellished with silver trim strips, and the door is also added with peach wood trim panels, which are delicate and mature.
The steering wheel is a traditional three-frame structure, the bottom uses a flat bottom design to increase the movement effect, the leather wrapping makes it have a more comfortable grip, and the surface of the multi-function button is mirror treated, and it seems that the touch is actually a solid button. The instrument is a 12.3-inch full LCD design, the style design of the UI interface is more sci-fi, and the surface reflection treatment is very good, and there are a variety of theme mode choices.
The central control screen and instrument screen are designed for the continuous screen, so the overallity is better, and the size of the central control screen is also 12.3, the design of the UI interface is relatively simple, the operation logic is relatively clear, but the response speed is a bit slow, there is room for growth, including the speech recognition control system, the recognition rate is also relatively low, and it is regrettable that it is not equipped with CarPlay or CarLife function.
The positioning of the Pentium T99 is relatively high-end, so there is no need to worry too much about the vehicle configuration, passive safety on the whole car provides a total of 6 airbags, active safety is more abundant, it is equipped with hardware so that it can achieve L2 level automatic driving function, and can be activated with one key, and the actual experience of this set of automatic driving is also very good, more natural.
The seat is wrapped in leather, the interior padding is soft, the overall comfort is not to be picked, the wrapping of the body is also very good, the front seats also support electric 8-way adjustment and manual lumbar support, support seat heating and seat ventilation, unfortunately the head of the model and support adjustment. The design of the rear seats is no different from the front row, the backrest and seat cushion are relatively wide and thick, but do not support adjustment, while the seat cushion is relatively short, and the support for the legs is not too good.
For this level of car, the performance of the seat space in the car is good, sitting in the front row with a height of 180cm, the experiencer has 1 punch of space left in the head, and the head space in the back row has 4 fingers left, and the leg space is more than 2 punches. The raised floor in the middle of the rear row is not obvious, which does not have much impact on the space of the middle seat, and the model is equipped with an openable panoramic sunroof with a length of 1170mm and a width of 710mm.
The trunk is equipped with an inductive tail compartment door function, supporting position memory, the design of the trunk gives me the first feeling is very large, the left side is equipped with a net pocket, can place some small items, the right side also has a deep storage compartment, if you set the partition will be better, and lift the trunk cover, there are multiple storage compartments below, the trunk is conventionally 990mm deep, and the rear seat can be extended to 1870mm after being reclined.
Pentium T99 in the power of the whole series is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, code name CA4GC20TD-32, the maximum power of this engine is 165kW (224Ps), peak torque 340N · m, the gearbox matches the 6-gear hand self-integration, the overall output of this powertrain is relatively soft, whether it is low speed or high speed, the power performance is relatively abundant, the smoothness of the 6AT gearbox is nothing to say. The chassis suspension is a structural design of the front McPherson rear multi-link, and the adjustment is soft, so the lateral support performance is average.
In general, the Pentium T99 as a medium and large SUV, the price is relatively high, for the quality of the vehicle is not much to worry about, after all, the official to the first owner unlimited years unlimited mileage warranty policy. I think the product strength of the whole vehicle is more prominent among independent brands, but if you want to compete with the joint venture brand, it is somewhat insufficient.
