This is the new FAW Besturn B50 sedan, with an interesting line running from the grille over the light to the door handle. The new Besturn B50 will be launched on the Chinese car market in August, priced from 90.000 to 120.000 yuan. The white car on the first photo is the sporty RS model.

This is the base car, with a different grille and different wheels.

The RS will be powered by a Volkswagen-sourced 1.4 turbo with 136hp and 220nm (same engine as in the Bora), and the base car will be available with the same 103hp 1.6 or 139hp 1.8 as in the current car.

The 1.4T will be mated to a six-speed DCT, the 1.6 and 1.8 to a five-speed manual or a six-speed automatic.
