The design language of the T086 looks quite in line with the FAW D60 crossover. It carries FAW’s signature front grille with a bold chrome strip reaching both the headlights and a big FAW winged logo up front. The sporty bumper design and double five spoke rims add to the beauty of the vehicle. The all-black interior looks impressive with silver embellishments.
The T086 will come equipped with a panoramic sunroof, EPB (electric parking brakes) with Auto Hold, intelligent networking capabilities, AEB (autonomous emergency braking) collision avoidance system, six airbags , ESC (electronic stability control), 18-inch wheels and other rich configurations.

The T086 is yet another example of the high quality feature rich vehicles that FAW currently produces out there, however the product portfolio in Pakistan needs to match that for sure!
