FAW has unveiled a near-production-ready version of its latest electric SUV codenamed C105 at the ongoing 2019 Guangzhou Auto Show. The new SUV will be placed under the Bestune/Besturn brand which has already launched 3 SUVs earlier this year including T77, T33 and T99.
In terms of design which is vibrant and dynamic, there is a closed grille design (as with most EVs) with Bestune signature raindrop elements accompanied by slim headlamp units and vertically oriented LED DRLs on either side of the bumper. There is an inverted trapezoidal opening at the lower section of the bumper that adds to the character of the new SUV.
