FAW has already announced that its future range of vehicles will be called as Bestune instead of FAW as the latter will be scrapped initially in China and gradually in other markets. According to Dong Wanfu, Deputy Car Sales for the FAW Group, the passenger cars will be represented by Bestune brand, whereas FAW brand and its logo would now solely be used for trucks. This is because the quality and design of the new and upcoming Bestune models is far superior to the known FAW models thus a transformation is needed to be made.

The T99 will be the biggest and the most powerful SUV in FAW’s lineup. Measuring 4,800 mm in length, 1,915 mm in width and 1,685 in height having a wheelbase of 2,870 mm, the T99 is bigger, wider & taller than the T77 (previously the biggest Bestune SUV) while having a longer wheelbase too.
