Bestune T77
The Bestune T77 is the brand’s best-selling model by a clear margin, a compact SUV that launched in November 2018 and has remained Bestune’s top performer ever since. It’s also been exported and locally assembled in Russia, sold there as the Lada X-Cross 5 through a partnership with the Russian manufacturer.
Power comes from a 1.2 litre turbocharged engine producing 143 hp, paired with either a five-speed manual gearbox or a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic, driving the front wheels only. Inside, the T77 was notable at launch for a 3D holographic virtual assistant, an unusual, distinctive touch that later carried over to other Bestune models including the B70S. At 4,525mm long with a 2,700mm wheelbase, it’s sized to compete with mainstream compact SUVs from more established rivals.
The Bestune T77 has not launched in the UK, and remains a China and select-export-market model, sold in Russia under the Lada badge rather than its own name.
