On July 10, 2025, in Hanoi , Carfe Company Limited, the official distributor of the Bestune brand in Vietnam, held a launching ceremony for the Bestune NAT MPV electric vehicle model. Along with the event, Bestune's first showroom in Vietnam was also officially opened, marking the Chinese car company's first step in its strategy to penetrate the urban electric vehicle market in Vietnam. Bestune NAT is a pure electric MPV model in segment B, developed on the FME platform of FAW Group (China). The model is positioned as a new generation urban vehicle, especially suitable for technology taxi services or car sharing.
The car has an overall size of 4,450 x 1,840 x 1,680 mm, with a 2,850 mm long wheelbase, making the interior space more spacious than most small MPV models today. The exterior has a modern style with an aerodynamic grille, LED headlights with integrated daytime positioning strips, and characteristic boomerang graphic taillights. The car uses 17-inch wheels combined with 215/55R17 tires. A design highlight is the electric sliding door on the right rear, allowing passengers to enter and exit safely, especially in crowded areas. The left door still opens in the traditional style. Although it belongs to the B-class MPV segment, the Bestune NAT only has 5 seats instead of 7, with a design philosophy that emphasizes spaciousness and comfort. The rear seats have foldable armrests and spacious legroom.
The cabin is finished with leather seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and a milky white fabric-trimmed dashboard. The entertainment system includes a 10-inch central screen, a large digital instrument cluster, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and online software updates. In addition, the car is equipped with air conditioning with vents for the rear seats, an air filtration system, USB charging ports and 12V power in both the front and rear. The driver's seat is manually adjustable in 6 directions, the passenger seat is manually adjustable in 4 directions. The driver's seat is ventilated and cooled, helping to reduce the heat for the occupants in the car. The car has many convenient storage compartments, suitable for transportation business and family use. The knob-type gear lever on the car is quite neat and easy to use for all ages. The front row space is considered to be more spacious and airy than many competitors in the same price range.
Bestune NAT uses a permanent magnet synchronous electric motor, 120 kW (161 hp), 155 Nm torque, front-wheel drive. The vehicle is equipped with a 55.7 kWh LFP battery manufactured by REPT, for a maximum operating range of 425 km/charge (according to NEDC standards). The average power consumption is 12.8 kWh/100 km. The vehicle supports domestic AC charging, with a full charge time of about 8.4 hours. In the Vietnamese market, Bestune NAT has an advantage in terms of price. However, this model faces obstacles such as an unfamiliar brand, unproven quality, and a lack of widespread public charging infrastructure.
