The Besturn X80 Sport has been launched on the Chinese car market, priced at 155.800 yuan. The X80 Sport is a sporty variant of the X80 SUV. It comes with a black grille with a red stripe, darkened windows, a black skid pad, a black roof rack, and sporty five spoke alloys with red brakes. Besturn is a brand of First Auto Works (FAW).

A bit more sporty here with black leather seats with some red detailing.

Biggest news however lies under the bonnet. The Besturn X80 Sport is powered by a new 1.8 turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 180hp and 235nm, mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. Sadly however the new engine is not a Sport-only, as it is also available in the normal X80 with the same amount of horses.
