Electric Family Vehicle: Family's Impressions of the FAW Bestune NAT
The FAW Bestune NAT, a spacious and budget-friendly electric minivan, has been eagerly tested by a family living in a satellite city. The NAT's numerous advantages, including reduced fuel costs and superior maintenance, have been outlined by Stanislav and Natalia, the vehicle's enthusiastic new owners.
With three children and one studying away, this family has been contemplating the purchase of an electric car for quite some time. The opportunity to test drive the FAW NAT presented an excellent opportunity to examine the comfortable minivan up close.
"We travel 30 kilometers from our home to Minsk every day for work," Natalia explains. "Many of our neighbors face similar daily commutes. While working remotely, we anticipated reduced fuel costs, but our expenses remained steady at approximately 700 rubles a month, which is quite a significant amount for our family budget."
Consequently, the family began to consider an electric vehicle as a means to cut costs and expand their green footprint. Having discussed the prospect of a new vehicle previously, the arrival of a replacement for their current car seemed like the perfect opportunity.
"Seven years ago, we wandered through the car market," Stanislav recounts. "At the time, there were no budget options that could accommodate our three children comfortably. We chose a spacious used car instead. Now, when considering new cars, we're struck by the lack of affordable options. The high cost of new cars often makes it impractical to pay off a loan, let alone save money on maintenance and fuel costs."
During their test drive, the family discovered that the FAW Bestune NAT offered a range of appealing features for each member.
Stanislav's Preferences
- Affordability: A tremendous selling point for the FAW NAT was its competitive price tag of 53,900 rubles, considering trade-in discounts. The brand's dealership offers a variety of financing options, including credit and leasing arrangements.
- Fuel Efficiency: Switching to an electric vehicle led to a dramatic decrease in operational costs. A full charge, utilizing a home's slow charging network, costs only 14 rubles with a 55 kWh battery and a rate of 0.25 rubles per kilowatt-hour. At 300-360 kilometers per charge, the cost of 100 kilometers amounts to a mere 5 rubles—a significant savings compared to vehicles with internal combustion engines.
- Maintenance: The NAT's maintenance costs are notably lower, particularly when compared to conventional vehicles.
Natalia's Preferences
- Size: The NAT's generous dimensions—4450 x 1840 x 1680 millimeters—make it an ideal family vehicle. The high roof ensures ample headroom, even for their tall 16-year-old son. The spacious rear seat and 336-liter trunk comfortably hold all the family's belongings and even accommodate the fold-down of both passenger seats in cases where additional storage is required.
- Agility and Handling: The Huawei engine, boasting 163 horsepower and 155 Newton-meters of torque, offers responsive performance. Despite the claimed 10.8-second acceleration to 100 kilometers per hour, the electric motor's agility is evident, especially during high-speed maneuvers and acceleration.
- Comfort Options: Heated seats, leather upholstery, and a panoramic sunroof contribute to the overall comfort and luxury of the NAT.
The Children's Preferences
- Sliding Door: The FAW NAT's sliding door provides a practical solution for navigating crowded parking lots, ensuring children's safety without limiting their mobility.
- Cup Holders: Rear cup holders and an adjustable armrest made for a pleasant riding experience during longer trips, much to the delight of the family's older children.
- USB Ports: The presence of two USB ports in the second row catered to the children's need to keep their devices charged during journeys.
In summary, the FAW Bestune NAT serves as an economical and practical solution for families. Interested customers can visit one of the brand's dealerships located in Minsk, Brest, Vitebsk, Gomel, Grodno, and Mogilev for individual calculations of savings and loan or leasing options.
