Chinese automaker Bestune has unveiled its unique FAW NVH Laboratory, where the brand develops acoustic comfort for all its vehicles. Spanning more than 8,200 square meters, the research facility combines 17 specialized labs and over 100 engineers. Parent company FAW Group invested 290 million yuan ($40,718,320) to build the center.

Here, engineers study body, drivetrain, and exhaust noise and vibration using semi-anechoic chambers, allowing them to fine-tune every sound source. The results are impressive: inside the Bestune T90, B70, T77, and T55, cabin noise at speeds over 120 km/h (75 mph) stays below 70 decibels — on par with luxury-class vehicles.

Each model features multi-layer sound insulation, reinforced seals, and well-tuned suspension systems ranging from MacPherson struts to multi-link setups. Meanwhile, Aisin engines and transmissions operate with minimal noise and vibration, ensuring an exceptionally smooth ride.

In my view, Bestune’s success comes down to engineering precision. In a world where silence has become the new symbol of quality, the brand is betting on acoustic serenity, turning every drive into a space of calm.
