Like other models in the Besturn range, the forthcoming Besturn B90 sedan is going to be Mazda based. The Besturn B50 and Besturn B70 sedans are both based on the last generation Mazda6 platform which FAW have received from their partners at Mazda, the B50 platform was shortened down to size and given the gearbox from the VW Polo to cut costs, whilst the B70 was made on the full Mazda6 platform and included Mazda running gear.
The upcoming B90 will be in a similar position to the B70, although it will be sitting on top of the latest Mazda6 platform and will carry the newer 2.0L engine. Pricing for the B90 has not yet been announced, although it is expected to be in the 140,000rmb (17.9 lac PKR) to 180,000rmb (23 lac PKR) range, making it slightly cheaper than the current Mazda6. B90 will be displayed at the Shanghai Auto Show later this April.
