Bitche Original If you want a new energy car priced at 60,000-70,000 yuan, it can not only meet daily commuting, but also carry 4-5 people on weekends. The battery life must be sufficient and it must have fast charging. , then the Changan Benben E-Star around me must be a good choice.

The 2023 Benben E-Star is already on the market. There is only a colorful lithium iron phosphate version priced at 79,900 yuan. It will face strong competitors such as BYD Seagull and Wuling Bingo. However, what is surprising is that its official price has been directly reduced by 12,000 yuan, so the Changan Auchan Benben E-Star Colorful Edition is currently priced at only 67,900 yuan. This price makes it very competitive among its rivals.

Besides price, what do you care about most? Yes, that’s the range and charging time. Regardless of whether you have range anxiety or not, these two parameters are definitely a must-see when buying a car, just like many people now care about battery capacity and charging power when buying mobile phones.

The first is battery life. The NEDC cruising range of Benben E-Star reaches 310km. If your daily commute to and from work is within 40km, then it can be charged once a week. If you want to take a short self-driving trip on the weekend, the 310km cruising range is enough.

In terms of power, the Benben E-Star is equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous motor with a maximum power of 55kW and a peak torque of 170N·m. In terms of transmission, it is still the usual single-speed transmission of electric vehicles, but the knob-type shifting mechanism is more interesting, feels very good, and is also equipped with an electronic handbrake.

In terms of battery and charging, the new car is equipped with a lithium iron phosphate battery with a capacity of 30.95kWh, and supports two charging methods: DC fast charging and AC slow charging. The AC charging interface is located in the logo on the front of the car, and the DC charging interface is located at the "gas port" at the rear of the car.

The size of the Benben E-Star is not large, with a body length, width and height of 3770x1650x1570mm and a wheelbase of 2410mm. It is very convenient to drive such a small car that is less than 4 meters long in the city, and can pass at will even on some narrow roads.

Benben E-Star adopts a 5-door and 5-seater layout. This is an advantage that Hongguang MINIEV and Chery QQ Ice Cream do not have. Its rear space is not small. If the whole car seats 4 people, everyone can sit comfortably. If there are a lot of people, Benben E-Star can also accommodate 5 people.

The interior design of the Benben E-Star is eye-catching. The overall theme is dark and light blue, and a white decorative panel is used on the central control. And it also uses a suspended 10.25-inch color dual screen and a multi-function steering wheel.

Summary

The Benben E-Star, which has five doors and five seats, has a range of 300km+, and supports DC fast charging, is currently priced at only 67,900 yuan after an official price reduction of 12,000 yuan, which is still very attractive. If you are considering buying an affordable urban scooter, you might as well consider this Benben E-Star.
