Changan Benben is equipped with a four-cylinder engine. The entire Changan Benben lineup uses a 1.4-liter naturally aspirated engine. This 1.4-liter naturally aspirated engine in the Changan Benben delivers a maximum power of 74 kW and a maximum torque of 135 Nm, with the maximum power achieved at 6,000 rpm and the maximum torque available between 4,000 to 4,500 rpm. The engine features VVT technology and multi-point fuel injection, and it utilizes an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. The dimensions of the Changan Benben are 3,525 mm in length, 1,650 mm in width, and 1,550 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,410 mm.
I'm quite familiar with the Changan Benben. Its engine is typically a three-cylinder design, especially the fuel version which is quite common for city driving. The advantage of the three-cylinder is its compact size, light weight, and quick start-up response, with fuel consumption controlled at around six liters per hundred kilometers. It's economical and practical for those on a tight budget. However, the engine vibration can be slightly noticeable at low speeds, which is a common issue with three-cylinder engines, but modern tuning has improved this, making it smoother at higher speeds. Maintenance is also straightforward, with fewer spark plug changes and low upkeep costs, making it suitable for novice car owners. I recommend test driving it to feel the power; its compact size makes it particularly agile on crowded streets.
