Changan Benben Mini is equipped with a 4-cylinder all-aluminum engine, which belongs to the Changan C10 engine series. It boasts outstanding advantages such as high power, high torque, low fuel consumption, low emissions, and low noise. The engine has a displacement of 1.0 liters, with a maximum power output of 51.2 kW and a peak torque of 90 Nm, achieving a specific power of 51 kW per liter. The Changan Benben Mini is an A00-class strategic model launched by Chongqing Changan Automobile Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of China Changan Automobile Group. The vehicle measures 3520 mm in length, 1570 mm in width, and 1490 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2345 mm. In terms of exterior design, the Changan Benben Mini maintains the traditional styling of Changan passenger cars, featuring a prominent brand logo on the enlarged grille and adopting an eagle-inspired front fascia design.
I'm the owner of a Changan Benben MINI, a second-hand model I bought last year. The engine is clearly a three-cylinder design, typically with a displacement of 1.0L. After driving it for a while, I found it particularly fuel-efficient for city commuting, with an average fuel consumption of around 6L/100km, saving me hundreds of yuan a month on gas. The power output is smooth, and acceleration isn't aggressive, though there's occasional slight vibration at high speeds. To ensure accuracy, I checked the vehicle manual and consulted a friend at a repair shop. The Benben MINI focuses on economy and practicality, hence the use of a three-cylinder engine to reduce body weight and costs. Other similar compact cars like the BYD F0 also commonly feature this configuration. A tip for new buyers: it's best to test-drive before purchasing to feel if the engine response is normal, avoiding modified or problematic second-hand vehicles.
