2 Answers
The length, width, and height of the Benben are 3525mm, 1650mm, and 1550mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2365mm. The front and rear track widths are 1400mm and 1385mm. Benben launch time: The Benben was officially launched at the Beijing Auto Show in November 2006. It is Changan's first independently developed passenger car, with three years of development from the engine to the exterior design. Following Changan's practical and people-friendly approach, the Benben is an economical hatchback targeted at young consumers. Benben styling: The design features predominantly straight lines, with prominent angular elements in the headlights, front hood, C-pillar, and taillights. Compared to the cute and playful design of the QQ, which was also styled in Italy, the Benben appears more straightforward and minimalist. Although the Benben has some shortcomings in terms of handling, its advantages in power and affordability give it a competitive edge among vehicles in its class.
I often get asked about the dimensions of the Benben car, which is indeed very popular as an urban microcar. Generally, the Benben is about 3600 mm in length, approximately 1650 mm in width, and around 1550 mm in height. This compact size makes it agile and particularly suitable for crowded urban areas—for example, you can easily park it in tight spaces. Personally, I find the width sufficient, with two passengers sitting side by side without feeling cramped, and the height is also good; even at 1.8 meters tall, I didn’t hit my head during the test drive. The compact design is fuel-efficient, with surprisingly low fuel consumption, making it convenient for daily commutes or grocery runs. The electric version’s dimensions remain largely unchanged, and maintenance is straightforward. Overall, it’s a practical choice, especially ideal for beginner drivers.
