The curb weight of the Chang'an Benben is 1020kg. The Benben is an economical compact car designed and developed by Chang'an Automobile, a subsidiary of China Chang'an Automobile Group. China Chang'an Automobile Group Co., Ltd., formerly known as China South Industries Automobile Co., Ltd., was established in December 2005 and renamed on July 1, 2009. It is a large enterprise group established by China Ordnance Equipment Group Corporation to integrate and optimize its automotive industry. It is one of China's four major automobile groups, headquartered in Beijing. The weight of a car is typically around 1.5-2.6 tons. The weight of a car refers to its mass. The curb weight, or "empty weight," is the weight of the car when fully equipped according to factory specifications, with all fluids filled. The curb weight is an important design indicator for a car and a significant parameter affecting fuel consumption. A vehicle's fuel consumption is directly proportional to its curb weight—the heavier the car, the more fuel it consumes. The gross vehicle weight refers to the weight of the car when fully equipped and loaded with passengers (including the driver) and cargo as specified. Reasons for weight differences in car engines: Car engines are made from materials such as cast aluminum, cast steel, and cast iron. Depending on the vehicle classification, the engine's designed displacement, number of cylinders, and weight vary. Under the same material conditions, a 4-cylinder engine is lighter than a 6-cylinder, a 6-cylinder is lighter than an 8-cylinder, and an 8-cylinder is lighter than a 12-cylinder. Generally, minivan engines are lighter than those in compact cars, and compact car engines are lighter than those in mid-size cars. The engine of a minivan can be moved manually and usually weighs less than 100 pounds, while the engine of a large truck can weigh several hundred pounds or even over a ton.
