2 Answers
The maximum range of the new car is 200km, and the top speed can reach 125km/h. Here is some relevant information about the Changan Benben: 1. Engine: The Changan Benben's engine is equipped with VVT technology and multi-point fuel injection technology, and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. It is paired with either a 5-speed manual transmission or a 5-speed AMT transmission. 2. Body dimensions: The Changan Benben is Changan's first independently developed passenger car, with both the engine and exterior design being entirely self-developed. In terms of body dimensions, the Changan Benben measures 3525mm in length, 1650mm in width, and 1550mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2365mm.
I've been driving the Changan Benben for over half a year now, with a daily commute of about 40 kilometers. The advertised range on a full charge is 310 kilometers, but in reality, it fluctuates between 280 and 300 kilometers. When using the air conditioning in summer, the range drops to around 250 kilometers, and it's about the same in cold winter weather. Charging is quite convenient; a fast-charging station can get it to 80% in half an hour, and a home slow charger can fully charge it overnight. Driving gently and avoiding sudden braking helps conserve more battery. The range is less affected in the city with frequent traffic lights, and it can handle a continuous run of about 100 kilometers on the highway without issues. I find this range perfectly adequate for daily use, and for weekend outings, a quick charge beforehand is all that's needed, so I don't have to constantly worry about charging stations.
