The Changan Benben E-Star is currently out of stock due to high demand. Below are the detailed specifications of the Benben E-Star: 1. Vehicle Positioning: The Benben E-Star is a microcar under Changan Automobile, with dimensions of 3770*1650*1570mm (L*W*H). 2.

Powertrain: Equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous motor delivering a maximum power of 55kW and peak torque of 170N·m.

I recently wanted to buy a Changan Benben e-star, but I visited several 4S stores and none had it in stock, which is quite frustrating. Probably the demand is too high—electric cars are so popular now, especially small models like this with high cost-performance, attracting many buyers, but production can’t keep up. I heard the semiconductor chip shortage is still affecting automakers, causing delays in parts supply and reduced output. Additionally, logistics are slow—it takes time for vehicles to be transported from factories to dealers. With the economic situation, manufacturers prioritize large orders or hot-selling models. My advice is to contact more stores to check inventory or place a pre-order, which might take a few weeks. Don’t forget to check the official website or app for updates to avoid missing restocks—after all, the electric vehicle trend is unstoppable.
