micro electric vehicle is a good means of transportation for many small families. It can meet the needs of surrounding driving, and the price is often not too high. What I want to talk to you about today is the 2022 Benben E-Star of the Changan family with colorful lithium iron phosphate. The guide price of this trial model is 74,800. Compared with the low-end version, the price will be 0.5 higher. 10,000 yuan, but the functions will be richer, and there is no big difference in battery life. All models can reach 310 kilometers. They support fast charging function and can charge to 80% in 0.5 hours. In slow charging mode, 12 hours. If there is a home charging pile, charging at night and driving away in the morning will take about the same time.
In terms of appearance, Benben E-Star does not feel monotonous at all. The lines are relatively tough, and green embellishments are added to the left and right sides of the lower surround, making it look smaller and fresher. The logo in the middle is designed with a blue background to prove the identity of the new energy source. There are textures around it, which makes it feel more textured. The shape of the headlight group is not very regular. The daytime running lights occupy a relatively large position. They are wraparound at the top and arranged in a matrix at the bottom. The high and low beams are placed in the right corner. With LED light sources, the penetration is not bad. , the function is relatively simple, only providing height adjustment and delayed shutdown.
As a hatchback mini car, many people are concerned about the size. It is indeed not big, but it also has the advantage that it is more flexible to drive in the city. The length, width and height are 3770×1650×1570 mm, the wheelbase is 2410 mm, and the vehicle weighs less than 1.2 tons. It is considered a heavyweight among competitors in the same level. The side waistline has a good sense of swooping, and it seems to be obviously low in front and high in back, which runs through the position of the door handle. The door handle does not use a hidden design. After all, the cost of building a car is limited. The bottom wheel hub does not feel monotonous. It adopts a two-color five-spoke design. The size is 15 inches, which is completely sufficient compared with the body.
The rear of the car is a bit plainer. There is a relatively large black border around the rear window glass and a wavy undulation below. The taillight groups on the left and right sides are similar in shape to leaves. The internal light group uses a halogen light source. When lit, you will feel Something low-key. As a mini car, the trunk space is average under normal conditions. The height of the trunk when opened is good, reaching 800 mm, but without the seats, the depth is relatively average, only 550 mm. After the rear seats are folded down, the depth can reach 1360 mm.
Entering the Benben E-Star, the style does not feel monotonous. It is equipped with a dual-screen design. The full LCD screen and central control screen are both 10.25 inches. It supports the Internet of Vehicles function, and the sense of technology is not inferior to that of mainstream models. Due to the price, the central control panel is mainly made of hard plastic, which feels cheap. The steering wheel has a flat-bottomed design and is not large in size. It is suitable for girls to hold with one hand. Multi-function buttons can be seen on the left and right sides. There is only one mobile phone charging port in the front row, and there is a 12V port next to it. There are not many speakers, only 4. For a mini car, it is sufficient, but the sound quality is average.
From the perspective of comfort, the fabric seat has a relatively average padding. For those who are used to sitting on sofa seats, it may feel hard at first, and the back padding is relatively thin. Fortunately, you won't be driving a mini car for long distances, and it won't be too uncomfortable for daily home use. From the perspective of space, I am 1.77 meters tall. Sitting in the car is much better than expected. The seat is adjusted to the lowest position and there is still a punch of headroom. The headroom in the rear row will be reduced. In the three-finger position, the legroom is one to two fingers. It is not too rich, but it is not too oppressive. If you usually sit with children, the second row is completely comfortable.
From a power point of view, it is equipped with a front-mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor . In terms of parameters, the maximum power is 55kW, and the maximum torque of is 170N·m. Just looking at the parameters, you can tell that the performance will be relatively average. It is relatively flat at the start. When you step on the accelerator pedal with all your strength, the linear feeling is not too outstanding. It is sufficient for driving in the city. The top speed is 101km/h.The kinetic energy recovery system has two gears to choose from, and you can choose according to your own needs. During the braking process, the braking force is released in the early stage, which is not a big problem when driving on city roads. If the vehicle speed is too high, you need to pay attention to maintaining a good distance between the vehicles.
Finally, let’s talk about the cost of the car. We calculate it based on driving 20,000 kilometers per year. The official power consumption per 100 kilometers is not high, only 11.3kwh. If one kilowatt hour of electricity costs 80 cents, the annual cost is 1,808 yuan. From a maintenance perspective, the first warranty is carried out at 5,000 kilometers or three months, and only routine inspections are required. The cost is 180 yuan, which is much cheaper than a fuel vehicle. After that, the official maintenance frequency is 10,000 kilometers or once every 6 months. The frequency is relatively high, so calculated based on one year, the cost will be 702 yuan.
