Even though the overall domestic auto market has not been out of the cold winter, the new energy vehicle market has achieved counter-trend growth, which shows how fast the development trend of new energy vehicles is. Nowadays, the range of choices in the new energy vehicle market is more diverse. There are high-end brands such as Tesla, and there is no shortage of urban scooter options for ordinary consumers. For example, Hongguang MINIEV became a hit after its launch last year, and this year a powerful player emerged in the urban scooter market-Benben E-Star National Edition.
Since the start of the pre-sale, the Benben E-Star National Edition only took 3 days to order 6,000 units, which shows how much consumers are paying attention to this new car. Therefore, Paike also tested the Benben E-Star National Edition for the first time this time to see if this car is really fragrant.
Although most consumers buy micro pure electric vehicles for transportation, this does not mean that they have no pursuit of the driving quality of the car. Paike’s first experience of mini-electric vehicles came from shared electric vehicles. The uneven vehicle conditions and the low-cost driving quality did not impress me too well. So how does this Benben E-Star national version open?
First of all, the power of the Ben Ben E-Star National Edition is sufficient for traveling in the city. The Pike test drive is the high-end Xinyue version, which is equipped with a maximum power of 55kW and a peak torque of 170N ·M permanent magnet synchronous motor. Thanks to the characteristics of a pure electric vehicle that can output the maximum torque at startup, the Benben E-Star National Edition starts very lightly. Especially when starting at traffic lights, Benben E-Star National Edition can accelerate 0~50km/h in 4.9 seconds, which always gives me a sense of superiority in the lead. In addition, during the test drive, Paike also encountered a steep slope on the underground garage. Fortunately, the Benben E-Star National Edition also passed smoothly without any slipping.
Even as the speed continues to increase, Paike can feel that the acceleration of the Benben E-Star National Edition is gradually decreasing, but it can still reach a top speed of 125km/h, so you don’t have to worry about obstruction Other models are normal.
Compared with the power, the Benben E-Star National Edition fascinates me more because of its excellent controllability. Perhaps many consumers do not have a strong concept of controllability, after all, it is difficult to reflect the controllability of a car in daily driving in the city. However, Changan New Energy's engineers obviously did not neglect the maneuverability adjustment of the Benben E-Star National Edition.
From the hardware level, the Benben E-Star National Edition is equipped with a hydraulic ring beam subframe, which is usually used in B-class cars. The advantage of this is that although the body size is not large, the stability of the Benben E-Star National Edition has reached a leapfrog level. Even high-speed driving does not make me feel "erratic". In addition, the steering response time of this car is very fast, and there is a sense of kart fun when cornering.
Of course, Paike did a lot of intense driving on the Benben E-Star National Edition, trying to find its control limit, so it found a test drive route with many curves. When trying to make a turn at a higher speed, as long as the front of the car has passed, the rear will not drag at all. In the past, Paike tried to drive a micro pure electric vehicle of another brand, and it blindly adjusted the suspension to create a sense of comfort. Not only did the driver feel like it was sailing, but the passengers were also prone to motion sickness. The suspension of the Benben E-Star National Edition is very tough, and it can filter the potholes thoroughly, and it can also take into account the roll control when cornering, making it easy to drive and comfortable. Therefore, after the test drive, I think the Benben E-Star National Edition is more than just a scooter. The rich driving fun will make me happy to enjoy the process of driving it.
In addition to outstanding driving quality, let's talk about the factor that consumers will focus on when buying a pure electric vehicle-cruising range. The Benben E-Star National Edition Xinyue version tested by Paike is equipped with a battery with a capacity of 31.18kWh, and its cruising range has reached 301km, which is dominant in its class. After a day of test drive, Paike found that the mileage of the Benben E-Star National Edition is not much different from the actual mileage, which shows that its battery life is not a false standard.
If your car's daily purpose is to commute to and from get off work every day,Assuming that the total round-trip distance reaches 40km, the Benben E-Star National Edition can also guarantee at least one week without charging, and even leave a lot of cruising mileage on weekends for you to go out and socialize. In addition, Benben E-Star National Edition has a major advantage in limited-licensed cities such as Shanghai, which is that you can enjoy exclusive new energy license plates, which means you no longer need to worry about traffic restrictions and greatly improve travel efficiency.
In addition, if you pursue the quality of life and love self-driving travel, Benben E-Star National Edition is also fully capable. Taking living in the center of Shanghai as an example, traveling to surrounding provinces and cities such as Wuxi, Changzhou, Jiaxing, Hangzhou, etc., are all within 200km, and the range of travel that can be covered by the cruising mileage is already very wide. In addition, thanks to the sufficient power, the air conditioner can be fully turned on during the journey to enjoy the comfort of travel, bringing the satisfaction of warm winter and cool summer to the occupants.
In addition to the 301km Xinyue version of the Benben E-Star national version, the fast charge function can be upgraded for only 999 yuan, and the battery can be charged from 30% to 80% in 30 minutes, and the life radius does not need to be Imprisoned within the range of cruising range. As the infrastructure facilities such as charging piles in the high-speed service area are constantly being improved, with just one meal, you can drive the E-Star National Edition with sufficient power to continue your journey.
At present, there are not many options for urban scooters in the domestic market, but Paike found that models such as Hongguang MINIEV and Chery New Energy's small ant equivalent models have adopted a two-door 4-seater setting, although they have a higher profile It looks good, but it sacrifices a lot of practicality. The Benben E-Star National Edition adopts a more practical 4-door 5-seater design on the basis of ensuring a stylish and dynamic appearance. The advantage is that the rear seat can accommodate one more passenger and it is more relaxed when entering the rear seat of the vehicle. Especially for elderly people with limited mobility, letting them get into the back row with difficulty will surely cause a lot of dissatisfaction, and it is even possible that they would rather take a taxi next time than suffer it.
The wheelbase of the Benben E-Star National Edition has reached 2410mm, thus creating ample space in the car. Paike’s height is 175cm,After adjusting the proper driving posture in the front row, sitting in the back row can gain head room with one punch and three fingers, and leg room has more than one punch. Such a space performance is inevitable for a mini car. It is pleasantly surprised.
In terms of riding comfort, the padding of the rear seats of the Benben E-Star National Edition is moderately soft and hard, and the longer seat cushions support the thighs well, while the nearly flat middle platform is good for The passengers in the middle are also friendly enough, and the overall ride experience deserves praise.
In addition, the volume of the trunk of the Benben E-Star National Edition is also very impressive, the rear seats also support 4/6 ratio down, and the space combination is quite flexible. When fully loaded, the trunk can still accommodate some small-sized items such as backpacks; if there is a lot of luggage, it happens that there is no need to load 5 people, and the seat is turned down, which will not affect the riding experience, and the luggage can be placed reasonably; If you need to carry larger items, the rear seats are all down, the larger trunk opening and the sufficient height of the car will surprise you with the loading capacity of the Benben E-Star National Edition.
The last thing that cannot be ignored is safety, which is also a major concern of many consumers for pure electric vehicles. It is worth mentioning that the front and rear overhangs of the Benben E-Star National Edition have reached 815mm and 540mm respectively, and sufficient buffer space can effectively reduce the possible harm to the occupants in the car during a collision. In addition, the front and rear collision beams and the four beams on the roof of the vehicle are bonus points for the passive safety of the Benben E-Star National Edition.
By the way, during the test drive, Paike ran into a cat suddenly rushing out of the road. At that time, I made a sudden direction and started a cold sweat. Fortunately, the cat, me, car All are safe and sound. After consulting the information, I found that the 125m double-shift lane change of Benben E-Star National Edition has a maximum passing speed of 106km/h, so there is no need to worry about its emergency obstacle avoidance capability.
Spontaneous combustion of electric vehicles is also a common topic. The cause of spontaneous combustion is mostly the power battery. It is trustworthy that the battery of Benben E-Star National Edition has IP68 waterproof and dustproof performance.Moreover, in the event of a collision, the battery core is not easily squeezed under the protection of the frame structure of the casing, which prevents the possibility of spontaneous combustion, explosion and other dangerous situations. Benben E-Star National Edition also has a battery steward function, which will analyze and evaluate the battery usage and health status, allowing users to know the battery status well and ensure a more correct way of using the car.
The era of cheating for new energy vehicles has long passed. If the products of today's new energy vehicles are not too strong, they will certainly not be recognized by consumers. After a test drive of the Benben E-Star National Edition, its comprehensive strength has really changed my concept of a new energy city scooter. Whether it is sufficient power, long cruising range, ample space performance or attention to safety, the Benben E-Star National Edition is particularly prominent in the same class of models. Considering that the price of the Benben E-Star national version is only 29,800 yuan, the super high value ratio undoubtedly makes it a very recommended choice in the field of urban scooter. Paike is also very optimistic about its future market performance. .
