Description
The BenBen E‑Star is a compact 5‑door, 5‑seat electric hatchback designed for urban mobility.
It is powered by a single front‑mounted electric motor producing around 55 kW (≈75 hp) and 170 Nm of torque.
Its battery pack is approximately 30‑32 kWh, giving it a rated range of up to 310 km under CLTC/NEDC test cycles.
The top speed is modest, around 101 km/h, which suits city and suburban driving but is less suited for high‑speed highway usage.
Dimensionally, it measures about 3770 mm in length, 1650 mm in width and 1570 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2410 mm.
The curb weight is around 1,180 kg, making it light for an electric vehicle, which helps with efficiency.
It uses a front‑wheel drive layout with MacPherson independent front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension.
Charging capability includes AC slow charging (around 12 hours) and DC fast charging that can bring the battery from ~30% to ~80% in about 30–50 minutes depending on variant.
Inside, it offers features suited for city use: an infotainment system, USB ports, voice recognition (in some trims), and basic driver‑assist technologies.
Safety equipment typically includes dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, tire‑pressure monitoring, ISOFIX child‑seat mounts and electronic parking brake on some trims.
The design emphasizes practicality and economy rather than premium performance — making it a budget‑friendly electric car option for commuting and city errands.
Overall, the BenBen E‑Star is ideal for urban drivers seeking an affordable, zero‑emission hatchback with enough range for daily driving and low running costs.
