The data shows that the sales volume of Changan Benben E-Star in the first quarter of this year was 26119 vehicles, and the sales volume in the market was not very bad, ranking third in the pure electric mini car market, less than Hongguang MINIEV and Chery QQ ice cream.

Similar to the reasons for the previous announcement of the suspension of the Euler black and white cat and the Geely EX3 kung fu cattle, as a mini-car, it originally relied on low prices to create revenue, and in the context of rising raw material prices, the profitability of the mini-car became a problem, although the reason for the suspension of the E-Star national version of the Ben Ben was limited production capacity, but the deeper reason may still have to make way for other models with higher profitability.
