[iho250]

yung color ba ng door panels ay sky blue with flowers or malabo lang ang tingin ko?

[JJCarEnthusiast]

cguro blue dots yun sir. o kaya mga dots na may design. di ko tiningnan ng maigi eh...

[flex]

ganda ah...

parang avanza ung front view...way way better than the chery QQ

Sir, would you have an idea how much this unit would cost?

sorry to dissapoint you guys but the horses inside the 1.3 liter engine of CHANA benni is not 88hp though 63kw was right! 1kw=1.31hp which means it only has 82.53hp to be exact.and it is available at 6000rpm. the tachometer (rpm guage) reads only at 7000rpm max with its REDLINE limit at 6000 which means to release all the horses in the engine you must reach the redline. and we all know that any engine reaching at 6000rpm shouts really loud (are you familiar with the hp of honda jazz 1.5 engine at around 5000+rpm just to reach its peak hp, it really shout out noise). though max torque of benni's engine is 110Nm (81ftlb) available at a low rev or 3000 and available until 4000 that means uphill and full load operation is very promising, specially acceleration. thanks to its electronically controlled accelerator pedal, no more sticky breakable cables is needed (probobly, with some aftermarket microchips will improve the acceleration better.hope there is available). so your asking for price range, sorry i can't tell until it is officially launch though i can give you all a clue. it's actually much expensive than ALTO and QQ (CHERRY is the brand name, the name of the car is QQ) in about 100K more, but around 60K cheaper than PICANTO and GETZ. just visit the MIAS on april 3-6 at WTC or buy TOPGEAR april issue it is critisize there... sorry i mean testdrive there. with its price range compare to it's direct competitor, all 4 models has 1.1 engine below like picanto and getz with a 490K though alto and qq is about 319K it only has .8 engine and around 340K for the 1.0 engine. benni with a 1.3 engine that delivers 82hp and a torque of 110Nm is really a value for money. more than this, a high torque at low rpm means you don't have to rev the engine at high rpm just to move it or rotate the wheels. this means that low rpm means low fuel consumption. and we all know fuel economy is no. 1 requirement now on vehicles.it has an ABS with load sensing proportioning valve (much like EBD but mechanical, instead of electronic), a drivers airbag, CD w/ AM/FM tuner plus MP3 aux. airconditioning is good, with cup holders like everybody wants in a car, much cargo and leg room. aluminum mag wheels with a 165/65R14 tires (china said a 170/60R15 can be fitted to benni's feet for max grip). front and rear fog lamps, third breaklight (sorry no rear window defogger on MT), halogen4 headlights (so HID can improve benni's night vision), electronic power steering (electric motor assist the drivers effort in steering the vehicle instead of hydraulic pump. wich by means driven by the engine by belt) which automatically increase steering effort as the vehicle travels faster or above 20KPH. that's why it becomes heavy when the vehicle is fast and lighter when slow. it is intensionally designed in all car models actually to assist stability in highway driving like hydraulic power steering does. power lock, power window, engine anti theft so you can't go to MR. QUICKY to have your favorite disigned duplicate keys, because a sensor is located at the ignition switch that senses the correct key. once a duplicate key was inserted, it will start for a moment at the engine shutoffs it self. and guys don't worry about parts, its avialable in china.... i mean in chana philippines. so much for my magazine article, so for any comments or question, i'll be glad to share things with you regarding benni.

chana! akala ko indian restaurant o pagkain hahaha..

pricing should be around 350-380k lang..yes its feature packed but..will it last? yan tanong ng madlang people na bibili..kung mazda nga eh may doubts pa tao nung lumabas yung mazda3. lalo na unknown and new car brand, sana super mura for a chance to compete..parang china dvd players,mp3 players etc..yun bang ok lang kapag nasira dahil mura lang

well when mazda release the 3 people doubts doesn't remains doubts until it beats the sales of lancer, lynx and sentra. of course who can beat altis and civic. but come to think of it, cherry was given a chance though ranks number 5 in china and the manufacturer of chana benni (changan automobile in chongqing china) ranks number 3. and changan automobile is also the sub manufacturer of suzuki and ford mondeo, s-max and focus in china where the technology of chana vehicles (BENNI) was adopted. specially on its electrical system like ignition, abs and air bag that uses the technology of BOSCH and DELPHI. and the benni uses the suzuki engine like the one in the suzuki APV.

so you mean if you have a cheap car around 350K-380K that overheats and the engine breaks down thats ok concidering it's only a china brand you wont regret buying a new china brand again cause its cheap? man your RICH!!!!! its not a USB flashdrive. with a full pack features comes a price ofcourse with a garranty and warranty of quality, quantity, safety, reliability, comport and performance.

just visit the chana test drive at MIAS on april 3-6 to find out.

was talking about pricing it low for people to even consider buying it..wala pa dun yung reliability factor.. so i think i get what you are trying to say na wala sa pricing basta ok performance.. . will people gamble on it kapag malapit lang ang presyo ninyo sa more popular established brands? im not putting your product down ha? Im just wondering....

They went to Subic last Holy Week and they sang praises with the Benni's torquey engine while traversing the zigzag roads of Olongapo with 4 people and their luggage

We were trying to find the power steering fluid reservoir and to our surprise, it's not there. Electronic power steering pala, so this means less parasitic loss sa engine than the hydraulic type.

Our community will be the first to know regarding reliability factors, parts etc. for this car.

But as of now the car has ran 1,500kms and still going strong with no problems.

BTW same issue din yan dati sa Hyundai when they started and look at them now. IMHO if the manufacturer stands and believes with their products it can go a long way.

Also pala you can check on this website and read if reliability is an issue.
