Used Car Review - Chana Benni (2008-2012)
Car Choices:
An 84hp 1.3 4-cylinder sourced from Suzuki powers this Chinese hatchback. It has enough grunt for city trips but becomes noisy when driven hardly.
One negative against the Benni is the equipment discrepancy. This means if you want something, you have to get that transmission which is bundled with it. MT models have front and rear fog lamps, dual airbags, color coded handles, all power windows, and CD player. AT variants get front power windows, driver's airbag, front fog lamp, chrome bits, and CD player with MP3 capability.
