Chery Eastar

The Chery Eastar (, Oriental Sun) is a mid-size car produced by the Chinese manufacturer Chery.

First Generation

The styling is controversial for heavily resembling the first generation Chevrolet Epica/Daewoo Magnus sedan. A limousine version and parade car versions were also produced.[2][3] The Eastar received a major facelift in 2012 and was also sold as the Chery Cowin 5 to be inline with the other Cowin sub-brand products.[4]

Second Generation

The Chery Eastar II (or Chery E8) is a mid-size car produced by the Chinese manufacturer Chery since 2012.[5] A station wagon version was also available named the Chery Eastar Cross.
