Overview
File:2010 Chana Taurustar (rear).jpg
Chana Taurustar was released by Changan Automobile on November 16, 2010. The Taurustar is essentially a premium edition of the Chana Star S460 microvan with both sharing exactly the same wheelbase and powered by the same 82 kW 1.3 liter engine unit.
Chana launched a separate logo for the Taurustar alone, and was criticized for having a graphic that resembles the bull from the Lamborghini logo. The logo was intended to highlight the microvan as the flagship in the "Star" light commercial vehicle lineup.{{cite web|url=http://chinaautoweb.com/car-models/changan-taurustar-microvan/|title=Changan Taurustar Microvan}}
As of May 2014, a minor facelift was conducted to the Chana Taurustar, featuring a restyled front end, a name change to Chana Star 7, and an engine replacement going from 1.3 liter to 1.4 liter.{{cite web|url=https://chinaautoweb.com/car-models/chana-star-7-mini-van/|title=Chana Star 7 Mini Van (Taurustar)}} The Chana Taurustar is manufactured by Chana, Changan's commercial division.
