Jilin originally built a licensed version of the 1976-1979 Suzuki Carry Wide (seventh generation), called the Jilin JL 110C/E. It was equipped with the same 797 cc four-cylinder F8A engine as used in the export version Carry ST80. Power was {{convert|35|PS|kW|0|abbr=on}}. Later, the {{convert|37|PS|kW|0|abbr=on}} 796 cc F8B was also made available. The JL 110E was a high-roof version of the van, and there was also a JL 110G, a long-wheelbase eight-seater version with the {{convert|45|PS|kW|0|abbr=on}} 970 cc F10A four-cylinder engine. The car was stretched by {{convert|30|cm|in|abbr=on}} just behind the front door, to allow for another row of seats. It was also {{convert|15|cm|in|abbr=on}} wider and could reach {{convert|100|km/h|mph|0|abbr=on}}.{{Cite book | title = Quattroruote: Tutte le Auto del Mondo 1990 | editor = Mastrostefano, Raffaele | publisher = Editoriale Domus S.p.A | year = 1990 | page = 405 | language = it | location = Milano }}

Most of Jilin's previous products are small vans and trucks based on the ninth generation Suzuki Carry (second generation Suzuki Every). After a series of reskins, most recently the CA6360 of 2003, not much of the Suzuki heritage besides the sliding doors remains visible. The 6-seater CA6350/6361, and the four-passenger pickup version CA 1016, first appeared in 1999. The engines available are an 870 cc four-cylinder with either {{convert|38|or|44|PS|kW|0|abbr=on}} and a 1,051 cc version with {{convert|52|PS|kW|0|abbr=on}}. The CA1010, a regular pickup version, was shown in 2003. The more modern-looking 6- to 8-seat CA 6360 is equipped with the two more powerful engines (44 or 52 PS).{{cite book | title = World of Cars 2006·2007 | publisher = Media Connection Sp. z o.o. | location = Warsaw, Poland | page = 226 | year = 2006 }}
The larger, more modern yet AV6 CA6371 minivan debuted at the Shanghai Motor Show in August 2005. The streamlined 5-seat minivan CA6410 has also been listed as available since the late 1990s. The Daihatsu Xenia SUV has been built by Jilin as the Jilin-Senya M80 since 2007, and at the Beijing Auto Show in May 2010 the new Senya S80 (or Xenia) was introduced. The S80 features more body cladding and equipment, justifying a somewhat higher price. The engine is a 1.5-liter four-cylinder with {{convert|75|kW|PS|0|abbr=on}} and {{convert|140|Nm|lb.ft|0|abbr=on}}, providing a top speed of {{convert|170|km/h|mph|0|abbr=on}}. The FAW Xenia S80 was released in December 2010.{{cite news|url=http://chinaautoweb.com/2010/12/new-models-from-the-2010-guangzhou-auto-show-4-faw-xenia-senya-s80/ |title=New Models from the 2010 Guangzhou Auto Show (4): FAW Xenia (Senya) S80 |publisher=ChinaAutoWeb.com}}
The Senya M80 was later discontinued and was replaced by the Senya R7 subcompact crossover launched on the Chinese car market in the first quarter of 2016 sharing platforms with the Besturn X40.{{cite web|url=https://carnewschina.com/2015/12/30/faw-senya-r7-suv-is-ready-for-china/|title=FAW Senya R7 SUV is Ready for China | work = CarNewsChina | date = 2015-12-30 | first = W.E. | last = Ning | archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20180530040940/https://carnewschina.com/2015/12/30/faw-senya-r7-suv-is-ready-for-china/ | archivedate = 2018-05-30 }} From 2018, the Senya family changed its name to Senia. A larger Senia R9 compact crossover followed later and debuted on the 2018 Beijing Auto Show and was launched on the Chinese car market in May 2018.{{cite web|url=https://carnewschina.com/2018/04/08/faw-senya-r9-suv-will-debut-on-the-2018-beijing-auto-show/|title=FAW Senya R9 SUV Will Debut On The 2018 Beijing Auto Show|date=8 April 2018 }}
