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.[1]
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.[2] The Chana Taurustar is manufactured by Chana, Changan's commercial division.
