Changan Star III photos

The third generation Changan Star 5 commercial series launched in 2012 and remains in active production. The underlying chassis features reinforced frame rails and a heavy-duty leaf-sprung rear axle designed for high load capacity. The lineup includes 5-door passenger microvans, cargo panel vans, and larger Star 9 pickup variants. Power options encompass 1.0-liter, 1.2-liter, and 1.5-liter four-cylinder petrol engines developing between 69 and 116 horsepower, matched with a 5-speed manual transmission. Interior equipment includes electric power steering, anti-lock braking ABS, manual air conditioning, and a basic audio unit. The body utilizes galvanized steel sheets with side-impact door beams for crash protection. Exceptional fuel economy and low operating expenses make it an attractive fleet vehicle. The third generation is extensively distributed across China, Pakistan, Vietnam, and South American commercial markets.
