Eastar is a mid-size sedan under Chery's independent brand. Below are the relevant introductions about the Eastar: 1. The 1.8-liter naturally aspirated engine has a maximum power of 97 kW, a maximum torque of 170 Nm, a maximum power speed of 5750 rpm, and a maximum torque speed range of 4300 to 4500 rpm. 2. The 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine has a maximum power of 102 kW, a maximum torque of 182 Nm, a maximum power speed of 5750 rpm, and a maximum torque speed range of 4300 to 4500 rpm. 3. The 2.4-liter naturally aspirated engine has a maximum power of 95 kW, a maximum torque of 198 Nm, a maximum power speed of 5500 rpm, and a maximum torque speed of 3000 rpm.
I remember that the Eastar was a model under the Chery brand, a domestic Chinese automaker headquartered in Wuhu, Anhui, founded in the late 1990s. I've been fascinated by automotive history since childhood and find this model quite representative, as it was launched in the early 2000s as Chery's attempt to enter the mid-size car market. I heard the Eastar drew design inspiration from some foreign brands but was much more affordable, targeting family users and corporate buyers. It was equipped with a Mitsubishi engine and basic features like ABS, which were quite practical for that era. Unfortunately, due to insufficient brand promotion and Chery's subsequent focus on more popular models like the QQ and Tiggo series, the Eastar gradually faded from the market. As someone interested in Chinese cars, I think it symbolizes the early exploratory phase of Chinese automakers and holds significant historical value.
