# Chana Star

The Chana Star or Changan Star, more recently the Kaicene Star, (Chinese: 长安之星) is a series of trucks and microvans built and sold by Changan Automobile under the Chana brand since 1999. The Changan Star series was later repositioned under the Kaicene sub-brand of Changan Automobile.
The Star started off as rebadged tenth generation Suzuki Carry trucks and Suzuki Every vans, with multiple bodystyles spawned by Changan Automobile available. The model was later extended into a product series with several models.

## First generation (1999–2014)

The Chana Star was launched in 1999 based on the Suzuki Every Plus and Ford Pronto vans. A few models were available, including a single cab pickup, double cab pickup, standard van, and an extended version van featuring hinged doors instead of sliding doors.
The successor, Chan Star 2, was launched in 2007. However, the Chana Star 2 has not replaced the Chana Star, which, after a subtle facelift restyling, remains on the market positioned just below the Chana Star 2 as of early 2014 with a starting price lowered to 25,000 Yuan.
