Engine1.3 L I4 (petrol) / 1.4 L I4 (petrol)

The Chana Taurustar is a 5-door wagon from Changan Automobile, built from 2010 to 2015, as electrification stopped being an experiment and the crossover took every market. Under the bonnet: 1.3 L I4.

What is underneath

Power comes from 1.3 L I4; other versions carried different engines, listed in the specification table below. It shifts through a 5-speed manual. The layout matters: the engine sits behind the driver and ahead of the rear axle, which puts the mass in the middle of the car and is why mid-engined cars change direction the way they do. The wheelbase is 2605 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.

Its place in the line

Its contemporaries in the catalogue — the Nissan Leaf, the Lexus LFA, the Jeep Grand Cherokee — show what else the money bought that year. Nearby in the Changan Automobile catalogue sit the Avatr 06 and the Avatr 07.
