The Chery Eastar (or Oriental Sun/ 东方之子) is a mid-size car produced by the Chinese manufacturer Chery. The styling is controversial for heavily resembling the first generation Chevrolet Epica/ Daewoo Magnus sedan. A limousine version and parade car versions were also produced. [1] [2] The Eastar received a major facelift in 2012 and was also sold as the Chery Cowin 5 to be inline with the other Cowin sub-brand products.[3]
