Best Value for Your Peso: Chana Star II

The Chana Star II, along with its roomy cabin and understated, yet decent exterior, safety features and fuel economy, offers much to families and businesses, alike, and is a standout addition to the country’s saturated minivan category.

At first glance, the Star II looks as if it is one of those old-fashioned minivans that had been on the road for quite a while. However, one must not be taken aback by its appearance as it boasts of a sturdy exterior, very much capable of carrying heavy loads.

The Star II’s cabin, which can easily accommodate 7 adult passengers comfortably, boasts of a relaxing ride as it is fully air conditioned and has a lot of passenger elbow room. More so, it provides a great deal of comfort, thanks to its ergonomically designed seats, which offer an ocean of legroom. The minivan has also been tastefully fitted with a rear, folding seat, allowing for optimum cargo space. The sliding doors on opposite sides of the minivan are a plus, allowing passengers’ easy ingress and egress.

Dutifully appointed with a sturdy chassis and an adequate sum of seatbelts, the Star II guarantees a premium on safety.

Whether it is used to drive around the Metro or across the archipelago, the Star II’s 1.3 liter engine does an admirable job of moving passengers within short and long distances. One interesting fact about the Star II is that its handling is improved while travelling to farther destinations at high speeds. Another thing worth noting is the minivan’s fuel economy. Even during mixed driving, the Star II gives a lot of mileage per liter.

The Star II’s desirable aesthetics, functionality, safety features and robust, fuel-efficient engine clearly shows that it’s not just a fun family van—it’s also a competent business solution.  

In all, the Star II is a solid contender in the minivan segment and should strongly be considered by people looking to own a reliable vehicle that is inexpensive, yet top-notch.

To prove once again Chana’s claim to reliability, the Star II is backed up by a warranty period of 3 years or 100,000 kilometers, whichever comes first.

As oil prices soar anew, minivans are garnering much appeal to Filipino families, businessmen, transport groups, and even large-scale companies who are looking to purchase low-displacement vehicles that have business utility and/or otherwise to cut their expenses.
