History
The Chery V5 or Eastar Cross was originally revealed at the Beijing Motor Show in 2004 by Chinese manufacturer Chery, the original Eastar Cross is built on the same platform, as the second generation Chery Eastar and served as the estate version of the Eastar mid-size sedan. Chery unveiled their updated V5 at the Hangzhou Motor Show on June 5, 2015.
In September 2009 it debuts a slight restyle and is renamed Rely V5 in the Chinese market, where Rely on indicates the new sub-brand created by Chery to market MPVs and off-roaders. With this restyling, it gains a new chrome grille and new interior trim, as well as improved trim.[4]
The V5 is a crossover combining estate with MPV and seats up to seven, and is rebadged and sold as the Rely on V5 in China and Chery Destiny in certain foreign markets.[5]

A locally assembled version was launched on 3 September 2008 and was sold as the Chery Eastar. Unlike the earlier version, this model came with a 2.4 liter SOHC Mitsubishi long-stroke engine producing 127 hp (95 kW) at 5,500 rpm and 198 N⋅m (146 lbf⋅ft) of torque at 3,000 rpm. It is mated to a 4-speed automatic transmission with manual shifting. It came with 1 year free service (for the first 1,000 units sold) and a 3+2 year warranty.[7]
