The interior is spacious but not as versatile as most minivans with similar characteristics, primarily because the chances of interior settings are lower than usual. Nor can carry some items of equipment which are available in most of its alternatives, such as xenon headlights, a rear camera for easy maneuvering or audiovisual entertainment system for rear passengers.
These deficiencies are reflected in the price, aspect that is clearly better than the competition and that is closer to that of the carriers that are smaller, as the Renault Grand Scénic- That those measuring more or less like him (4.65 m)-for example, aRenault Espace -.
Thus, it is possible to buy an Orlando from € 16,780-gasoline-powered, a price significantly lower than in models like the Mazda5 , Renault Grand Scenic, Opel Zafira Tourer or the Citroën Grand C4 Picasso , all petrol engines from 130 to 160 hp. Limiting the search to those with similar power diesel engine, it is the same: the price difference is noticeable.
Functional Disadvantages Orlando are the second row has three individual seats and central square is like a normal car: the sidewalk is narrow and has a foam padding that collects hard little body. Nor is it possible to move over a lane this row of seats to change the legroom. Yes you can change the angle of the backrest.
In order to travel with children are missing items like curtains to protect them from the sun and the unavailability of integrated child seats in the seats. For the available width, the Orlando is a car suitable for carrying three seats in the second row but the middle can not be secured with Isofix because it lacks them. With the third row seats collected, the trunk is small if compared with its alternatives, only the Mazda5 (which has a shorter body) is less. It is small because it has very little height from floor to curtain covering it. Naturally this curtain can be removed and thus carry items to the ceiling, but it is inadvisable because in this car no anchor planned to place a network that separates the occupants of the load. With seven seats luggage capacity is only 89 liters.
There are three trim levels: "LT" "LT +" and "LTZ". The 163 hp diesel version is only available with the "LTZ" while the other Diesel can not have that level of equipment and yes the other two. The gasoline can be purchased with any of them. More affordable versions ("LT") can not have practical items like cruise control, climate control, automatic lights and wipers, browser or Bluetooth hands-free system for mobile phones.
Some driving impressions
We carefully tested version 2.0 Diesel 163 hp. With this engine performance and consumption are good. The version with petrol engine 141 hp seems like not a recommended alternative against the more powerful diesel except for the big price difference in your favor, about 4,700 €. The Diesel of 131 hp costs € 1,120 more than gasoline.
We tested the 131 HP diesel to see that there is difference in performance with 163 hp. According to data provided by Chevrolet, accelerating from 0-100 km / h only 0.3 seconds apart. The authorized consumption is the same (6.0 l/100 km). The Chevrolet Orlando has a suspension a bit hard and dry, which is rare in such vehicles often lead a well insulated soft occupants of state floor.This feeling we have had so much on a drive with 16 inch rim and tire measures 215/60 and in a 17-inch with 225/50-the first sidewall is 129 mm, while in the second there are 113 millimeters Rubber.
All engines are four cylinders and traction is through the front wheels. The gasoline engine is standard five-speed manual gearbox, while the diesel has a six relationships. Optionally you can purchase a six-speed automatic transmission in the petrol version and the diesel more power.
