Chevrolet Orlando is a car that is produced from the State of South Korea. Although including a new car, but this car has a special characteristic with the old Chevrolet car. Only for this car is a car Chevrolet Orlando from the incorporation of an SUV with a station wagon. This car has a shape that looks sporty appearance and is very strong. Chevrolet just unveiled the Orlando at the Paris Motor Show last week, and it is one of the cars debuted that looks like it could have a future here in Thailand.The Orlando is a 7-seat people mover, crossover, SUV, small 4-wheel drive with no aspirations for off-roading type car. It's actually very similar both in form and function to the Honda Crossroad.
Small Image

Honda don't sell the Crossroad in Thailand because it would compete somewhat with the CR-V. Honda also had a poor run of it with the 7-seat Stream, that eventually bowed out of the Thai market when the Wish clobbered it in what was already quite a small segment of the market.

Back to Chevrolet, and the Orlando, the situation is a little bit different. Chevrolet are enjoying a relatively successful run of it in Thailand.

The Chevrolet brand has a very good image in Thailand, where many Thais I've spoken to seem to believe that American cars are stronger than their Asian counterparts. Whether this reputation is founded or not is another issue, especially considering that the Aveo, Optra and Captiva all have Korean origins, and the Colorado is little more than a re-boxed and badged Isuzu D-Max.

But Chevrolet is doing okay in Thailand. Based on sales volume they are ahead of long-established rivals including Mazda, Mitsubishi and Nissan.

So for Chevrolet Thailand, there might be a bullish feeling that adding a new model to the line might be worth a try. Although the Orlando could possibly step on the toes of the Captiva somewhat, it also has the potential of outshining the Captiva altogether.

Should Chevrolet choose to replace the Optra with the Cruze next year, then the Orlando is even more possible since it is based on the same platform as the Cruze.

Additionally, it is possible that Chevrolet may wish to use Thailand as the production hub for the vehicle, and export to other Asian markets. However, they also have Korea as an option for this, as it has already been confirmed that the Cruze will be produced there.
Engines

Assuming that it is produced here, it is likely that the engine line up will be the same as the Cruze. Possibly up-rated 1.6 and 1.8 litre petrol units like the current Optra.

The engine that I would love to see in the Orlando is the 2.0 litre 150 hp unit from the Captiva, and this is one of the units slated for inclusion in the high end Orlando, but Thai punters could be some way from embracing the diesel in this type of vehicle.
Drive

Chevrolet has a new 6-speed automatic that it is likely to pair up with the new Cruze, but it has yet to be seen if that will make it to Thailand. This would be a really impressive feature in a car in this segment, and if the Cruze gets it, the Orlando will also.

Initially the Orlando will be front-wheel drive, with 4-wheel drive models to be introduced later on. In Thailand, the front-wheel drive variant would be sufficient, and it would allow Chevrolet to put some additional distance between the Captiva and Orlando.

Although diesel engines are more efficient and provide a number MPG better than petrol engines with similar power, they do not constitute a significant share of U.S. passenger vehicles.

Would you buy a diesel Cruze? What fuel would be delivered, and at what price sticker? (Be realistic: "60 mpg for $ 12,000" is not realistic.)

When it comes to the Pony Car Wars, rivals Chevy and Ford have always taken things seriously, with the Mustang Shelby GT500 currently wearing the heavyweight title belt with its 550 horsepower engine that rockets the car from zero to sixty in 3.7 seconds.

Rising to Ford’s challenge is the Camaro ZL1 that was unveiled earlier this year in Chicago with a preliminary 550 horsepower — equal to that of the GT500. However, being that the ZL1 is also expected to be the heavier car, it would seem that 550 horsepower may not be enough to outpace the lighter GT500. But according to a report from Camaro5, the ZL1 may produce much more than the initial 550 horsepower that was announced, which to us sounds like just what the doctor ordered. We will have to wait until the end of the year to find out for sure.

The Cruze Chevrolet 2011 is a compact sedan with performance, style, practicality and dependability in one taut and handsome package. It replaces the Chevy Cobalt in North America and the Daewoo-built Chevy Lacetti/Nubira in Europe. The new Cruze car has redefined value with a dynamic exterior and interior styling, plus a good list of standard features.

Form outside view, this new Chevys Cruze takes styling cues from the brand new Malibu, and guarantees to be a much sharper car than the current Cobalt. Chief designer Taewan Kim says that the new Cruze’s design is supposed to be “bold”, not evolutionary. We desired to take a giant step ahead, make strong design assertion for Chevrolet products across the world.

The new Cruze 2011 is a four-door sedan that comes in LS, LT, and LTZ trim levels. The LS has a 138-horsepower 1.8-liter 4-cylinder engine.

The Equinox is crisper and sportier than its predecessor, with nice proportions and a look that blends in well with the rest of the Chevy lineup. Inside, the cabin has lots of dramatic shapes and a central control panel that comes strikingly close to those in the Cadillac SRX—with vents flanking the radio and climate controls. It's an appearance that's also filtered down to the 2011 Chevrolet Cruze and other vehicles, and we like the new direction.

Under the hood you'll find a choice of either a 182-horsepower inline-4 or a 264-hp V6. Both of these engines deliver respectable acceleration, and the four-cylinder is notable for its above-average fuel economy (even though we've found it doesn't quite meet its lofty EPA estimates). Another Equinox selling point is its upscale good looks; the cabin is attractive and expensive-looking and features interior materials quality that's finally competitive with other choices in this segment.

One more thing that is lauded about the 2011 Chevrolet Equinox is the wide array of standard features. You can enjoy luxury amenities with a complementary one-year service with GM’s OnStar assistance. For the base model of Equinox, you can enjoy air conditioning, power windows and locks. It also has the keyless remote entry, bluetooth cellphone connectivity – which is very helpful i f you wish to talk on your cellphone without needing to bother about holding the cellphone. You can listen to the MP3 music using the USB iPod interface. Your kids may enjoy the dual screen rear seat DVD. Besides that it has rearview camera, navigation system. You may like to pay extra for the optional heated seats, and climate control.
