New Set of Spy Images Of 2011 Chevrolet Captiva Emerges

August 7th, 2010

2011 Chevrolet Captiva

Chevrolet Captiva is about to get a refresh. The official launch will happen by this year end. Few weeks before we had brought you a set of spy images of 2011 Chevrolet Captiva. The most attractive and noticeable improvement in the new Chevrolet Captiva is the front grille design. The new Captiva  sports the  latest design front grille which we saw in many recent Chevrolet launches.

Chevrolet Aveo RS forms the base for 2011 Captiva  front grille, bumper and headlight cluster design. The improvements given 2011 Captiva a much needed muscular yet stylish look. Though the new griller is similar to existing design, there is special chromium treatment added to it to enhance the styling. The rear department looks exactly similar to current Captiva and not much changes to specify. Under the hood Chevrolet may plant an all new 2.2 ltr CRDI engine which will return better fuel economy with less pollution. Also this engine will bring more horses and torque. This new engine will be mated with a six speed manual transmission. 

Indian arrival..? We expect new Chevrolet Captiva here by early months of 2011. Some reports suggest that Chevrolet India will bring  new Captiva in our market by this year end. Anyway it’s matter of just few more months, so stay tuned for updates that coming in future. We now you too may be thinking that Chevrolet should act fast and bring this new beast to India very soon.

Chevy Adds Aveo CNG To Indian Portfolio

May 16th, 2010

Chevrolet Aveo CNG car Details

Chevrolet Aveo is facing extinction from sedan segment in our market. But  Chevrolet does not want that unfortunate thing  happen to this spacious and feature rich sedan. Yesterday  Chevrolet India launched the Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) version of the Aveo in India. The Aveo CNG is in fact  a bi-fuel version, one full size petrol tank and a small CNG cylinder.

“The launch of the Aveo CNG is a testament to the importance that GM India attaches to green technology and environmentally friendly mobility solutions. Its running cost is approximately 54 percent lower than a similar vehicle powered by petrol and 25 percent lower than a similar vehicle powered by diesel. Because of the lower operating economics and the growing number of CNG stations being built across India, this new offering is expected to appeal to both individual and fleet customers. Under normal driving conditions, the Aveo CNG has a range of 180 to 200 kilometres on a full tank of CNG and is BS IV compliant.” said Karl Slym, President and Managing Director, GM India.

Chevrolet Aveo CNG version will be coming with a completely factory fitted CNG kit and accessories. The CNG injection has been controlled by one of the latest technology  computer from Italy. Other  accessories like CNG injectors, selector switch, modified wiring and suspension are now fitted in the factory. That means now you need not worry about inferior quality CNG kits and poor workmanship. Chevrolet has strengthened the body of Aveo CNG version to take extra weight of the CNG cylinder and other related extras.

Other Major Features of Chevrolet Aveo CNG Version are,

1. The sequential injection kit offers precise fuel delivery control through electronic injectors, ensuring efficient combustion.
2. The engine offers stable performance in CNG mode.
3. The Aveo has a CNG-compatible engine. Hardened valve seats and anodized pistons are used in the proven 1.4-litre VGIS (Variable Geometry Intake System) petrol engine. This ensures no engine damage or reliability issues in CNG mode.
4. Minimum service is required owing to the Aveo CNG’s advanced electronic operation.
5. The suspension has been reinforced to support the additional mass of the CNG cylinder in the trunk.

For the past few months Aveo sales were falling due to stringent competition, now with the launch of CNG version Aveo can really pick some numbers in major cities where the CNG infrastructure is quiet strong. So will  that  be sufficient to sustain this sedan in long term? Chevrolet India only can answer this query…

Next Generation Chevrolet Aveo U-VA Spied

November 12th, 2009

Chevrolet  Aveo the hatchback doing moderately well in European market.But it’s Indian avatar Chevrolet Aveo U-VA  is doing terribly bad.Now General Motors is all set for changing the international edition of Aveo.The available spy suggest the New Aveo, (probably Chevrolet Viva) is nearing the mass production line.The commercial launch may happen by end of 2011 starting from U.S.

New Cherolet Aveo

The Chevrolet Viva is based on Gamma-II chassis platform.The body styles may include  four door sedan and five door hatchback.The engine variants and their detailed specifications are not available at this moment.Chevrolet will replace the  their B-Segment offering Aveo  in American and other European markets with Viva.

New Chevrolet Aveo-U-VA

There is no word about  replacement of Chevrolet U-VA in India, though we feel GM India should seriously consider replacing this hatch with an eligible candidates like Chevrolet Agile, which is a  new offering in Argentina and there it continues to make ripple in market or this Chevrolet Viva.Hope our readers will agree with our opinion.

New Aveo 

There is a another interesting view point, both Chevrolet Agile and Chevrolet Viva could be same.But we don’t take this as reliable one, as is there a point in keeping Viva camouflaged as Agile is already launched in Argentina.Anyway wait for few more weeks we may be able to solve this mystery.

Stay tuned for further updates!

Rendered:-Chevrolet Cruze Wagon

November 9th, 2009

Chevrolet Cruze Station Wagon

Chevrolet Cruze made it’s entry to Indian roads in this September.Since Cruze’s launch in India Chevrolet received very encouraging response from market, the main attraction is price tag.Immediately after the launch we had seen many blogs discussing that Chevrolet is testing Cruze Wagon in unknown location with support of a mysteries image.

Chevrolet Cruze Station Wagon Image

But later reports suggested that image was a photoshopped one.Let the discussion go on it’s own way.Here are the images of Chevrolet Cruze Wagon version.Though it is an artistic version but it is quiet possible one right?

We loved the way in which the designer blended the design of a sedan into practicality of a station wagon.We are sure atleast some of you will love to see the wagon version of Chevrolet Cruze on their roads.So let us see whether Chevrolet will make it possible or not..
