Re: Chevrolet Spin MPV Spotted Testing in India

Car looks better than other MPVs and it is spacious. The big let down is puny engine for such big car! What on earth GM guys are smoking? Weed!
its not depends on engine size bro we should see how engine performce in car GM's 1.3L SDE diesel engine capable to produce 93BHP max and and 209NM Torque so its acceptable power for this car Renaul LODGY K9K diesel produces 84 bhp and 200NM torque in base variants we can judge on engine size even Maruti Ertiga powered by GM-FIAT 1.3L SDE Multijet engine

Re: Chevrolet Spin MPV Spotted Testing in India

@furious driver i couldn't stop laughing after seeing your comment. i think they haven't been smoking weed it we who have made them smoke weed. a company which manufactures car with big block engines are required to cut down on the engine size just to make up to the KITNA DETI HAIN mindset of our's. nevertheless i do agree that the outlook of thier cars looks like age old designs not refreshing however i liked the spin. hope they come up with a good line up.

Blame our government for setting such mindless, insane rules, and tax which makes consumers to get the sub par products one way or other. I liked Ertiga but was put off by 1.3L engine. I wish Xylo makes it looks like Ertiga plus the same engine will do wonders for Xylo.

Spin looks good, but engine is a joke. If Xylo can accommodate a big engine and price it sensibly, why the same can't be done by GM?

Chevrolet Spin MPV caught on test in India – Spied

Based on import/export data, the Spin seen here was imported from Indonesia and is powered by a 1.3-liter diesel engine (Fiat-sourced MultiJet engine) that produces 75 PS at 4,000 rpm and 190 Nm from 1,750 – 2,500 rpm. General Motors has announced that the Spin will launch locally next year. Though unconfirmed, GM is able to fast-track the launch by relocating the Spin’s tooling and equipment from the Indonesian plant to Halol.

Re: Chevrolet Spin MPV Spotted Testing in India

This is one geniune product in terms of look and build design, which will fetch GM comeback in Indian turf. But definitely not again the same boring 1.3L multijet. GM needs to power it up with more punch to attract already lost customers!
Spin along with upcoming trailblazer suv duo will be GM re-entry to India

dont expect too much from GM dude Chevy Spin powered by 1.3L SDtech engine that powers most popular cars in our county but GM will retune to produce required power safely expect more then 93bhp and 205NM torque using VGT

Re: Chevrolet Spin MPV Spotted Testing in India

The 1.3 Multijet, although very reliable, hugely suffers from turbo lag and powerlessness. I've collectively done over 1 lakh kilometers with a Swift and Ertiga. As much as the figures look promising on paper, the real world scenario is totally different. In the Swift, low end torque is the only problem. But in the Ertiga, it's not just the low end torque, but top end too. After about 110 km/h, this engine produces a not-so-nice boom noise and although it revs to a higher speed, it puts in quite an effort doing so. I too bought the Ertiga just looking at the specs of 88bhp and 200nm torque. I didn't even take a test drive. After living with Ertiga for 3 years, the engine was my biggest disappointment. On the highway or the hills, the lag and high end power delivery really put me off. The mid range at about 1800-2200 RPM is really good and then power tapers off, even though the engine can rev all the way to 4000 RPM. Recently bought the Lodgy with the 110 PS K9K and after using this engine, the flaws of the 1.3 MJD becomes all the more apparent. Even the K9K has turbo lag in the low end, but the effortless recovery from the lag is something to be experienced. Because of the 6 speed box, high end is awesome. Moreover, my K9K delivers a better fuel efficiency than the 1.3 MJD because it revs less for similar speeds. Sorry folks, the Spin won't be any different with the 1.3 MJD. This engine is good for the Swift and other similar hatchbacks; but to use it on a people mover - that's overkill and these companies are royally milking a customer.

Re: Chevrolet Spin MPV Spotted Testing in India

Chevrolet Spin and Spin Activ launch early next year.

Chevrolet will be getting the Spin and Spin Activ to India early next year. The American automaker will call the MUV as Spin or Essentia, while the SUV will be called as Spin Activ or Ultiva. As per the earlier plan, the idea was to name them as the latter names, but now it seems that the company could rename them with Spin.
The Spin MUV will be a seven-seater and will be competing with the Honda Mobilio and the Renault Lodgy. This will be priced at about INR 7-11.5 lakhs and will be above the existing Enjoy. The Spin MUV will get features like touchscreen infotainment system, steering mounted audio controls, reverse parking camera, satellite navigation, dual airbags and ABS. The Chevrolet Spin will be powered by a 1.3-litre diesel engine that will produce about 89bhp of power and 205Nm of peak torque. Being a seven-seater will cater to those who need a more premium vehicle over the Enjoy.

The Spin SUV will be the SUV and this will be a five-seater. Chevrolet is working towards making it under 4 metres. This will get the same features and the same engine too. At the moment, it is sold in the South-East Asian market with a length of 4.2 metres approximately. There are no plans to introduce a petrol at the moment.

Re: Chevrolet Spin MPV Spotted Testing in India

The rear Looks pretty odd not flowing with the entire design. The front also looks like Sail seems to me like a age old body design when we have the fluidic designs from korea i think GM could have done better.

The exterior of the Chevrolet Spin features the familiar dual front grille flanked by large headlamps, and a body-colored bumper with round fog lamps.

Inside, the 2+3+2 MPV has a simple interior with features like a music system compatible with USB, AUX-in, Bluetooth telephony, and steering-mounted buttons for the music system. The seats are only upholstered in fabric, and the cabin is finished in a dual tone beige and brown color combination.

Chevrolet has started testing the upcoming Spin MPV in India, to rival Maruti Suzuki's Ertiga and Renault's Lodgy.

The Spin – unlike the Enjoy which is based on an older-generation Wuling CN platform – is underpinned by the GM Gamma II platform that is also used on the Chevrolet Beat for India and on various other models sold in other markets.

In international markets, the Spin MPV is available with a 1.2-litre petrol, a 1.5-litre petrol and a 1.3-litre MultiJet diesel engine. However, the Spin for India is expected to get the Fiat-sourced 1.3-litre MultiJet diesel engine.

the rear hatch door seems to be out of place on this spin MPV. Does not give a homogenous appeal. Seem to be doing some kind of cost cutting and reusing the Trailblazers door?

This MPV has been coming to India for a long time and I think its too late. The design is very old and the heat in the Mpv segment is down. They could have brought the Adra concept based SUV instead. Chevrolet is one sleeping brand in India and they don't know what to bring and when. Sad.
