The Chevrolet Spin MPV will be Chevry's newest offering in the MPV category alongside their existing producrt, the Enjoy. Expect the Spin to be priced quite well and to be well equipped with both petrol and diesel engines. The Spin will be priced between Rs 6.5-9 lakh in India.
As far as the styling is concerned, the Spin MPV will share some of its design cues from the smaller Chevrolet Beat. In fact, it will even share the same platform as its hatchback sibling. It gets a larger honeycomb grille up front with the bow-tie Chevrolet logo sitting right in the centre, sweptback headlights on either side of the grille and the round fog lamps well integrated in the front bumper. In profile, much like the Beat, the Spin too will have large wheel arches and roof rails. At the back, the Spin gets a large tail-gate and diamond-shaped tail lights.
On the inside too, the Spin MPV is pretty similar to the Beat hatchback. It sports a dual-tone grey dashboard but unlike the Beat, this one gets a larger instrument cluster. The centre console gets dark grey surrounds and the air-con controls under it. Spin has a wheelbase of 2,620 millimeters, providing space for seven passengers in the three-row layout. It has a luggage carrying capacity of up to 1,668 litres with the rear seats folded down.
Internationally the Chevrolet Spin sports a 1.5-litre petrol mill but in India it is expected to come with the 1.4-litre petrol unit that is also seen in the Enjoy. In this state of tune, the Spin will make 104PS and 131Nm. The Spin will also come with the Fiat sourced 1.3-litre diesel mill in the 90PS guise. Both these engines will come mated to a 5-speed transmission. While on paper the engine is the same as the Enjoy, we can expect Chevrolet might just play with the gear ratios to ensure a linear power delivery.
Expect the Chevrolet Spin to be aimed more at the private user as compared to Chevrolet's current offering, the Enjoy which will in turn be aimed more at the commercial user instead. We expect the Chevrolet Spin to be priced from Rs 6.5 lakh to Rs 9 lakh (ex-showroom) and to go up against the likes of the Honda Mobilio and the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga.
