Chevrolet Orlando (Chevrolet Orlando.) - Five-door seven family compactment, manufactured by General Motors, with a landmark for Asian and European markets. In our market, the choice of interesting family cars is not so great, so when this model only appeared in the car dealerships, the queues immediately lined up. The creators of Orlando guess not only with the needs of family motorists, but also with the functionality and design of the car. The attractiveness of the model also gives the low cost. Unfortunately, the new Chevrolet Orlando is not available on all CIS markets, but if you really like this car, it is not worth upset, since the secondary market shows a fairly large selection of used copies of this car.

A bit of history:

The first photos of the Chevrolet Orlando concept appeared on the network in the distance 2007, it was then it became clear that the company prepares a completely new family car to the market. In 2008, the world premiere of this model was held at the Paris Motor Show, however, mass production started only in 2010. For Chevrolet, this is the first minivan oriented European market. Chevrolet Orlando was created on the "Delta" platform, but with an increased wheelbase, it was also built on it. The construction of the machine was engaged in the Korean division of the concern "GM". Initially, the car was produced in Korea, but, most of the copies presented in the secondary CIS market were collected by the large-sized method at the Kaliningrad Avtotor Plant (Russia) and in Uzbekistan.

Externally, Orlando is not similar to classic minivans and more resembles a small crossover. It was done not by chance, the departure from the single-volume layout was called upon to position a novice as an alternative to the front-wheel drive crossovers. Dimensions cars: Long - 4470 mm; width - 1780 mm; height - 1650 mm; Wheel base - 2760 mm. The fact that the donor platform for Orlando is Chevrolet Cruz, has significantly reduced production costs and ensure good handling.

Problem places and ailments of Chevrolet Orlando with mileage

The owners of this model are rarely complaining about problems with paint and varnish and corrosion resistance of the body. The exception is only chrome elements that, after the first winter, are coated with corrosion and bubbles. Some body elements and electronic equipment can prevent many small, but annoying troubles. For example, the outdoor temperature sensor is very often falling off. Drain under the wiper brushes has insufficient patency, because of this, a lot of dirt accumulates on the plastic, which, with time, falls under the hood. There are claims and the performance of regular parking sensors - not always warn on the approach to the obstacle, as a result, a collision occurs.

Engines

Chevrolet Orlando is equipped with only two power units: gasoline - 1.8 (141 hp); Diesel - 2.0 (130, 163 hp). The main disadvantage of the gasoline motor is not technical problems, but its small power, which is not enough for such a car. Especially acute the power shortage is felt on the track during overtaking overall machines. Also, the features of the car include jumps of revolutions when driving the engine. Of the technical disadvantages of this power unit, it is possible to note a small resource of the oil pressure sensor. When it is malfunctioning on the instrument panel, the low pressure indicator lights up, also, there are cases of oil leakage from under the sensor.

Closer to 100,000 km on most copies, the thermostat fails, if you do not follow this, it is not difficult to overheat the engine. The problems with the fuel trunk went to Orlando from the senior one-platform Chevrolet Cruz, as a rule, the problem is manifested in small runs and is eliminated by the dealer under warranty (tubes and clamps change). Despite the small engine volume, it is difficult to call this car economical (consumption in the city is 12-14 liters per 100 km).

Diesel machines on the secondary market are very few, as a result, there are practically no statistics on their faults. The only thing that can be argued with confidence is that this type of engine is very sensitive to the quality of the fuel. If refueling on unverified gas stations, expensive repair will not make himself wait a long time (nozzles fail, the EGR valve, etc.). Also, it is worth noting that diesel cars are very long warmed, and not only in winter. Some owners have discovered a mysterious plastic bar under the car. After contacting the service it turned out that it was a boot, which is between the main radiator and the air conditioner radiator. On most copies, it is poorly fixed.

Transmission

Chevrolet Orlando can be equipped with one of two transmissions - five-speed mechanics or a six-speed machine. Both transmissions are quite reliable, however, many owners comes on a sufficiently rigid operation of the machine. When switching from the first to the second and second to the third transmission is strongly pushed, also pushes and jerks are possible after a complete stop of the car. In most cases, to eliminate the problem, it is enough to reflash the transmission control unit, however, there are often cases when you have to change the hydraulicock, and this is the pleasure of not cheap. The owners of cars with a manual transmission mark the problem with the clutch pedal, after pressing the pedal is not returned to its original position. To eliminate the problem, the spring replacement is required. On the mileage of 80-100 thousand km, due to the violation of the sapunion, there are oils through the glands of the left semi-axis. The adhesion at medium loads is 100-120 thousand km.

Design, Features and Disadvantages of Chevrolet Orlando Pendant

This model is equipped with a semi-dependent suspension: McPherson racks are installed in front, a semi-independent suspension with a combined transverse beam. Through the use of hydraulic supports, a high level of control over the behavior of the car and good isolation of passengers from vibrations even on roads with poor road surface quality. Despite this, many owners criticize the running for excessive rigidity. If we talk about the reliability of this design, then, in practice, the car suspension has proven itself very hardy.

If you do not take into account the racks and bushings of the stabilizer (there are an average of 30-40 thousand km), with medium loads, the suspension does not require capital investments up to 100,000 km. The first of the building is the ball supports and hub bearings, it happens on the run of 100-130 thousand km. Of the features of the suspension, it is worth noting the increased noise when driving around an uneven road. One of the weaknesses of chassis is the brake system, for example, the resource of the front pads is only 20-30 thousand km, drives - up to 80,000 km. Many owners managed to solve the problem, replacing the original brake pads to high-quality analogs.

Salon

The interior of the car is made of high-quality materials and very rarely documented its owners with crickets and other outsiders. From the lack of salon, it is possible to note the low wear resistance of glossy plastic inserts (scratches appear quickly). Also, many owners raise on strong fogging of glasses. As for the reliability of electrical equipment, there were no often revealed failures. In rare cases, the air conditioner refuses, it takes place on mileage up to 50,000 km (the problem is eliminated by the warranty dealer). Also, there are leaks of the stoves.

Outcome:

It is one of the most interesting options in the segment of compact family minivans, not only due to appearance and functionality, but also acceptable reliability.

If you are the owner of this car model, please describe the problems that you have to face during the operation of the car. Perhaps it is your feedback that will help readers of our site when choosing a car.

Respect, editors Car auto

Sample 2010 resigned: this month, the GM Korea division, where they made these five days. However, from the Russian market, the model was removed three years ago. In Korea, the direct heir from Orlando will not be, but the new car was prepared in China. What is surprising, after all, the former compactment has never been sold here. Although, knowing the love of local buyers to such a car format, in the General Motors concern, they probably took the right decision.

According to the concept and dimensions, the new Orlando practically repeats the previous model: in fact, this is a wagon of high capacity with a clearly selected engine compartment and swing doors. Moreover, in official pictures depicts a car in the configuration of the Redline, which the Chevrolet also implies a "sports" decor with red and black splashes.

Dimensions, compared with the Korean predecessor, have changed no more than 32 mm in all directions: length - 4684 mm, width - 1807 mm, height - 1628 mm. Wheel base - 2796 mm (plus 36 mm). By the way, almost the same dimensions of the Chinese compacttva, and the distance between the axes coincides with one to one, so the likelihood is that the new Orlando is converted from Biuik.

A choice of options with two or three rows of seats are offered. The seven-bed orlando medium row is installed on the sled and can move forward-back. The volume of the trunk is still given only for the seven-bed version: with a folded third round of the compartment accommodates 479 liters "under the shelf", and if you add the second row, the volume will grow up to 1520 liters against 1487 at the same model. The interior itself without delights: classic short devices, single-climate control, media system.

The new Chevrolet Orlando will be equipped with an exceptionally three-cylinder gasoline turbo engine 1.3 (156 hp), already known for other Chinese models of the General Motors concern: for the local market of this is quite enough. Gearboxes - six-speed "mechanics" or "Automatic" with the same number of gears.

Release New Orlando will be at the SAIC-GM joint venture, the entry to the market should take place until the end of the third quarter. But outside China, this model will hardly appear.

The new Chevrolet Orlando 2018 model year will only become the second generation of this car. For several years, his predecessor has been successfully struggling on our roads and pleases its capacity to people with large families. The past generation of the machine showed good driving quality, and was also quite comfortable and comfortable.

The new Body of Chevrolet Orlando 2018 received a completely different look. He has changed almost every detail. Yes, the former design is guessed, but now it has become much more stylish, even somewhat aggressive, not like many family minivans.

The front part, everything also decorates a rather large grille of the radiator, which part of the body is divided into two halves. It is on this part that the company's branded sign is located. More acute front lights received LED filling, and now are now located closer to the center of the bumper.

A small air intake at the bottom of the recycled, giving it a strictly rectangular shape, and it ends with several rounded elements, inside of which they placed a thin strip of fog lights.

Together with all this, the front appeared a pronounced relief. The body is so drowning, it takes out outward, taking various forms.

From the side of the wheel of the wheel, from the main part of the body of the wheel, from the semicircles turned into almost squares from semicircles. If earlier the doors themselves were slightly convex, now they are so straight that you can apply the level. The mirrors have grown somewhat, and also acquired by repeaters of rotary lights. The size of the glass has decreased, but the pseudo-resistant became wider. Discs resemble more wheels of the sports car, not an ordinary family car on everyday life.

Rear, the new model also has a drinking bumper, but with minor changes. The lights have become rectangular and do not get closer at the door of the luggage compartment. The bumper itself dropped a little, because of what the car became somewhat aggressive. If earlier exhaust nozzles hid under the bottom, now they are located right in the bumper.

In general, the car significantly added in appearance and turned from the usual inconspicuous machine into a stylish and presentable car.

Salon

Restyling Orlando 2018 did not pass the party and interior. The photo shows that and then the car added noticeably. Yes, he does not hit with rich materials, because he does not need it. In the decoration there is a fabric and plastic here, sometimes you can see edging from chromium and leather inserts.

The central console is strongly stretched upwards, and on the top of the top there is a small multimedia display to control various functionality of the model, which is surrounded by a plurality of functions and wide deflectors. Even below, the gearbox handle was placed in order to release as much space for the armrest, which easily rises and turns another glove box.

The steering wheel looks simple. You can notice several buttons that are responsible for the phone and the audio system. But behind him placed a fairly modern and stylish dashboard. On the right and left are the speedometer and the tachometer of large sizes, which are beautifully highlighted in blue. In the center you can see the on-board computer, and even slightly higher - additional devices displaying the amount of fuel and other important indicators.

Much is done here for more comfortable passengers. The front line has a multitude of settings and adjustments, as well as heated even in the basic version. Finishing materials are pleasant, not slippery, which is very important in the absence of lateral support. The whole car is designed for seven passengers.

The luggage compartment is small - only 90 liters, but you can always fold two rear rows, and any of the chairs falls out regardless of the rest. Thus, you can get up to one and a half thousand liters of free space.

Specifications

To be equipped with a new Chevrolet Orlando will be one of two possible engines having the following characteristics: 1.8 liters, with a capacity of 141 horsepower, or 2 liters, which develops already 163 horsepower. Both motor can be both with a manual transmission for six modes, and with automatic to five. Fuel consumption will be 5.7 and 6 liters, respectively.

Immediately it is worth noting that such motors are not completely enough in order to easily disperse this car. After all, the weight of it is not so small. Therefore, some problems may arise on the track. In the city, a little disappointing a very tough suspension with a small move, which reacts perfectly to all flaws of our roads. Not everyone will have to taste and weak sound insulation, because of which the roar of the motor trying to pull this giant will be heard throughout the cabin.

Configuration and prices

Chevrolet will provide three configurations for its new product. Basic - Ls.will receive an anti-lock system, an emergency braking system, a few more systems for improving braking and controls, all kinds of security systems in the form of belts and airbags, several parking sensors, as well as an electric power steering. The price of such a version is 1.26 million rubles.

Next Modification - LT. It already additionally includes stabilization and sustainability systems, several other security systems and fog lights. For this version you will need to pay 1.3 million rubles.

Last - Top Package LtzThis includes improved cruise control, rain and light sensors, automatic disclosure and closure of side mirrors, as well as a complete set of driving and security simplification systems. It costs this pleasure of 1.41 million rubles.

Release date in Russia

The start of sales in Russia is planning to start in the first months of the New Year. Then it will be possible and a test drive model in any of the official salons will be carried out.

Competitors

The main competitor has two - Opel Zafira and Toyota Verso. If the design of the first does not reach the level of Orlando, then it will even surpate it. But on the equipment there is practically no difference. Is that competitors have to pay a little more to get about the same set of functions. For example, a motor at Toyota is slightly weaker, but it is able to quickly drag a car, spending even less fuel both in the city and on the track. Opel, the situation with the dynamics is practically no different from Chevrolet. So, you will have to choose, focusing on personal preferences go feedback from friends or friends.

In 2008, the Americans presented the first concept car of the car Chevrolet Orlando. In our market, the car appeared two years later. The "highlight" of this minivan can be called the fact that in whatever configuration you did not bother, the car is seven. Created this model of the car on the basis of Chevrolet Cruz. But, to this day the question remains: where are Chevrolet Orlando collect for the domestic market? Before answering, I would like to mention that the path of the American concern was thorny and difficult. The concern was worried about both ups and falls. The creator of this automotive corporation is a fan of motor racing William Durant.

Some time after the creation, this man was able to organize the world's largest autocontracene General Motors. Today, this company has enterprises to assemble their cars in almost every developed major world. The Chevrolet Orlando model is collected immediately in four countries, among which Russia is included. In the Russian Federation, Minivan produces an enterprise "Avtotor", located in Kaliningrad. There is only a large-sized assembly, the car itself is done in Korea. In addition, this car model is collected in:

• Vietnam
• Venezuela
• South Korea.

In the Russian market, buyers offer this family-run car with a gasoline and diesel power unit to choose from. Motor volumes are 1.8 and 2.0 liters. The car is only an option, and the motors work for a couple with a 5-speed mechanical KP and a 6-speed "robot" with the possibility of manual switching.

Distinctive features of minivan

Every year, the General Motors concern opens its businesses in different countries, therefore, it is difficult to say where to produce Chevrolet Orlando. Compared to its predecessor, this car has become 75 millimeters longer. The car is quite spacious inside, and it is very simple to find out on simple body forms, a high roof and a vertical back door. Above the appearance of the "American" Korean designer - Schong Kim. In the luggage compartment there is a third series of chairs when they are folded, the floor turns out perfectly smooth.

The owner can fold the second row, then the area inside will increase at times. Engineers have come up with a convenient transformation scheme of the cabin. The exterior is made in the usual manner for the manufacturer. Thanks to the transformation of the cabin, it is possible to transport various goods and a considerable number of passengers. The car has sixteen species of transformation. It is not many cars of this class can boast. Initially, the manufacturer made this machine model specifically for the European market. After the release of the car was quite popular and the Americans decided to please fans and buyers of other countries of the world, including Russians.

Specifications

If you compare this minivan with other classic models, then the dimensions can be called modest (4652mm × 1836 mm × 1633 mm). Machine wheel base - 2760 millimeters. Everyone knows that from the ones where Chevrolet Orlando is released, the quality of the vehicle will depend on. Russian owners of this model cannot rejoice in the space inside the car. Especially pleased the volume of the luggage compartment. After all, with a folded second and third row of seats, it is 1584 liters. And the total length of the cargo space increases to 2.6 meters.

With folded, only third row, the volume of the trunk is equal - 466 liters. To date, Russian buyers have access to Compact Minivan Chevrolet Orlando with two variants of power plants. This can be a car with a 1.8-liter gasoline engine, outstanding 141 horsepower power or a 2.0-liter diesel engine having 163 power horses. Maybe in the near future, a turbodiesel power plant at 1.4 liters (140 hp) will be available to our compatriots. The Box Machine Orlando inherited from the Chevrolet Cruz model. If you are interested in economical machines in terms of fuel consumption, then Chevrolet Orlando with an automatic CP and a diesel unit will be suitable.

Configuration and prices

In the domestic market, our Kaliningrad company offers three versions of this car model:

The Chevrolet ORLANDO test was held in sunny Valencia, which in Spain. But before that, a large group of Russian journalists had to spend many hours in Paris. And we did not enjoy the beauties of the Champs Elysees. We slept in an abandoned train at the Northern Station, warm with our black brothers with a cold night near special thermal tumb, lay a few hours on the floor at Charles de Gaulle airport. In general, in Paris, instead of the program for 40 minutes between the docks of two flights, we spent almost two days - because of the snowfall all airports in the city were closed, trains went with interruptions, to catch a taxi was unreal. In addition, all hotels in Paris were clogged to unhappy tourists. Catastrophe! And this is because of some snow there ...

But enough to cause a feeling of pity. It is best to remember ... Recent Message of Dmitry Anatolyevich Medvedev to the Federal Assembly. Surprised by such a turn? But remember that in this message, the President expressed the idea of \u200b\u200bthe need to stimulate Russian families to the birth of a third child. They say, for the second they give money, and for the third will begin to allocate land plots. But did anyone think about how the car will transport their children a law-abiding Russian, who follows all the advice of the country's leadership?

But people who plan to give birth to a third child simply need to have a large car, preferably with three rows of chairs. Recently, several new models have been shown at once, which are suitable for large families: Mazda5,

Machines are not bad, no dispute. But you won't call them cheap. Therefore, the show of one of the most affordable seven-world cars in the Russian market caused great interest.

Russian prices for Orlando have not yet been voiced. They will largely depend on the site of the assembly - the management of Chevrolet is seriously thinking about Orlando's organization in Russia (Americans have three options at once: the plant in St. Petersburg, where Opel Astra and Chevrolet Cruze, JV "GM-AvtoVAZ" and the assembly Enterprise "Avtotor" in Kaliningrad). But now it is known that the price of the car will be accurate between Cruze sedan and Captiva SUV. That is, there should be about 700,000 rubles. For a model in the basic, but rather decent configuration. For the seventeent car is not so much. What will have to donate? What do we get for this money? We will try to figure out.

Orlando is based on a platform from Cruze, but the one-applifter is still more sedan. The increase in length of about 12 cm, but at the same time an externally car looks much larger than Cruze. And in general, in the design of Orlando there is something unusual for dispatches. "Many of European MPVs are cars with a very functional single-visual body. But Orlando is a bit different. It has a double body, in which there are features of the usual MPV and SUV cars, which allows ORLANDO to go beyond the existing classification of bodyworks, "the vice president of the design of GM Dat Tevan Kim is sure. And he is absolutely right - they published Chevrolet Orlando really look like a crossover, although the road clearance is the same here as Cruze. And this move can work, especially if the car is "wound" in 18-inch wheels, which go as an option (in the base of 16- or 17-inch). Although I personally would refuse from 18-inch wheels. They look, of course, it is impressive, but the smooth of the course does not add. In this case, the car that claims to the role of family, turns out to be very tough and accurately informs about the passage of joints and small holes even on flat Spanish tracks.

With 16-inch wheels Orlando softer, so I would choose them. With them, smoothness becomes slightly better (although there are complaints about comfort), and manageability suffers too much. True, we will not make a verdict in advance about the comfort. After all, probably for our market characteristics of the chassis will be revised.

The average fuel consumption of a 1.8-liter gasoline unit in a mixed cycle is 7.3 liters per 100 km. The maximum speed ORLANDO 1.8 is 185 km / h, overclocking time is 0-100 km / h occupies 11.6 s. Diesel spends 6.0 liters each 100 km. The maximum speed of the 163-strong car is 195 km / h, overclocking time 0-100 km / h occupies 10 s

But the gasoline 1.8-liter engine will remain the same: 141 hp, 176 n m. Only instead of Euro-5 we will have Euro-4, but the nature of the power unit will not change. We know this - this unit is put on Cruze collected in St. Petersburg. Medium motor. It seems to be enough for a confident ride, but at the same time there is a feeling of some kind of obviousness. As if the engine has a "inviolable" reserve from a dozen horsepower. As a result, for relatively dynamic driving, the motor has to be promoting up to 4000 "revolutions" and more, but even after that the "explosion" does not occur. Although the sound in the cabin at the same time, as if we were "felt on all the money."

2.0-liter diesel power of 163 hp And the moment in 360 N is good (there is another option from 130 hp and 315 nm). Compared with a 1.8-liter gasoline engine, it looks just better. And maybe two. There is already a power supply here, the engine allows you to sharply accelerate if necessary, besides, diesel in the middle revolution zone works ... the quiet gasoline motor. And it is more economical and can be equipped with a good six-speed automatic transmission. The latter works softly and without special delays (it is not clear why, but gasoline Orlando has only "mechanics", but for sure in Russia the automatic transmission will appear - in the end, Cruze 1.8 is equipped with a "automatic"). And now the most important thing. Representatives of Chevrolet stated that the 2.0-liter diesel will be sold in Russia! This is very good news - I would choose it, especially since the segment of medium-sized seven-piece disposals of diesel engines is not so much offered.

But we somehow forgot about the cabin. But there is something very interesting. No, we are not talking about the third row of chairs, which can add up to one movement of the hand (you can also fold and the second one, and also without effort - then it turns out a large and flat place where you can sleep if you want to sleep). And not even that due to the adjustment of the angle of inclination of the back of the second row on the third, not the smallest men sit relatively tolerably.

The main "chip" of the cabin is the "head" of the audio system - it can ... to fold. As a result, we have an excellent container for small things. We simply do not think of the best place to store in the stack of sleep, especially if the wife does not know that the magnetic has a "double bottom".

As for all the rest, ORLANDO did not disappoint here. It used to me it seemed that the interior of this car would accurately copy Cruze. But in Chevrolet decided not to save on the work of designers. Of course, everything is done in about the same style, but at the same time ORLANDO's insides turned out to be more "serious." Failed to detect problems with ergonomics. Is that the chairs on the "basic" car have insufficient side support, although the optional seats with leather finish are not bad. But otherwise everything is as expected. Koreans (and Orlando were developed in Korea) learned how to create not the most memorable, but very convenient salons.

So, what conclusion can be done after the test of the new Chevrolet Orlando? This is a good car that has a very interesting appearance and a worthy complete set (already in the database there will be almost all that drivers require from "decent" foreign cars, including "condo", six pillows, "music" and so on). Of course, she has shortcomings. Some competitors have better smoothness and noise insulation, and they have more interesting engines. However, let's not forget about the price. Orlando should be noticeably cheaper than his rivals (we recall, focus on 700,000 rubles. For a car with a 141-strong engine). And already alone this factor guarantees him success in Russia. After all, buyers of cars who have three or more children are simply forced to count money. Therefore, we look at competitors.

Competitors
Ford Grand C-Max

The new generation of Ford Grand C-Max is the most fresh novelty in the segment of seven-dimensional medium-sized single units (only Grand C-Max will be sold in Russia - the five-seater C-Max decided not to supply). The simplest Grand C-MAX will cost in Russia from 799,000 rubles. For this money will be offered cars with "mechanics" and a gasoline engine of 1.6 liters (125 hp). The machine with a 150-strong unit with a volume of 1.6 liters is already 850 100 rubles. The basic equipment of the model is very decent: "Condes", "Music", an electric car, six pillows, a control system and so on.

It's nice that Ford will sell with us and diesel Grand C-MAX, and such a machine will be equipped with only the "machine" (gasoline options are exclusively "mechanics"). Ford Grand C-Max with a 2.0-liter diesel engine (140 hp) and Powershift automatic transmission will cost 934 100 rubles.

Mazda5 is another novelty of this year. This car is sold in Russia only with a 2.0-liter gasoline engine (144 hp) and only in a pair with a "automatic". The configuration is two: Touring for 930,000 rubles. or Sport for 1,009,000 rubles. Moreover, Mazda5 can be equipped with such an option as the electrical mechanism for opening side doors.

Toyota Verso.
