After its big debut at the 2010 Paris Motor Show, the Orlando is a seven-seater MPV based on the same front-wheel-drive Delta platform as the Cruze sedan went on sale across the European market early this year.
The Orlando could arrive in Malaysia powered by a either a 1.8-liter petrol that develops 141 hp or the 2.0-liter turbodiesel engine that has an output of 130 hp or 163 hp. While Naza Quest has not revealed the engine coming in the next half of the year, the 1.8-liter looks set to make it to showrooms as it is already available on a lot of Chevrolets in the country.
All models available in Europe come as standard with Electronic Stability Control (ESC), air conditioning, electric windows and mirrors, six airbags and three 12V power sockets. Highlights of the mid-priced LT trim level include rear parking sensors, climate control and an upgraded stereo while the range topping LTZ includes 17-inch alloys, automatic headlights and windscreen wipers and power-folding door mirrors. Seeing as the car will arrive in the Asian market as an import, we expect most if not all these features to be available.
The Orlando is a family car that combines a seven seat configuration with generous boot space. The two back rows of seats can be folded independently or together to make a completely flat, cavernous load area.
