Chevrolet Orlando Minivan Concept: 28 High-Res Pictures

The wraps came off Chevrolet’s new Orlando concept at the Paris Motor Show. Based on the new Cruze sedan, the Orlando is a compact-sized, seven-seat multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) and according to Chevrolet, it will spawn a similar production model in the very near future. The Orlando’s boxy exterior styling is eye-catching blending elements from an SUV, a minivan and a station wagon. However, don’t expect to see the flashy blue-LED lighting making it into production. -Continued

Inside, the five-door Orlando features theater-style seating in three rows that can accommodate up to seven occupants. Chevrolet supports that, thanks to the 2,760 mm wheelbase which is 75 mm longer than that of the new Cruze sedan along with the wider front and rear tracks, the Orlando is a true seven-seater, with second and third row legroom of 950 mm and 753 mm, respectively.

The rear seats can be folded flat to create a large a large cargo area while a range of occupant and load-carrying configurations is provided by 60/40 second-row and 50/50 third-row split folding seating. Other interior features include an overhead storage compartment that extends along the center of the roof, providing additional stowage space for rear passengers.

The Orlando concept is powered by Chevrolet's latest-generation, 2.0-liter turbo diesel, developing 150 HP and 320 Nm of torque. The production version will of course be offered with a wide variety of gasoline and diesel engines (depending on the market).
