Chevrolet was vying for the MPV segment in India since 2012 Delhi Auto Expo, and now finally the American carmaker had rolled out Enjoy MPV on our local shores ranging in between Rs. 5.49 lakh and Rs. 7.99 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi).
Enjoy MPV is made available in options of seven as well as eight seating arrangement, simplified more subtlety in characteristics as per various trim levels, hosting a 1.3-litre diesel and 1.4-litre petrol under the hoods, and plants five-speed manual gearbox to drive the forces from rear wheels.
Talking technicalities, petrol engine yields 103bhp and 13.25kgm of torque, unlikely to that of 76bhp and 19.17kgm of torque from oil burner; capable enough to write down winner’s trophy on its name against the most selling Maruti Ertiga, and also Nissan Evalia on a very close snatch in the relative segment.
Enjoy is designed by Chinese partner of Chevrolet ‘SAIC’ and will be manufactured at the GM’s Halol plant in Gujarat, hitting 285 sales points in our nation exclusively at the following prices:
Petrol:
- LS (8-seater) – Rs 5.49 lakh
- LS (7-seater) – Rs 5.64 lakh
- LT (7-seater) – Rs 6.31 lakh
- LTZ (7-seater) – Rs 6.99 lakh
Diesel:
- LS (8-seater) – Rs 6.69 lakh
- LS (7-seater) – Rs 6.75 lakh
- LT (7-seater) – Rs 7.42 lakh
- LTZ (7-seater) – Rs 7.99 lakh
One can also derive dual airbags and ABS if purchased the top end variants.
