Chevrolet Spin to get petrol and diesel engine options -EXCLUSIVE

We were the first to reveal that Chevrolet has plans to launch the Spin MPV and the Spin Activ SUV in India. However, we have some more information on the duo. The Chevrolet Spin and Spin Activ will be launched not just with a 1.3-litre diesel engine but even with a 1.5-litre petrol automatic as well. The Spin Activ will be a compact SUV that will be competing with the Renault Duster.

The Chevrolet Spin and the Spin Activ will be a seven-seater compact SUV that will be having a wheel mounted that is similar to the Fiat Avventura.

General Motors is already in the process of moving out of their Halol plant and making the Talegaon manufacturing facility as their hub not just for India but to export it as well. The Chevrolet Spin will be made in India and its base will be shifted to India from Indonesia. The 1.5-litre petrol engine on the Chevrolet Spin will be producing 109bhp and 142Nm of maximum torque. This will come mated to Chevrolet’s tiptronic transmisison. The diesel is a 1.3-litre that churns 75bhp of power and 175Nm of maximum torque.

The Activ version is the SUV package on the Spin. This version is for those who need the space of an MPV, but need an SUV-looking vehicle. Chevrolet will be getting the Spin and the Spin Activ, with an SUV package. The Spin is also launched in other markets with a 1.2-litre petrol engine, which might not make it into India. The Chevrolet Spin will be launched next year and the Activ will be coming with a petrol and diesel engine option. The pricing should be about INR 9-12 lakhs (on-road) approximately.
