When you draw up your list of requirements for your next family vehicle, you may find room for seven, fuel efficiency and safety are prerequisites. The all-new 2012 Orlando not only takes those functional requirements to a new level – it also wraps up all that good stuff into one stylish design, setting a new standard for the category. The design isn’t only attractive, it’s ingenious, creating a compact form that at the same time offers a very generous interior capacity. Very smart.
It's hard to overstate the importance of fuel-efficiency today, particularly with a vehicle that can seat seven. Chevrolet's engineers went to work to create a combination of performance and fuel efficiency that rewrites the rules for the class. The award-winning 2.4L ECOTEC® dual overhead cam 4-cylinder engine produces a substantial 174 hp. The fuel efficiency is enhanced by technologies like Direct Injection and Variable Valve Timing (VVT), in addition to the choice of 6-speed manual or automatic transmissions. The results speak for themselves: a 6.7 L/100 km highway fuel consumption rating – the best overall highway fuel efficiency of any 7-seater.1
You have the people. You have the stuff. Orlando comfortably accommodates both. With standard seating for up to seven, you can bring both family and friends. With split-folding second and third-row seats, you can easily reconfigure the interior to prioritize passenger or cargo-carrying capacity. And the wide-opening rear doors allow for easy access to the second and third rows. There are also a series of storage compartments that add to the versatility, including one hidden behind the radio on the instrument panel perfect for valuables. Another example of Orlando's ingenuity.
Orlando is as stylish as it is functional. The tone is set by the sporty dual-cockpit design and enhanced by the ambient blue instrument panel lighting. A closer look reveals high-quality finishes and tight-fitting trim panels. Entertainment is provided by the standard CD player with MP3 playback and auxiliary audio input jack. To help you stay in touch while on the road, 2LT and LTZ models feature Bluetooth® hands-free phone connectivity plus the security of OnStar®‡ including six months of the Directions and Connections Plan with Turn-By-Turn Navigation. You can even keep track of the little ones in the rear seats with the handy child-view mirror located above the interior rear-view mirror.
Orlando is equipped with a series of standard driver control features that help you avoid a collision – such as ABS, traction control and StabiliTrak®. Electronic stability control systems like StabiliTrak® have proven to reduce the risk of a fatal single-vehicle crash by a remarkable 63 percent.3 If a collision can't be avoided, Orlando protects the passenger compartment with features like six standard airbags and reinforced safety cage construction. They helped Orlando achieve a 5-Star Euro NCAP Safety rating.4 You also get the peace of mind of OnStar®2 Automatic Crash Response that helps direct emergency service providers to your exact GPS location. Drive safely – in Orlando.
