The wraps officially came off the Chevrolet Orlando at Naza Quest’s Jalan Ampang showroom today. The seven-seater MPV launches here with a price tag of RM118,888, excluding insurance.
A 1.8 litre Ecotec petrol engine with multi-point fuel injection feeds 141 hp at 6,200 rpm and 176 Nm and 3,800 rpm to the front wheels through a six-speed auto. Fuel economy is a claimed 7.9 litres per 100 km on the combined cycle.
Sitting on GM’s global Delta platform (which also underpins the Chevrolet Cruze), the Korean-built Orlando is offered only in LT trim, for now at least. As such, items such as ABS with EBD and Brake Assist, traction control, 17-inch alloys, electrically adjustable door mirrors, reverse sensor, cruise control and a steering wheel adjustable for rake and reach are standard fitment.
Entertainment and convenience come in the form of a stereo unit with USB, MP3, Bluetooth, auxiliary and iPod connectivity, with a storage compartment hidden behind the stereo fascia.
Safety equipment includes two airbags and ISOFIX child seat anchors for the second row. The body has been designed around a passenger safety cell philosophy, with high-strength steel employed in strategic areas and crumple zones to absorb impact. The doors also unlock automatically upon detection of impact.
Seating configuration is 2-3-2. The second row seats are split 60:40 and can tumble fold, while the third row is split 50:50. With both rows folded, load volume is just shy of 1,500 litres, and 856 litres up to the window line.
Six body colours are available: Switchblade Silver, Gun Smoke Grey, Satin Steel Grey, Carbon Flash Black, Deep Espresso Brown and Summit White. All except the white are metallic hues. A five-year or 200,000 km warranty and engine oil change at every 15,000 km interval is offered.
Parked outside at the launch was a better-kitted out car (see the last seven pictures in the gallery) with leather seats, a sportier wheel design and screens built into the front headrests – this isn’t available yet, but could this be the Orlando in LTZ trim?
We’ve sampled, albeit briefly, the Chevrolet Orlando, along with its smaller Sonic sibling that launched last week – click here for our driving impressions.

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments on the Chevrolet Orlando launching highlight its affordability as the cheapest 7-seater with stability control, which pleased many, especially those waiting for a budget-friendly MPV. Some appreciate its modern, crossover-like design and spacious interior, praising it as a good family car. Nonetheless, there are concerns about its underpowered 1.8 engine, with suggestions for the more desirable 2.0 diesel version. Several comments compare it unfavorably to more established models like the Toyota Innova, citing design, resale value, and reliability issues. Some viewers comment on pricing differences in other countries, and a few jokes and off-topic remarks are present. Overall, the sentiment is a mix of positive interest in its features and price, tempered by skepticism about performance and perception.
