HALF A HALF
In the twilight of the underground parking, I carefully examined the silhouette of Orlando. From one perspective, it’s like a capacious family van, and you come from another - it is, an all-terrain vehicle. There are bloated arches, like a real "rogue"! And silver inserts on the bumpers, imitating protection, from the same opera. But the paths will have to be chosen evenly - the distance from the ground to a beautiful lining is just two fists. After all, the platform at Orlando is the same as that of the Cruze sedan, only stretched along the base by 75 mm.
Understanding the inner world of Orlando. Somewhere I saw similar contours of the dashboard … On the Opel Astra! Even the steering wheel is from it, only with a cross in the center instead of a lightning. But the interior of the Chevrolet is made simpler - in accordance with the status of the brand in the concern.
It’s spacious at the wheel - the heading will fly overhead, it will not catch the wing. Yes, and it’s impossible to hurt a person sitting next to him, even if he has three heroic proportions. Actually, in terms of ergonomics, I have nothing to blame Orlando for: the landing is comfortable, everything is at hand, visibility is quite normal. The space in the second row also corresponds to the size of the car, but there are no various little things-tricks - folding tables, drawers in the underground.
The interior is pretty and unbanal. Pleasant and solid materials (there is even wood trim), original parts in forms, neat assembly

Lively motor! Indeed, the 2-liter 163-horsepower diesel engine is the more powerful of the two engines offered for Orlando. And he proves it in every way. Almost imperceptibly flies over a turboyama, picking up from a little more than a thousand revolutions, and does not turn sour up to the red zone. Although riding a pretensioner, like most modern diesel engines, does not like. A couple of times I was deaf when I did not have time to switch in time from second gear to first. But they offer an excellent cure for this ailment - a six-speed automatic.
The diesel engine outperforms the 1.8 liter alternative gasoline engine unconditionally. Sometimes it seems that the difference in power they have is much more than 20 "horses". Some lazy “horses” in the harness of a gasoline engine: you have to constantly adjust the car by shifting gears and twist the rpm until it rings. Moreover, fuel consumption in this mode will scare even a rich person. And the loud voice of the engine, making its way through the meager noise insulation, also tires. And why are only five-speed manual boxes installed on this version? A sixth gear would save not only fuel, but also ears.
In this landscape and perspective, the Orlando looks more like a crossover. This feature will certainly be appreciated by Russian buyers. By the way, in Germany, the price of a model starts from 18, 990 euros

How slowly kilometers creep on narrow, winding paths after high-speed autobahns! But then you get answers to all questions about the behavior of the car. I have already traveled to Orlando before - in his homeland, in South Korea. Suspension settings for that car differed dramatically. In the Asian version, the Chevrolet swallowed bumps well, but turned into the turns reluctantly, plunging into deep banks. The European specification car recounts every single crack on the asphalt, but it behaves without discounts on high growth - no worse than a conventional passenger car. But for Russian roads, I would still choose Korean settings.
By the way, in Europe, where the car is already being sold, Orlando has found its niche - it is cheaper than most compact cars in similar trim levels and with equivalent engines, and in addition, as a bonus, it offers the appearance of a crossover. Let's see if people peck at this unusual combination.
