Naza is keeping its promise to bring as many models from the Chevrolet stable to the Malaysian market by offering the Orlando Crossover/Multi Purpose Vehicle in the second half of this year.
Built on the Chevrolet Cruze platform, the Orlando takes ad­vantage of its passenger car roots and promises to be an innovative, spacious, versatile and exciting people carrier.
Naza Quest, the official distribu­tor of the Chevrolet brand in Ma­laysia said, the Orlando is a seven-seater based on the Chevrolet Cruze (sedan) platform with a crossover styling that appeals to a wider range of drivers.
The chunky cross­over styling, which includes a slightly raised ride height, will certainly help the Orlando to liter­ally stand out in a crowd of people carriers.
"Consumers' response to the intro­duction of the Chevrolet Cruze last year gave us tremendous confidence that the Malaysian market is ready to welcome the Chevrolet Orlando.
"With its versatility and unique crossover qualities, we have no doubt that this will be the new MPV of choice for discerning, family-orient­ed customers," said Datuk SM Faisal Nasimuddin, joint group executive chairman of NAZA Group of Compa­nies.
Chevrolet's departure from the typically 'rounded' design for people carriers and the assertive use of a bold and boxy theme gives the Orlando an unmistakable silhouette.
The sweeping roofline and tapered rear gives the Orlando visual strength and stability and complements the bold-chromed Chevrolet corporate grille to create a strong and distinc­tive face.
Globally, Chevrolet is offering three trim levels and three fuel efficient en­gine options; a 1.8 litre petrol engine with 141 horse power output and two diesel versions (both 2.0 litres but dif­fering in power generation - 131 hp or 163 hp).
 The Orlando is not only stylish but also safety-conscious and oc­cupant protection starts with a stiff body structure, airbags and self-unlocking doors that are activated upon impact.
 Versatile seating combinations en­able families to configure the Orlando according to load requirements. The second and third row of seats can fold independently or in tandem to create a completely flat load area.
Both the left and right outer seats in the second row have a tumble fold capability which improves passenger access to the third row.
Numerous small compartments within the cabin provide an abun­dance of handy hideaways for nick-nacks. The most distinctive storage feature is hidden behind the front fas­cia of the stereo. This is ideal for plac­ing items such as sunglasses or wallets and with a standard auxiliary jack and optional USB port for MP3 and iPod connectivity, the car is designed with convenience and practicality in mind.
Naza Quest has not given any price indication for the Orlando but we understand that it will likely go head to head against popular Japanese compact people carriers such as the Honda Stream so we can expect the pricing to be competitive for this seg­ment.
