Chevrolet Orlando

Production Years: 2011 - 20152 Documented Faults

The Chevrolet Orlando is a ruggedly styled, seven-seat MPV that offered a robust alternative to softer-looking rivals like the Vauxhall Zafira and Renault Grand Scenic. In the UK, its chunky, crossover-esque design appealed to families who wanted MPV practicality without the traditional "minivan" aesthetic. It offers a versatile interior with seats that fold flat into the floor, making it highly practical for hauling both people and cargo. While the interior materials are hard-wearing rather than luxurious, its underlying mechanicals are relatively straightforward and proven. It is an excellent choice for larger families on a budget who need durable transport.
