Chevrolet Orlando Concept

The intermingling of previously distinct automotive segments continues with the latest crossover concept car to come out of Chevrolet’s design studios. Going by the name of ‘Orlando,’ the concept combines elements of an SUV, family van and a wagon to create one of the most unique additions to the growing world of the crossover.

Based on the recently announced Cruze compact sedan, the Orlando show car features flared fenders instead of a flat side-body to give a stronger, SUV-esque appearance. The ‘family van’ and ‘wagon’ segments come in with the Orlando’s seven-seat capability, supposed car-like handling, and easy entry thanks to its car-based architecture.

Chevrolet is hoping to display its creativity in the segment with this crossover concept, as well as attempt to separate itself from a reputation among Europeans as a brand of large, unwieldy American vehicles.

The Orlando concept certainly fits this bill, seating seven occupants and featuring a generous 108.6in wheelbase and wide front and rear tracks to maximize interior space. Despite its size, fuel economy for the concept is also expected to be above average, due to it being powered by a compact 2.0L turbodiesel developing 150hp and [235 lb/ft] of torque.

To give some persepctive on size...the Camaro's wheelbase is 112.3 in.

Looks Good! And do I see some Camaro-derived styling cues in that Interior?

Name it something else and I'll buy it.

Hell, I'd rather have it be called Uplander than Orlando...

skipj3 · 09-09-2008, 09:09 PM

Orlando is a cool name

*The_Blur* · 09-09-2008, 11:18 PM

That is the hottest interior since the Camaro.

they are making it harder and harder to changed radios arent they?

Hold on, 4" less wheelbase than the Camaro but seats 7? Even with less dash to axle, there must be no space behind the 3rd row, or behind any seats for that matter.

Not bad at all. Like the interior quite a bit!
