Enjoy 2013-2015 Petrol LT 7 Seater Review

Overall:

Among the ever increasing international automobile manufacturers in India, Chevrolet truly has a special place in the Indian automobile consumer’s hearts. Though people really did not consider it to be a game changer in the beginning, it was the introduction of Chevrolet Spark that led to the companies reincarnation in the country. Ever since that success, the company did not look back and have given some of the most interesting vehicles in recent times. Cars such as Chevrolet Beat continue to enjoy the lineage their predecessor have left for them. With the market being flooded by the compact vehicle segment all of a sudden, the company probably assumed to experiment with this product line too. But instead of going compact, the company hit the MPV segment which started a few years ago, but still does not have solid customer base as it faces a tough competition from the SUV segments and the compact SUVs. But whatever be the issue, the MPVs still manages to seem the perfect solution for the urban commuting, particularly for the large families, which India is renowned for. The MPVs offer a sense of space, comfort and affordability which other segments do not necessarily meet always. The latest MPV in discussion is the Chevrolet Enjoy . The MPV is Chevrolet’s attempt to grasp all kinds of customers. Broadly Indian automobile customers come in two categories, people looking for fuel efficiency and people looking for performance. Chevrolet managed to cater the needs of both by launching Chevrolet Enjoy with two engine options, the 1.3-litre diesel engine and the 1.4-litre petrol engine. While the diesel engine certainly offers impressive mileage it does manage to give decent performance too. The petrol engine however comes with splendid performance and a mileage to keep the journey going comfortably. With these two engine options and a wide range of interior modifications and exterior specifications, Chevrolet Enjoy comes in eight variants. The variants are undoubtedly separated by interior and machinery issues but the striking exteriors are inherited by more or less all the variants. The vehicle also comes with an option of seven seater and eight seater. Since the last row of the interior seating can be folded, the vehicle manages to give quite a decent boot space. The Chevrolet Enjoy Petrol LT 7 Seater is a mid range variant in the entire fleet and it comes with a combination of affordability as the low end vehicle and also as a decent performer in interiors as its top end cousin. Since the vehicle is priced at Rs. 6.31 lakhs (ex-showroom), it is a decent bet to take considering the features it comes loaded with. The Chevrolet currently is enjoying a decent amount of success and hopefully, with the new Chevrolet Enjoy launched on May 9th, the vehicle continues to enjoy the same way.
