General Motors that stopped the production of its flagship MUV Tavera in India few months back, has now started to reproduce the vehicle after getting regulatory approvals.
General Motors India has sold 8901 vehicles in the month of February 2012. The February sales comprised of 1964 units of Chevrolet Tavera, 1328 units of Chevrolet Spark, 537 units of Chevrolet Cruze, 273 units of Chevrolet Optra, 90 units of Chevrolet Aveo and 25 units of Chevrolet Captiva. The February sales were driven by the encouraging response received by Chevrolet Beat Diesel, India’s most fuel efficient car. Chevrolet Beat has been one of the top performers for GM India this month registering sales of 4684 units. Commenting on the performance, Mr. P. Balendran, Vice President, General Motors India, said “The sales were not on the expected lines as the market continues to be sluggish.
General Motors has its own flock of cars for the 2012 Auto Expo and the big surprises for this Auto Expo will be the compact Sail hatchback and the WTCC Cruze race car. The usual revamped versions of the economic Chevrolet Tavera and premium SUV, Chevrolet Captiva will be all present, but another car we can look forward to is the Wuling MPV spotted couple of times with the Chevrolet underpinning. The Chevrolet Sail hatchback is something worth the wait until the launch in April next year. Until then, we can just brood over the car we get to see at the 2012 Auto Expo. Surprisingly compact matchbox type car jointly developed by GM China and SIAC will carry a Chevy Beat’s 1.2 L petrol engine to pump out 79 Bhp top power.
The entry-level MUV from General Motors is up for a face-lift. The spotted new Chevrolet Tavera near the GM India’s Talegaon plant keeps us abreast with the plethora of changes brought into the new version. The exterior facelift apart, the real makeover is with the 2.5 L diesel powertrain under the hood. A 2.0 L Sonalika Rhino engine will replace the 2.5 L diesel powertrain in the outgoing model. The new 2.0 L diesel engine meeting the latest emission norms is capable of producing 100 Bhp peak power and 240 Nm peak torque. Now, the new Chevrolet Tavera price is bound to go up like with any makeover. Though the timelines of the launch is not yet revealed, the new Chevrolet Tavera is most likely to be unveiled at the 2012 Auto Expo.
