What does it cost?
For The Chevrolet Orlando has space for seven and its rear seats are easy to fold flat. It’s cheaper than many rivals and Chevrolet’s 5-Year Promise helps keep running costs affordable.
Against It’s not as versatile as it could be and weak resale values mean it’s not that cheap to run long-term. The petrol engine is weak and noisy, and the ride is jiggly.
What Car? says
The Chevrolet Orlando is an affordable way into a seven-seater, but it’s not as practical or good to drive as the best MPVs.

Buyer's notes
Target Price team says:
Chevrolet Orlando buyers can choose from three engines – a 139bhp 1.8-litre petrol and 129- and 161bhp 2.0-litre diesels. The petrol has a five-speed manual transmission, but it could badly do with an extra gear to reduce engine noise at motorway speeds. The diesels do come with a six-speed manual ’box, while the higher-powered diesel is also available as an automatic.
There are three trims, and we’d recommend the mid-level LT. The cheaper LS model isn’t too badly equipped – air-conditioning, electric windows and remote central locking are all standard – but the LT spec adds desirable features such as parking sensors, alloy wheels and climate control.
Every Orlando comes with Chevrolet’s 5-year Promise, which gives you five years’ free servicing, warranty and roadside assistance, plus vehicle health checks and MoT insurance.
