facelift 2018 Overview:
Chevrolet Spin (facelift 2018). With 161 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. With a weight of 1792 kg, it falls in the mid‑range. Front‑wheel drive delivers efficiency and easy handling. A multi-purpose vehicle designed to transport passengers with ample interior space. With seating for 7, it’s perfect for larger families.
Performance Verdict
The automatic transmission further dulls the 1.8i engine's modest power, resulting in less responsive acceleration and a more relaxed driving experience. Suitable for unhurried city driving.
Fuel Economy
Slightly less fuel-efficient than the manual version, particularly in stop-and-go traffic. Expect higher consumption figures, especially with a full load.
