The car we're talking about today is the Chevrolet Volando. The Chevrolet Volando is a well-regarded joint venture car! The car sold only 2,980 units in 2021, accounting for only 1.1% of the Chevrolet family and 0.03% of the domestic car market, ranking 176th overall. In the first quarter of 2022, the cumulative sales volume was only 713 units, accounting for only 1.19% of the Chevrolet family and 0.03% of the domestic car market, ranking 169th overall. Neglected joint venture good car! Nearly 140,000 fell to 80,000, and the big seven were only 120,000, and only more than 2,000 units were sold every month
As far as the overall design is concerned, it is still quite beautiful. You see its front face adopts the design of the upper and lower intake net, in which the lower intake net is like a ferocious beast with a big mouth, ready to provoke all competitors. The headlights on both sides are of a split design and are connected by a blackened air intake net. It is worth mentioning that the 20 models of Volando are fully equipped with LED near and far headlights, which have a good sense of appearance, and use red lines under the headlights to decorate the sense of movement.
Inseparable from the space is the interior configuration of the vehicle, and Volando's interior configuration performance is decent, once you go in, it is very familiar, after all, the interior is familiar with the Chevrolet style, the center console uses the iconic flying wing design, of course, the pure American design also makes Volando's interior look old and plastic. The 8-inch suspended central control screen and the 3.5-inch LCD dashboard also bring a rare sense of technology to the car.
Although this car is positioned as a compact model, But Volando has 4684/1807/1628mm, wheelbase 2796mm of dimensional parameters, in terms of the official "one car multi-functional" concept, Volando This car is a cross-border model that combines the characteristics of three major models: sedan, MPV and SUV. Even the extended 2020 Nissan Xuanyi (4641/1815/1450mm, wheelbase 2712mm) has a significant gap compared to it.
I think the design of the side is actually more like an SUV, the blackened wheels, equipped with a blackened roof luggage rack and a small suspension roof design, the sense of appearance is still there, more dynamic. My favorite is, of course, its blackened mirror design, but the cost is high after damage.
In terms of power, Volando is equipped with a 1.3T three-cylinder turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 163 horsepower and a maximum torque of 230 Nm, in addition to a 48V light mix system, the transmission system matches a 6-speed manual transmission, and the chassis adopts an all-McPherson independent + rear multi-link independent suspension combination. In fact, The 1.3T engine of Volando is also the main model of SAIC-GM at present, but the consumer's recognition of the three-cylinder engine is low, so its sales are very embarrassing.
