The Tracker and the Orlando share the same engine, which is a 1.3T turbocharged engine. Although both vehicles are equipped with engines of the same displacement, the tuning of these engines in terms of power output differs. The engine in the Orlando produces a maximum power of 120 kW and a maximum torque of 230 Nm, while the engine in the Tracker delivers a slightly higher maximum power of 121 kW and a maximum torque of 240 Nm. In terms of dimensions, the Orlando measures 4684 mm in length, 1807 mm in width, and 1628 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2796 mm. The Tracker, on the other hand, measures 4411 mm in length, 1808 mm in width, and 1633 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2640 mm.

From my years of experience with cars, both the Tracker and the Orlando use General Motors' 1.3-liter three-cylinder turbocharged engine, with essentially the same model. The output is around 163 horsepower and 230 Nm of torque. GM's Ecotec system was designed with an emphasis on efficiency and fuel economy. In the SUV Tracker, the tuning leans more toward sportiness, with quicker starts, while the MPV Orlando is tuned for smoothness and comfort, making it suitable for family loads. Sharing an engine has many benefits, such as common parts making repairs more convenient and cost-effective. However, the three-cylinder engine can occasionally vibrate at high speeds, though it's not an issue for daily driving. I've always believed that understanding these details can help car enthusiasts make wiser choices when selecting a vehicle.

I've test-driven both cars multiple times, and indeed, both are equipped with the same 1.3T engine, delivering very similar power responses. The Tracker, as an SUV, feels punchy with noticeable acceleration push; the Orlando, being a seven-seater, is slightly heavier but maintains stable mid-range acceleration. In terms of fuel consumption, both average around 7-8 liters per 100 km, making them economical for city driving. The engine noise can be a bit loud at high RPMs, but it becomes tolerable once you get used to it. GM's shared strategy saves a lot of hassle—no need to spend double the effort learning car repairs. Overall, the user experience is smooth, making them suitable for young people's daily commutes.

I've been driving the Orlando for over a year, and my friend also bought a Tracker. We've talked about how both cars share the same 1.3T three-cylinder turbo engine. Maintenance is quite convenient as they use the same engine oil and air filters. The repair shop mentioned that parts sharing makes servicing cheaper and faster. The engine runs smoothly, though it's a bit noisier when starting in winter. Regular oil changes are recommended to maintain performance. It's very practical and economical in daily use.
