Chevrolet is a joint venture car brand, and its models include: Equinox, Cavalier, Cruze, Trax, Orlando, etc. Taking the 2021 Equinox Frontier Edition as an example, it is a mid-size SUV with body dimensions of: length 4646mm, width 1843mm, height 1684mm, and a wheelbase of 2725mm. The 2021 Equinox Frontier Edition is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 124kW at 5600rpm, and a maximum torque of 250Nm between 1700 to 4400rpm.
Chevrolet is indeed a joint venture car brand in China. Having driven for nearly twenty years, I know this very well. Originally an American brand under General Motors, in China, it's managed by the SAIC-GM joint venture. GM and SAIC collaborated to build factories for production, like the one in Shandong manufacturing the Cruze, aiming to tailor the cars more closely to local needs. The benefits of the joint venture are multifaceted: prices have dropped significantly, maintenance is convenient, and parts are readily available, unlike the hassle with purely imported cars. I currently drive a Chevrolet Sail, and I feel its design has been adjusted for domestic road conditions, making it economical and practical. In short, in China, it's definitely a representative of joint ventures. This model has facilitated technology sharing and market development, offering great value for us ordinary people.
