Larger wheels, plastic protection of fenders and bumpers , increased ground clearance… This recipe for producing a leisure version of a regular car , now and then supplemented with all-wheel drive, is not only celebrating success in Europe. The proof can be the Chevrolet Spin Activ , intended for the Brazilian market.
Specifically, in its case, the wheels measure 16 inches , the plastics lining the bumpers (including the silver-painted lower part) can be seen from miles away, and as evidence of off-road ambitions, there is an uncovered spare wheel on the fifth door . Of course, a few more elements are added to this, such as roof rails, unique seat upholstery or richer equipment, including keyless entry or a multimedia system , and the new model is born. It should be noted, however, that these accessories suit the Spin quite well and have turned an otherwise boring-looking MPV into quite a handsome one.
Under the hood, we can find the 18-horsepower Econo Flex gasoline engine in combination with a manual or automatic six-cylinder engine, but you won't find all-wheel drive in the menu. However, the Spin remained capable of carrying up to 5 passengers and 710 liters of luggage . However, the Brazilian market is not the only one where Spin Activ is offered. It is also known in Indonesia in a slightly different form.
