FactGM had the Orlando slated for American showrooms, unveiled right at the Detroit auto show — then quietly reversed the US launch plan in May 2010, leaving it to sell everywhere but the market it had been shown off in.
The Chevrolet Orlando is a three-row compact MPV built by General Motors under the Chevrolet brand from 2010 to 2023; the first generation (J309) was developed and built mainly by GM Korea at Gunsan (production began in October 2010, sold in Korea from February 2011 as an "Active Life Vehicle") and assembled in Vietnam, Russia, Venezuela and Uzbekistan, its main markets South Korea, Europe, Canada, Latin America and Asia. It is based on the GM Delta II platform shared with the first-generation Cruze and the third-generation Opel Zafira, with rugged, crossover-like styling with plastic wheel arches despite being marketed as an MPV. The concept was unveiled at the 2008 Paris Motor Show; GM reversed its intention to sell the Orlando in the United States in May 2010, Canada got it in mid-2011 for the 2012 model year until 2014, and Europe from 2011 until Chevrolet's 2014 withdrawal (Russia until 2015). Korea's diesel was updated for Euro 6 in 2015 to a 1.6-litre Opel CDTi, and worldwide production ended in 2018 with the closure of the Gunsan plant. Euro NCAP rated it 95% for adult and 79% for child occupants in 2011. The engines: a 1.4 turbo petrol (138 hp, 148 lb·ft, 6-speed manual), a 1.8 petrol (139 hp at 6,200 rpm, 130 lb·ft at 3,800 rpm), a direct-injection 2.4 petrol (LAF and LEA codes, both listed at 174 hp at 6,700 rpm and 171 lb·ft at 4,900 rpm), a 2.0 LPG (138 hp at 6,000 rpm, 136 lb·ft at 4,600 rpm), and the 2.0 VCDi turbodiesel in 129 hp (232 lb·ft at 2,000 rpm) and 161 hp (266 lb·ft at 1,750–2,750 rpm) forms, plus the 1.6 CDTi diesel at 134 hp; the page names only Canadian cars as having the 2.4 (without years), European cars the 1.8 petrol and 2.0 diesel, and Korean cars the 2.0 LPG and 2.0 (163 PS) diesel until the 2015 switch to the 1.6. The layout is listed as front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive without saying which engines had which, so no drivetrain is entered. Wheelbase 108.7 in, length 183.1 in, width 72.3 in, height 64.3 in.

Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
This Presage minivan shares its underlying platform with the Teana sedan and the North American Murano crossover — one architecture doing three very different jobs.
Subaru's family-hauling Exiga got an unlikely STi treatment in 2009 — front spoiler, sport muffler, tighter suspension and a leather Momo wheel — but only 300 were ever built.
YRV stands for Young Recreational Vehicle, a mini MPV built to out-handle its own segment rivals.
The Terraza was Buick's first-ever minivan for the North American market - a badge-engineered cousin of the Chevrolet Uplander, Pontiac Montana SV6, and Saturn Relay.
The restyled 1994 Lumina Minivan quietly made American automotive history: it was the first minivan sold in the US with a power sliding door you could open by remote.
The first-generation Lumina APV minivan was nicknamed the "Dustbuster" by the press for its sharply sloped windshield, which pushed the dashboard far forward of the driver.
Its steeply sloped windshield gave the Lumina APV one of the deepest dashboards ever fitted to a mass-produced car.
The first Presage wasn't really its own car underneath — most of its parts came straight from the Nissan R'nessa, with more shared with its platform twin, the Bassara.
