Chevrolet Enjoy

It is evident that people in India like their MPV's but just because the car can seat six or seven, it is not enough to make it a runaway success. While cars like Toyota Innova and Maruti Suzuki Ertiga are  ruling the roost, the others have not really caught on as well.Which makes it clear that just space is not enough and people are looking for complete package when it comes to MPV's.So how does the Enjoy fair amongst its fairly stiff competition ? The first time you set your eyes on Enjoy, the big MPV excudes quite a pleasant aura.The mono-box design is devoid of any fancy creases. The front has a pretty European feel to it with nice swoopy tear-drop headlights linked together by a twin slatted chrome grille with the big towie taking center place.

The Smartech 1.3 litre unit in comparison to the petrol puts out 77.5 PS@4000rpm but more importantly a maximum torque of 188Nm at a lowly 1750rpm. The Enjoy offers decent looks, very good space and seating and a satisfactory amount of kit as well with top-end variants boasting driver-passenger airbags, ABS along with EBD.
