Enjoy fun summer road trips on the new Chevy Spin

MANILA, Philippines - With the heat of the sun beginning to bear down and the cold amihan winds slowly dissipating, signs point to another long hot summer coming our way.

While we trade our jackets and sweaters for board shorts and bikinis, the season also means more opportunities to travel and get some well-deserved R & R. Before getting excited about catching scenic views, going to exotic locations, and immersing in far-flung locales, keep in mind that the journey is always as important as the destination.

Providing all-around driving pleasure and unparalleled class on the road, the Chevrolet Spin makes barkada bonding and family fun under the summer sun even more rewarding.

Fun with Form and Function

The 7-seater All-around Utility Vehicle (AUV) Spin combines all the elements needed to make the perfect summer road trip buddy. It offers style, space, safety, riding comfort and overall convenience in one sweet ride.

Breaking the mold of traditional compact vans, the Spin is built with a sporty sleek design. With imposing lines and muscular stance, the Spin exudes a modern yet distinct presence. Its dual-port front grille mounted with the signature bowtie badge completes that classy Chevy look.

Underneath its hood is a 1.3-liter CRDi turbo-diesel engine which produces 75 hp at 4,000rpm and 190Nm of torque at 1,750rpm. Available in LS and LTZ trims, the Spin is considered to be a first in the AUV segment with fuel consumption that goes for as much as 23km/L on highway drives.

Aside from its diesel engine variants, the Spin also comes in a 1.5-liter Dual VVTi gasoline engine equipped with a 6-speed automatic transmission with manual mode. Both variants provide impressive power when needed and unparalleled fuel efficiency especially on long trips. This makes uphill drives to Tagaytay or Antipolo easy, while saving enough cash to spend on more food, activities and those all-important pasalubong.

All about comfort and class

Another important aspect to consider, especially on long drives and extended vacations, is ample space. The Spin has a flexible 7-seat capacity cabin with more than 23 configurable seating positions. It is versatile enough to carry longboards, skimboards, or any type of camping equipment needed to enjoy scenic surf spots like Baler or La Union. The Spin boasts of a 162-liter cargo capacity which increases to 710 liters when the rear seats are folded and 1,668 liters when both rear and middle rows are collapsed.

Each seat is comfortably positioned theatre-style which offers all passengers a good view of the road all the while keeping each passenger cool with individual ventilation system up to the third row. Personal storage also wouldn’t be a hassle because of the 32 storage spaces that can hold everything from cups, water bottles, documents, and other loose knick knacks.

Of course, any good road trip wouldn’t be complete without quality music tracks playing in the background. The Spin lets you breeze through long drives to Baguio or rolling rides to Batangas together with your playlist using its Bluetooth audio streaming that easily syncs any device with the car’s sound system. The hands-free feature also offers safety and convenience by letting passengers receive mobile phones calls through Bluetooth connectivity.

The all-around utility vehicle Chevrolet Spin is available in all 21 Chevrolet dealerships nationwide. The Spin’s price starts at P838,888 and it is covered with a 5-year warranty and 3-year free 24/7 roadside assistance.
