2012 Chevrolet Spin

[glenn manikis]

In-house? Yan ba sabi sa iyo bossing? Inaangkin na ba ng Chevy or napagbilan/nakisingit lang sila sa production?

According to these:
FPT (Fiat Powertrain Technologies) ang nagdesign
http://www.claesrevisie.be/cd/Indust...ptoverview.pdf

JV between Fiat Group Automobiles, Fiat Powertrain Technologies and TATA Motors ang manufacturer
http://www.fiatspa.com/en-US/media_c...agreements.pdf

Gawa sa Ranjangaon in Maharashtra (India) ang 1.3L diesel engine (run by Tata Motors?).
Tata Motors - Press Releases| Automotive Industry News

Medyo luma at matagal tagal na rin in-production yan kaya may tibay na maasahan (wag lang nag cost cutting sa purchase order specs ang GM). In fact it was awarded small diesel engine of the year in 2005.

chevy diesel engine is made in india?

when it comes to power generators... india is known for making poor quality diesel engines....

Nagpapaniwala naman kayo agad kay arsen na kilalang anti Chevy. In house kaya ng Chevy ang 1.3L diesel. Saw it already, it sports both a GM badge and a VM Motori badge like the Trailblazer and Colorado. VM Motori is 50% owned by GM and 50% owned by Fiat.

if it comes from chongqing plant in china, 2nd biggest engine manufacturer in china... known manufacturers yan ng OEM engines for gensets and for marine engines.... if the engine comes from there... sigurado heavy duty yan.... kaso nga lang chongqing only manufacture large engines... usually used for marine and industrial purposes.... diesel engines like V8,V12 AND V16 ENGINES and above....

bali lumalabas ang manufacturer ng engine ng chevy diesel engine is tata?

Clarified this with our friends in TCCCI-Chevrolet Phils. They are confirming whether the diesel engine is from VM Motori but it's 100% not from Tata Motors according to them.

EDIT:
Just took a call from TCCCI. Engine is Fiat designed, manufacturing is managed by GM Powertrain Torino. Engine is being assembled in Brazil using local Brazilian parts with the exception of the engine block and the common rail. Engine block came from Italy, Common rail is Bosch and came from Germany.

Tata also uses this engine is some of their cars but its already assembled by Fiat na.

We've been eyeing this chevy spin also since last week and another option is the Avanza...Just like you Anne, mdjo torn kame which one to choose. As they say, toyota/japanese cars are cheaper to maintain unlike chevy... but for me, iba hatak / dating ng chevy spin compared to avanza...i think it will boil down to one's preference... but of course, feedback / reviews from experts are really helpful... di kc mura ang sasakyan kaya talaga dpat pag-isipan

Hi there! Tama ung sinabi mo na dapat pagisipan talaga.
Our family went for the Spin. We just bought the A/T Gas version, color black sapphire last month. So far it was good. And yeah there's a manual transmission so u could choose whether to change it to manual mode or not. Hehe we tried using it when we went out of town. More or less 18km/L ung nagamit. Pero kapag city driving, it only got 8-11km/L The aircon was also great. Kahit hindi nka On ung rear A/C.. malamig na talaga.

Thanks for the update Anne... we just made our reservation sa Chev Pampanga, wala pa silang stocks duon pero sabi by January madami na daw darating... my wife prefers the Red color but we have yet to see the red in person... puro sa youtube lang,hehehe!

may I ask din po pala paano ung manual mode dun sa A/T na variant? what does it mean pag sinabing may option to switch to manual mode? what's the advantage pag nag manual mode? thanks po

[suplado_007]

Just punt the gear to M mode. And theres a botton of +/-. Sa handle ng kambyo.

Just got mine last mid of nov. after 4 months of waiting. The very berry red.

[jonzjitsu]

guys kamusta ang ride comfort nya compared to innova(had 4 of these) real world FC... hope they launch a diesel AT will be getting at least 2 next year.

Review up here:

Chevrolet Spin LTZ

Also got 18+ km/l on the highway. Didn't get very good economy in traffic, but traffic is getting bad around here this close to Christmas.

Hi suplado, thanks for your reply...If i may ask also, what is the purpose/advantage of shifting to manual mode? will it be faster for long-drives, etc.

we'll be getting the very berry red too

Got our switchblade silver last Friday, Dec 6. Drove it Bicol 2 days after na ma release yung unit. Kayang kaya niya akyatin ang Atimonan zigzag na naka automatic lang. Yung manual shift ginamit ko sya for engine breaking pababa ng zigzag. Yung load nung sasakyan is 1 driver and 1 passenger then loaded yung likod ng mga baggage.

[Walter]

Any news regarding the supply of 1.5 LTZ Spin? Can anyone suggest dealer and SA contact number? Is Chevrolet Makati good?

[rjdojo]

As of now we reserved for 1 unit at chevy laguna. Walang stock sa alabang, laguna and lipa. Lahat sila sinabi by january magrerelease daw po ng 100 units ng gas. Dumami ung stocks diesel variant nila dahil in demand ito last year kaya un ang mas pinrioritize nila. Ngayon naman wala na talaga gas
Hehe. Konting tiis lang.
Is it just me na naawkward sa itsura ng likod ng spin? haha

That makes the two of us. Kung directly tignan sa likod parang ok naman sa paningin ko pero pang nasa side angle na ng rear view, parang alanganin talaga sa akin. :D

[adrianrei]

Since last year yung available na diesel variant nila is ung LS .. yung Top of the line LTZ diesel variant hindi pa din available hanggang ngayon ..

[oryx1001]

ala pa ba bagong info regarding sa spin?alin ba ang maganda diesel ba o un gas?

In house ng Chevrolet. Made my VM Motori Italia. JV nila ng Fiat

So di ba hindi in-house? Heheh

Payo ko lang wag basta magpapaniwala lalo na sa mga sales people. Do some elementary studies din pag may time. Let say geography.

Look at the world map if what sales people says make sense because its against the art of SCM (Supply Chain Management).

Spin is assembled in Indonesia.
Engine assembled in Brazil?
Engine block from Italy? and sent to Brazil for final assembly? Before sending to Indonesia?

Yes its maybe true that engine block is from Italy dahil land travel lang pwede na marating ang Poland where 1.3 engines for the European market are being assembled and mostly labelled as ECOTEC.

Also why GM will assemble SDE (Small Diesel Engine) in Brazil if there is no market for small diesel vehicles. Dahil bawal.
Pagkakaalam ko, wala ngang Spin na 1.3 diesel variance sa Brazil. Di ba? Pakitanong nga ulet si TCCI. Heheh

Besides, what is wrong if gawa sa India na di hamak na mas malapit sa Indonesia at mura pa labor cost? Meron naman yan quality assurance ni Fiat dahil nga JV ang facility.

[Calistro]

Any owner feedback on the diesel variant of the Spin?

Also, any news when the automatic variant is coming out? Looking for a people hauler aside from the innova.

[timrev]
