Chevrolet Tavera SS-D1 Neo(8-seater)

The Tavera is one of the oldest MPVs around and it looks it. The recent refresh job notwithstanding, the Tavera’s design looks somewhat stark. The long rectangular headlights straddle a small grille on which the Chevy bow-tie sits. The windscreen is more steeply rakes as compared to the Scorpio and the roof gives it a sleeker look. The rear tailgate opens sideways and the spare tyre is located under the floor.

What you also notice are its relatively smaller dimensions, which compromise the vehicle’s interior space but thanks to the big windows the cabin feels airy. Unlike the C-section of the Qualis, the Tavera's body on ladder-frame chasis is made with a more robust tubular construction.The compact dimensions and good visibility make this car easy to place in traffic. The Tavera is sprung by basic torsion bars in the front and leaf springs at the rear.
