New Chevrolet Matiz launched
The new version of the Chevrolet Matiz has just premiered here. Some 630,000 of the old generation model were sold in Europe, which creates a strong base for the new model. The modern design, clever space utilisation, favourable price, and solid engineering make the new version of the Matiz an even more attractive proposition. The Supermini Chevrolet is just 3.50 metres long and thus predestined for urban and short-distance traffic. It is now available with a choice of two petrol engines (0.8 and 1.0 litres) that comply with the Euro 4 standard. Fuel consumption is measurably lower than that of its predecessor. In total, around 80 per cent of all the components are completely new. Characteristic of the more adult look of the new model is the dynamic wedge form and the short overhangs. The steeply rising shoulder lines and converging feature lines in the engine hood that extend through to the front side windows add tension and dynamism to the side view. The design also picks up some of the emotional elements that had given its predecessors their unmistakable smiling face. Alongside the large bumpers and large air intake, the front of the new 2005 Matiz is also dominated by the striking round headlamps. The front-end design conforms to the new European regulations on pedestrian safety. The front headlamp design is matched at the rear by its signature round taillights. The most striking feature in the interior of the new Matiz is the completely redesigned cockpit. Thanks to the intelligent packaging and wheelbase of 2,345mm, the five-seater offers a comparatively large amount of space and a feeling of roominess. The boot volume is 170 litres according to the VDA standard. The back seat's backrest can be divided in the ratio 60:40, enabling longer objects to be transported without problem. If the complete bench is flipped up, the capacity rises to an impressive 845 litres. The interior also offers a number of shelves, trays, bottle and can-holders. With its compact body dimensions (length x width x height - including the roof rack which is standard: 3,495 x 1,495 x 1,500/1,518mm) and its small turning circle of 9.20m, the Chevrolet mini is not only extremely manoeuvrable, it also fits into any parking space. Apart from boasting such lithe vital dimensions, it has power-assisted steering fitted as standard to make parking even easier. Chevrolet also says the Matiz offers its passengers good protection in the event of an accident. There is also a full safety package to complement the passive safety features of the new Matiz. These include driver and passenger airbags, three-point belts and head restraints for all five seats, electrically operated belt tensioners with an energyabsorbing steering column and knee padding. The new Matiz also chalks up points when it comes to active safety. Buyers have a choice of two well-proven engines for the smallest member of the Chevrolet range: A 796 cm three-cylinder gasoline version with 38kW/52bhp and a four-cylinder unit with 1.0-litre capacity and 49kW/66bhp. Compared with its predecessor, the MVEG average for the 0.8litre model, for example, fuel economy has improved by 15 per cent. The reduction for the fourcylinder version is good too, with consumption improved by 12.5 per cent. Both power units are delivered as standard with a five-speed manual transmission. Equipped with the smaller engine, the front-wheel drive car will accelerate from 0 to 62mph (100 km/h) in 18.2 sec and has a maximum speed of 145 km/h. The 1.0-litre fourcylinder Matiz naturally is faster and has a top speed of 156 km/h and a sprint time of 14.1 sec. All the Matiz models come with a generous range of standard features, including ABS, powerassisted steering, dual airbags, side impact door beams, electrically operated windows at the front, central locking, ISOFIX child seat anchors and CD Player. The 1.0-litre Sports also comes with fog lamps, rear spoiler, and fashion roof rails as standard. New Matiz Prices: 800cc SE 10,995 1-litre Sports 11,595
