Chevrolet 2012 New Tavera

Chevrolet 2012 New Tavera

 General Motors will be launching a facelift of the Tavera soon. The updated Tavera will get some aesthetic changes as well as the addition of a new diesel engine, which will comply with BSIV emission norms. The Tavera was pulled out of BSIV cities as its engine did not comply with the new emission norms. The 2012 Chevrolet Tavera will be powered by a 2.0-liter common rail diesel motor that is sourced from Sonalika. The said motor produces 100 BHP of power and also does duty on the Rhino. We spotted the upgraded Tavera

along with the Rhino on test in Manali, where the companies are testing the cold weather durability of the engine. The slight camouflage on the hood of the Tavera suggests the probability of a air scoop in the MPV, which will debut by the end of the year with a slight price hike over the current model.

 Sources have told Indian Autos Blog that General Motors is planning a new Tavera for India this year. Last year we reported that the new Tavera will utilize Sonalika’ CRDI engine on the BS4 Tavera. This could be launched by the end of 2011.

Above is a speculative impression of the new Tavera by Shoeb R Kalania.
GM will fit the Tavera with a 2-liter Sonalika turbocharged CRDI engine producing 100bhp.
Changes on the refreshed Tavera include new alloys, body graphics, new grille, clear lens lamps and minor changes to the interior. The facelifted model might debut the Sonalika CRDI engine as well as host the existing 2.5 L Direct Injection Turbo Diesel for rural markets. It is not clear what the company’ plan is with dual engines, but we’ll soon find out. Stay tuned to IAB.
