Chevrolet Tavera

• The Tavera has smart, conservative looks, a blend between an SUV (the pretty rear and two-tone paint), an MUV (the boxy shape) and an MPV (the short, sloping bonnet). Sitting on 15-inch alloys, the Tavera’s smooth, rounded styling is a well-balanced design. Exterior detailing is minimal but the Tav draws from its Isuzu DNA. From the front, the Tavera's best angle, it looks much like the handsome Isuzu Trooper. The oblong headlamps, grille and bumper are attractive. Under the skin, it follows the traditional MUV body-on-ladder-frame construction with a tube-type chassis, and the tried-and-trusted suspension layout of a torsion bar in front and leaf springs at the rear. Space and practicality is where the Tavera shines: it is very roomy, with lots of legroom and width.

The Tavera moves ahead with its combination of space, pleasant looks, driveability and a well-sorted chassis. It can’t make the cut as a true or a real lifestyle car, but as practical family transport.Rs. 7,20,000

Chevrolet CAPTIVA

There are two 2.2-litre turbodiesel engines in the Chevrolet Captiva range. The entry-level 161bhp version is only available with basic LS trim, front-wheel drive and, crucially, five seats.

If you want seven seats, you’ll have to upgrade to both the more powerful 181bhp engine and to LT trim – that makes seven-seat Captivas more expensive than they should be. Still, you get plenty of luxury kit for your cash, and the third row of seats gets a decent amount of space
