Chevrolet had earlier revealed its plans to launch the Spin MPV in the Indian market in 2017. However, Chevrolet has now confirmed that it will not be introducing the Spin MPV here and shall focus more on the growing compact sedan, hatchbacks and SUV segment. The company instead chose to introduce the Beat Activ hatchback and the Essentia compact sedan which were shown as concepts during the 2016 Auto Expo event.In view of declining demand for MPVs in India, Chevrolet has decided against launching the Spin MPV in the country. Until now, only the Ertiga MPV from Maruti Suzuki and the Toyota Innova have been successful in holding their ground. In the past, Chevrolet had introduced the Enjoy MPV which never really took off. Taking cues, the company has decided against introducing the Spin MPV in India. In recent times, models like Evalia, Mobilio and the Lodgy from Nissan, Honda and Renault respectively failed to make a mark in the MPV segment.Revealing plans for next two years, Chevrolet stated that it intends on introducing five new models which includes the new Trailblazer, new Beat, Essentia, new Cruze and Beat Activ.Speaking about it, Kaher Kazem, GM India President and Managing Director said, “There was an overwhelming response from our Indian stakeholders to the Beat Activ when we revealed it at the Auto Expo in Delhi. As a soft-roader, the vehicle is ready for any adventure or challenge, while its interior ensures the driver remains comfortable and connected.”
