Tires on Chevrolet Spin Activ (Шевроле)

The Chevrolet Spin Activ compact van appeared in 2014 as an "off-road" modification of the Spin model, which debuted in the production range of the American brand in 2013. In the lineup, it occupies an intermediate position between classic MPVs and crossovers, differing in increased ground clearance, plastic body kit, and extended equipment. In its concept, this is a versatile family transport for metropolis residents with a wide range of applications at a low cost of ownership. For the same reason, the car turned out to be popular not only with private individuals but also with small commercial organizations.

Differences from the standard model

In addition to the plastic body kit, the minivan was distinguished by other differences. At the front, there was a different bumper that increased the approach angle, along with modified lighting and a radiator grille. During the 2018 restyling, the minivan received a two-level optics borrowed from the American brand's crossovers. The plastic body kit visually increased the car, as did the spare wheel located on the trunk door.

Changes to the suspension allowed the ground clearance to be increased to 180 mm. Together with increased energy absorption, this significantly improved comfort on roads with poor surface quality. In top versions, the "off-road" exterior was complemented by 16-inch alloy wheels and tires with increased tread width and profile height.

Platform features

Like all compact models of brands that are part of the GM concern, the minivan was created on the Gamma II platform. At the front, an independent suspension of the McPherson type was used, and at the rear, a semi-dependent beam. The Activ version received its own shock absorber and spring settings. The suspension became softer on small bumps but retained sufficient stability when fully loaded. The seven-seat layout seriously affected the requirements for the chassis, so the rear had reinforced suspension elements and larger brake discs. On the move, these features provided the minivan with a quiet and smooth ride on uneven roads.

Most of the released instances were equipped with a 1.8-liter "atmospheric" gasoline engine from the GM Econoflex family. This engine developed 106-111 horsepower, depending on the fuel used, and about 161-174 Nm. In Brazil, the unit was adapted to work on both gasoline and ethanol. Depending on the version, it was combined with a 5-speed "mechanics" or a 6-range "automatic". During the 2018 update, the algorithms for switching the automatic transmission were improved, making them smoother. This had virtually no effect on the minivan's dynamics, as this was never its strong point, unlike traction at low revs.

Differences in the salon

The salon was one of the factors of the model's popularity. It was available in two layout options. The base was a 5-seat version, offering a huge trunk by class standards. 7-seat versions differed in the presence of a "gallery" designed for transporting adults, among other things.

After the 2018 restyling, the salon became even better. The front console was made in the brand's current stylistics with visually expanding horizontal lines. This was complemented by higher-quality trim materials. The standard equipment included multimedia with a 7-inch screen and wireless smartphone connectivity. In top versions, it was supplemented with a rear-view camera, climate control, and keyless access. An even more important innovation was the increase in the number of niches and containers for storing small items and objects. The second row of seats received longitudinal adjustment, and the third row folded into a flat floor, significantly increasing the cargo volume. Otherwise, the salon retained its other strong points - a vertical driver's seat with good forward visibility, a significant reserve of space for the legs and above the heads of passengers in the second row. It is worth noting the presence, even in the standard equipment, of a wide range of active safety systems - ESC, six airbags, and a hill start assistant.

Standard were wheels with a landing diameter of 15 and 16 inches, tires in the size of 195/65 and 205/60, respectively. Due to the concept of the car, such wheel products differed in increased carrying capacity. This should be taken into account when selecting them in the "Mosavtoshina" online store, which offers a wide range of various models.
