New car lines - Chevrolet MPV and Honda Jazz Hybrid announced

	Chevrolet's first entrant into the European MPV segment, the Orlando, will be one of the star attractions at the Mondial de l'Automobile in Paris on 30 September. The seven-seat Orlando is based on Chevrolet's successful and award winning Cruze saloon and there will be a choice of three of Chevrolet's latest fuel efficient engines.
One petrol engine will be available, a 1.8 litre with power output of 141 hp and two diesel units, the latest version of Chevrolet's 2.0 litre engine with outputs of 131hp (low output) or 163 hp (high output).
	Customers will also be able to choose from four trim levels in the UK with standard equipment on all cars including electronic stability control, six air-bags, air conditioning and electrically heated and adjustable door mirrors. Full production of the Chevrolet Orlando starts in October with the car going on sale across Europe in early 2011. It comes in above the five-seat Captiva SUV.

Honda will reveal a hybrid version of its Jazz small car, called the Fit in other markets, at the Paris show. The car goes on sale in Japan and Europe next year with a powertrain borrowed from the Honda Insight hybrid. That car is equipped with a 1.3-liter, 98-hp gasoline engine, 10-kW electric motor, continuously variable transmission and nickel-metal hydride battery.
