On the interiors, the placement of controls in the central console has been improved, the plastic quality has been improved and apart from this some new features like support for phone and multimedia devices like iPod etc. may also be enhanced.
The performance, ride and handling is also expected to be better than the previous generation. Chevrolet needs to make this new generation model more catchy and value for money as the SUV space in India has become more competent than ever.
