General information and overview

The Chevrolet Optra SRV Base (Petrol) is a hatchback version of the Optra sedan, launched in India in 2006. It is essentially a rebadged Daewoo Lacetti, known for its stylish design and feature-rich interior. The car comes with a 1.6-litre petrol engine that produces 101 Bhp and 140Nm of torque, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. The SRV boasts features like a 2-Din stereo, power steering, all-side power windows, and a rear de-fogger. The exterior is distinguished by a hatch-specific spoiler and clear lens headlights and taillights. While the car excels in terms of performance and handling, especially on highways, its higher price and poor fuel economy were significant drawbacks. The Optra SRV was discontinued in 2013, but it remains a notable entry in Chevrolets attempt to capture the Indian hatchback market.

Our Verdict

Expert opinion and recommendation

The Chevrolet Optra SRV Base (Petrol) is a vehicle that stood out for its stylish design and robust performance, but it ultimately failed to capture a significant share of the Indian market. Despite being feature-packed with amenities like a 2-Din stereo, power steering, and all-side power windows, the cars high price point was a major deterrent for Indian consumers. The 1.6-litre petrol engine, producing 101 Bhp and 140Nm of torque, offered decent performance, especially on highways, but the fuel economy was not its strong suit. Additionally, the after-sales service and support from Chevrolet were criticized, which further impacted the cars popularity. Overall, while the Optra SRV had its strengths, it was not well-suited to the Indian markets preferences and budget constraints.

Price

Pricing details and changes

The Chevrolet Optra SRV Base (Petrol) was priced around Rs. 6.98 lakh ex-showroom in India during its time. When considering the on-road price, which includes additional costs such as registration, insurance, and other taxes, the total would have been closer to Rs. 8-9 lakh. This pricing was relatively high compared to other hatchbacks available in the market, making it less competitive. As an automotive reviewer, I believe the pricing strategy was a significant factor in the cars limited success, as Indian buyers were more inclined towards more affordable options that offered similar features and performance.

Mileage

Fuel efficiency information

The mileage of the Chevrolet Optra SRV Base (Petrol) is a concern for potential buyers. With an ARAI-certified mileage of 12.3 kmpl, real-world city driving averages around 7-9 kmpl, which is not very impressive. This lower fuel efficiency, especially in city driving conditions, could increase running costs, making it less appealing to those who prioritize fuel economy. If you are concerned about mileage and running costs, this might not be the most economical choice.
