The English name "Cavalier" means "knight". In the history of the Chevrolet brand, the Cavalier was a Chevrolet mid-size sedan that was active in the American market from 1982 to 2005, and had achieved sales miracles in the mid-80s. Despite the same name, the new sedan designed and built in China has nothing to do with its "American predecessor". COVACZ is in production at SAIC-GM's "Green Smart Factory" in Wuhan and is only available in the Chinese market.

 

As for what exactly is a "Corvoz", in fact, we can describe it more simply: it is a high-spec version of the Chevrolet "Classic Cruz".

 

Corvoz chose the exact same power and chassis as the classic Cruze, and it was not even willing to add a little bit of cost, choosing the L15B direct injection engine of the second-generation Cruze, but choosing the cast iron block engine codenamed L2B, which also made it one of the "slower" cars on this list with a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of more than 13 seconds.

 

The classic Cruze powertrain is one of the least recommended, with its noisy, high fuel consumption and poor high-rev output, and the only improvement that Corvoz has made to this powertrain is the addition of engine start-stop - obviously this does not improve the high fuel consumption of this powertrain. And with a small 41-litre fuel tank, the Corvoz may soon become good friends with the staff at the gas station near your home.

 

The Kovoz's braking system is exactly the same as the classic Cruz, and it doesn't seem to be used to control the speed of the car, but only to stop the brakes, and you have to pay a lot of attention to control it to avoid a frustration in the car.

 

The size of the Corvoz is not small, and the wheelbase of the 2600 is also the mainstream level, but the strange thing is that not only does it not have much space in the back, but the luggage volume is also not large.

 

In short, the Corvoz is a car that is very good at stacking configurations, and its "basic qualities" are indeed not a good car, but in terms of "visible" to consumers, the configuration of this car is very generous. The top-of-the-line model comes with daytime running lights, lensed headlights, heated mirrors, stability and hill start assist, tire pressure monitoring, a 7-inch display, MyLink smart connectivity, a "theater-grade" audio system and a PM2.5 air filtration system, and it costs only 100,000 yuan.

 

Maybe this will offset your dissatisfaction while driving.
