Chevrolet Nubira

The Chevrolet Nubira tourism is one of four doors measuring 4.5 m long. It is available with two petrol engines (109 or 122 hp) or a Diesel (121 hp), manual or automatic, and three trim levels (table of all versions for sale). There is also a version with bodywork family called Nubira SW.

The interior space is good and responds well on the road. The carrier is made of materials with the right quality to make travel enjoyable.

Is for sale from € 12,475. The more affordable version with the engine of 121 hp Turbo costs € 17,700, from the Diesel Car of similar characteristics (table with the alternatives), only cost less KIA Cerato 1.6 CRDi 4p, 4p the Hyundai Elantra 2.0 CRDi and the Ford Focus 1.8 TDCi 115cv Sedan. Of these four, the Ford is the only one who can bring stability control.

The Nubira has two front airbags and two side, has no head. All five seats have seat belts and three-point resposacabezas. There are ISOFIX attachments for child seats in the rear side seats. Other security features in the Nubira are ABS and traction control (only with the equipment CDX) can not have stability control.

Stability and reactions of the curve Nubira are good.

The Turbo 121 hp motor is recommended for the force that is at all times, both to gain speed in gear to start from standing, a little awkward maneuver in many modern cars Turbo. An engine is not particularly noisy or vibrate much, except when it is cold.

With this engine, the Nubira reaches 186 km / h and accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in 10.6 s. Spends 6.6 l/100km, an intermediate value between its alternatives.

Of the two versions of petrol seems preferable to the less potent (1.6 liter, 109 hp) makes less noise at high speed and less vibration during acceleration (in addition to being more noisy, the 1.8-liter makes 122 hp a nice little noise). With the 1.6 liter engine, the Nubira reaches 187 km / h and gets an average consumption of 7.1 l/100 km. The 1.8 liter can reach 195 km / h and its average consumption is 7.4 l/100 km.

The shift has some very long walks and is somewhat slow in operation, all versions of manuals are five gears. The most powerful gasoline engine and can carry a diesel automatic gearbox (four marches on gasoline and diesel in five).

The interior space is large, especially in the rear seats. The highlight is the distance to the legs of the occupants of the rear seats, height is also good. The width is adequate to carry back to two people, is close to three. Is bigger than a Renault Megane sedan and looks like a Hyundai Elantra. The trunk, with a capacity of 405 l, it is not the greatest because the length of the car.

The quality of finishing Nubira I thought it appropriate, even with good detail, although it appears that a car is designed to be sold at an affordable price. For example, the light gray coating of the lower half of the dashboard is not very elaborate. However, the top panel is a dark plastic and soft touch, which seems good. In addition to the type of plastic used, the type of cut of the pieces that make up the interior trimmed or joints between them is correct, there are no sharp edges or rough.

From the Nubira SX versions have a steering wheel and gear shift lever leather lining that provides a nice touch.

With a less powerful engine is available in two equipment levels: SE and SX. The most equipped (CDX) is available with 1.8 petrol engine is the Diesel, and has items such as radio with CD reader and five controls on the steering wheel, windshield wipers or automatic. The SE can optionally have air conditioning, all have air conditioning as standard.

The bodywork of Nubira is the work of the GM Design Center and Pininfarina. Other models such as the Matiz and Kalos are designed by Giugiaro. The Nubira is manufactured at the plant in Kunsan is Chevrolet.
