General Motors has already indicated the Chevy Volt engine technology could find its way into other vehicles. While most auto journalists and pundits speculate the next vehicle would be Caddies, another Chevy, the Orlando SUV, is another candidate.Writes eGMCarTech:
According to Jon Lauckner, GM’s vice president of global program management, one place might be the new Chevrolet Orlando seven-passenger crossover.
Lauckner said that while GM has no definite plans to use the Volt technology in the Orlando, but noted that the Orlando will be built on an architecture that would easily allow GM to incorporate the hybrid-electric powertrain.
“I would point out that the Chevrolet Orlando is built on the same basic vehicle architecture and component set as the Chevrolet Volt,” Lauckner told Automotive News. “So if it makes sense, it’s certainly something we can take a look at.”
