For a long time, the Kia Rondo and Mazda5 faced virtually no competitors. Things have changed with the arrival of the Chevrolet Orlando, a seven-passenger vehicle whose rear doors are hinged (non-sliding). Under the hood is an Ecotec 2.4L 4-cylinder that produces 174 hp and 171 lbs.-ft. of torque. Both the manual transmission and the automatic (available on most models) feature six speeds. Six airbags are also included.
