Updated Chevrolet Tavera in the works, will get BSIV engine

General Motors India have officially announced that they are working on an updated version of the Chevrolet Tavera MPV, which will come with a BSIV engine. Currently, the Tavera is powered by a BSIII engine, which has been discontinued from all metro cities as it failed to comply with the Government's emission standards.

The new Tavera would be produced at the company's Halol plant in Gujarat. The new Tavera is expected to come with some exterior and interior modifications, in order to make it a worthy competitor in the narrowing MPV space.

GM has been trying to shut down operations at its manufacturing facility in Halol, Gujarat, as the company plans to shift its entire manufacturing process to its other plant in Talegaon, Maharashtra. But a recent announcement from the American automaker suggests that the Halol factory will continue its operations till March 2017. This extension will give time for the employees, suppliers and stakeholders for a smooth and orderly transition.

In addition to the Tavera, Chevrolet India will be launching many new products in the next 24 months, including the new Trailblazer, the next-gen Beat, Essentia compact sedan, and production version of the Beat Activ concept that was showcased at this year's auto expo.
