The top of the line variant rides on 18-inch aluminum wheels while the entry-level variant comes with 16-inch alloys.

The subcompact crossover’s interior’s design is highly similar to that of any other Chevrolet vehicle. The dashboard and the finishes are akin to the style of the brand’s sedans.

McPherson strut independent suspension remains at the front while a torsion beam is attached to the rear. In the wheels are ventilated disc front brakes and solid discs for the rear.

The crossover is in a front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout wherein the engine is placed crosswise in order to create more space in the cabin.
