The Florida city that gave its name to Chevrolet’s compact MPV is Orlando. Chevrolet unveiled the Orlando concept at the 2008 Paris Motor Show as a five-door, seven-seat vehicle based on the Chevrolet Cruze sedan.
The concept was designed to combine the practicality of a family MPV with styling influenced by crossovers. Its name comes from Orlando, Florida, a city internationally associated with tourism, theme parks, and family travel—an appropriate association for a spacious people carrier. The production version entered manufacturing in 2010 and was sold in several markets, including South Korea, Europe, Canada, and parts of Asia and Latin America.
The Orlando was not marketed in the United States, despite its American Chevrolet badge and Florida-derived name. The first-generation model was produced mainly by GM Korea and remained in production until 2018. A separate second-generation Orlando later appeared in China, where production continued until 2023.
