The SRV wants to enter the mind of the performance enthusiast, Chevrolet is charging a major premium for this car. Changes have been incorporated to the head and tail lamps though; the new front section looks neat with the big Chevrolet bow-tie which can be seen from a mile away. Very similar to all the Chevrolet cars in India, like the Chevrolet Aveo. The car is complete with 14" alloy wheels as standard fitment, with a 185/70 section wheels that help the car make an excellent style statement. If you thought the optra was stylish, chevrolet have really bettered themselves with this. The proportions are very elegant; the long sweeping bonnet with the nicely raked screen give the car a very purposeful stance. The transmission on the Chevrolet SRV is the standard H pattern 5 speed manual with 5 forward and 1 reverse gear. It also incorporates the safety feature that requires you to pull a notch on the gear lever to engage reverse. The clutch on the SRV felt unbelievably soft.

The gearbox has very long throw and each gear engages with an uncanny bite that can be annoying. This motor is particularly suited for those long, ultra fast cruises like 130+ kmph.
