Chevrolet
The Chevrolet Spin is one of 277 Chevrolet models in the MotorJury library, the catalogue that sets out to hold every car ever made — production, prototype and concept alike. The record places its introduction in 2012. The photography on this page is hotlinked from Wikimedia Commons under an open licence, with the photographer credited on every frame.
To read the Chevrolet Spin properly it helps to place it in its decade. The 2010s were the decade electrification stopped being a science project — Tesla forced the incumbents' hand, downsized turbo engines replaced displacement, and the crossover conquered every market. Any car launched into that world was shaped by it — by what materials, engineering and regulation allowed, and by what buyers of the day demanded. Its direct contemporaries in this catalogue, introduced within three years of it, include the Mazda Mazda CX-5, the Peugeot Peugeot 208, the Tesla Tesla Model X — the cars a buyer of the period would actually have cross-shopped.
On paper, the Chevrolet Spin reads like this: the record lists its engine as Petrol engine / Petrol: / 1.2 L GM Family 0 engine#Generation III / A12XER Straight-four engine / I4 (Indonesia) / 1.5 L Daewoo S-TEC engine#S-TEC III / L2B S-TEC III I4 (Southeast; drive goes through 5-speed GM F17 manual / 6-speed GM 6T30 automatic / 6-speed GM GF6 automatic (1.8); the layout is Front-engine, front-wheel-drive. Every figure above is a manufacturer specification carried by the Wikipedia infobox or the open Wikidata record for this model — nothing on this page is estimated, and where a source is silent the row simply does not appear.
Within Chevrolet's own catalogue the Chevrolet Spin sits alongside the Chevrolet Adra, the Chevrolet C-10, the Chevrolet Camaro (2015), the Chevrolet Corsa. The record names the Opel Meriva#Meriva A / Chevrolet Meriva / Opel Zafira / Chevrolet Zafira / Chevrolet Tavera (Indonesia) as its predecessor, anchoring one end of its lineage. Design is credited to Matt Noone (exterior) / Dagoberto Tribia (interior). Assembly is recorded at Brazil: São Caetano do Sul (GM do Brasil) / Indonesia: Bekasi, West Java (GM Indonesia).
This library is generated, verified and rebuilt from the open record on every deploy. The catalogue skeleton comes from Wikidata, specifications from Wikipedia's infoboxes under CC BY-SA, photography from Wikimedia Commons under each file's own licence, and the ownership data from United States federal safety records. Nothing is written by hand and nothing is invented: every fact on this page traces to a public source, and every page is rebuilt nightly as those sources improve. Errors in the source record will appear here too — and disappear the night the source is corrected.
What this page cannot yet tell you is what the Chevrolet Spin costs to live with — that is a different dataset. MotorJury's ownership verdicts are computed from federal complaint and recall records plus EPA economy data, published per model year as the nightly ingest reaches each car. If this model was sold in the United States, its years will surface in the ownership database; browse it live or price any car yourself with the true-cost calculator.
Specifications come from the Wikipedia infobox for this model (CC BY-SA) and the open Wikidata record, and are shown only where a source actually carries them — nothing here is estimated. Figures are manufacturer specifications, not measured results.
