The Chevrolet Tavera is a compact MPV produced in Indonesia by
Japanese automaker Isuzu Motors and in India by American
automaker General Motors sold in ASEAN and Indian markets. It uses the
platform of the Isuzu Panther, a diesel-powered
multi-purpose vehicle sold in Indonesia. In other markets it is known as the
Isuzu AUV, HiLander or Crosswind.
In India, this MUV's main competition includes such vehicles like the Ford Fusion, Toyota
Innova, Hindustan
Pushpak, Mahindra
Bolero, Tata Sumo, and similar
vehicles. Unlike some MUVs like the Fusion (which is based on the Ford
Fiesta and also sold in Europe), this MUV is based on a pickup
truck, in this case an Isuzu model.
Isuzu designed
the original Tavera, known as the Panther. Chevrolet's version is a
consumer-grade version of the Panther, which is more designed for
businesses.
Recently, because of Chevrolet's marketing of their Indian lineup as "an
Indian revolution" (similar to their US marketing campaign), the Tavera
is now sold as two models. The original Tavera is still being sold; however more
upmarket models in India are now sold as the "Tavera Neo".
