Road trip to Italy: behind the wheel of a Chevrolet Orlando

Last year we launched a new kind of test at Highmotor, thanks to the collaboration of Subaru, we were able to test an LPG-powered Outback across France, seeing how the car behaves, the charging points, what stands out about the car, its flaws and, in short, covering far more miles than an ordinary model test allows.

Just a few months ago we used the same formula and, thanks to the collaboration of Honda, we took a Honda Accord Type S with 180 CV to the Geneva Motor Show, a moment we used to test the powerful Japanese saloon through Franco-Swiss territory. This type of test also lets you go sightseeing without leaving home, because we talk not only about the car but also about the route, the villages and the interesting places to visit.

And this time we wanted to take a very well-known and stunningly beautiful route from Spain to Italy, through the French Riviera and up into northern Italy, without leaving out Tuscany, Venice or Lakes Garda and Como. For this journey, and thanks to the collaboration of Chevrolet, we have decided to test the new MPV in its range, the Orlando, a car ideal for families and also well suited to testing on the road.
