The Chevrolet Kalos Three-Door
Published: 16th February 2005
Chevrolet Kalos
A spacious interior with above-average headroom and legroom
Thanks to the unusually generous height of 1,495 millimetres and one of the longest wheelbases in its class (2,480 millimetres), the bright, friendly interior of the Kalos is very spacious. The front headroom of 955 millimetres leads in this class. The same is true of the rear legroom, which reaches a best-in-class 900 millimetres.
Apart from the spacious interior, passengers will also appreciate the comfortable seats, which offer good thigh support for long trips. More pronounced side cushions on seats and backrests complement the sporting design. For rear-seat passengers to enter and leave the vehicle, the front passenger's seat can be folded forward to the front with only one hand. When everyone has reached or left their seats, it returns easily to its initial position. With the standard adjustable-rake steering wheel and a height-adjustable seat, drivers of all sizes can be sure of finding an ergonomically ideal position behind the wheel. The slightly raised seating position and the exterior mirrors, which are remotely adjustable, give the driver a good command of the traffic situation. For the three-door Kalos, the top of the rear headrests has been slightly flattened to improve the rear view.
Lots of interior storage
There is certainly no shortage of storage space. Drinks cans and cups are held safely in place in the fold-out cup holders on the centre console or the recesses at the end of the central tunnel. An optional 12V socket to provide power for mobile phone-charging, for example, can be fitted beside the parking brake. Additional storage space is available in the generous door pockets, the glove compartment and an open shelf under the radio as well as pouches on the backs of the front seats and the side of the passenger's seat. The front headrests are fitted with hooks to hold small shopping bags reliably in place.
