You can avoid car accidents if you can see a hazard ahead.

Importantly the Chevrolet Matiz gives you an elevated view of the road ahead. This visibility is a vital safety factor in anticipating accidents. The sooner you notice a hazard the sooner you can take action.

Being comfortably seated in a suitable driving position helps Matiz drivers react faster.

Here’s a list of Matiz features that increase your awareness because they take little of your attention which you can concentrate on the road ahead.

Power steering – standard on the Chevrolet Matiz
Internally adjustable door mirrors
High-level centre brake light
Heated rear window
Two-speed windscreen wipers with intermittent facility

The Chevrolet Matiz SE models are fitted with:
Driver’s seat height adjustment,
Electrically operated front windows.

All little things that can make a big difference.

You can then prevent an accident happening with the Chevrolet Matiz’s Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)

Chevrolet Matiz’s Standard Safety protection features:

The Matiz is constructed with a high tensile steel rigid safety cage, which limits the shock of an impact to protect the occupants. The A-pillar is also reinforced.

If a front seat belt pre-tensioner is activated in an incident the seat belt keeps you tight against the seat. In addition to three-point seat belts for all passengers in the Matiz, you have height-adjustable headrests, front dual airbags and two ISOFIX child seat fixings in the rear seat.

Here's how you get the best buy on a Chevrolet Matiz

If the Chevrolet Matiz fits your purse and purpose you'll want the best deal possible. You won't find new Chevrolets for sale in car trade centres, car supermarkets, or used car dealers. The very best deals are to be found in your local Chevrolet new car dealership.

Chevrolet's marketing is simple. The value is in their retail prices. You could say they are one third cheaper than most of their competitors or competitors can cost half as much again.

Chevrolet sometimes make special offers on a selected model over a limited time period. You need to talk with your local Chevrolet dealership to find the best deals for you. Any offers are always limited by time and availability and are not regularly repeated.

The value is in the price.

If you're thinking of buying now and shopping around for the best bargains you might purchase a pre-owned un-used cars for sale which the dealer can buy wholesale and sell at a discounted price in their used car sales department at near used car prices.

These cars seem cheap and keep your cost down but as with a used car they'll be aged, you have no choice of specs or colour and you'll be the second owner but I don't think that affects future car values. 

Car pricing can be complicated. Chevrolet make it simple with value pricing. As always, get your quotes in and do your price checks.

Chevrolet Matiz Warranty

Matiz from Chevrolet UK come with a 3-year 60,000 mile warranty from new. Body panels are covered by a 6-year anti-perforation warranty.

If the Chevrolet Matiz fits your lifestyle and pocket you need to act now because there’s a wait if your local car dealer doesn’t have a stock car to fit your  choice.

Talking of choice the following colours are available:

Ocean Blue, Electric Yellow, Poly Silver, Jazz Blue, Highway Yellow, Super Red, Apple Green, Dynamic Orange, Pearl Black, and Mighty Blue.
