Chevy’s New Subcompact SUV Steps Into the Spotlight

Chevrolet Philippines Launches the All-New Groove to Shake Up the Small SUV Scene

Chevrolet Philippines has just added a new rhythm to the small SUV market with the official launch of the all-new Chevrolet Groove, a stylish and feature-packed subcompact crossover now available at an introductory price of ₱1,156,000.

Aimed at first-time buyers and young families, the Groove arrives via Chevrolet’s local distributor, Hariphil Asia Resources, Inc., and boasts an enticing mix of style, safety, and everyday tech.

Looks That Hit the Right Notes

On the outside, the Groove keeps it sharp and classy. Its LED headlights and wide grille are complemented by a gloss black bumper garnish and sporty black accents, including a signature C-pillar panel and 17-inch two-tone alloy wheels. Dual exhaust tips at the back—something rare in this class—add a premium, athletic touch.

Six color options are available: Pearl White, Track Yellow, Tiger Blue, Glazed Red, Tungsten Grey, and Star Twinkle Black.

Power Under the Hood

The Groove is powered by a 1.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, producing 150 hp and 255 Nm of torque, paired to a CVT that drives the front wheels.

Feature-Packed Interior

Inside, the Groove brings a premium feel with leather seats, red stitching, a 7-inch digital driver display, and a 10.25-inch infotainment screen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. There’s a sunroof, USB-A and USB-C ports (front and rear), and a 6-speaker sound system. The driver’s seat is power-adjustable, while the second row folds 60:40, expanding luggage space from 436L to 1,120L.

Safety is Front and Center

Chevrolet didn’t skimp on safety. The Groove comes standard with:

• 6 airbags
• Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
• Traction Control, Hill Start Assist, and ABS with EBD
• Tire Pressure Monitoring System
• Adaptive Cruise Control with Traffic Jam Assist
• Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB)
• Forward Collision Warning (FCW)
• Lane Departure Warning and Prevention
• Emergency Lane Keeping Assist

Should You Buy It Now?

At ₱1,156,000, the Groove is a compelling offer. But there’s a catch. Chevrolet says this is a limited-time price, with the standard SRP expected to jump to ₱1,268,000—a ₱112,000 difference. Positioned against rivals like the Toyota Raize, Kia Sonet, and Yaris Cross, the Groove stands out with its more powerful turbo engine, upscale design, and full suite of driver-assist features.

So yes, if you’re in the market for a stylish and well-equipped crossover, now’s the time to get in the Groove.
