Chevrolet SUV's To Re-Enter China

Opel Antara will be re-badged as a Chevy for the Chinese market

SHANGHAI - August 2, 2007: "Chevrolet SUVs will come to the Chinese market by the end of this year." said Sun Xiaodong, Shanghai GM marketing director.

"The new SUV is an Opel SUV model, but branded Chevrolet, and there are two versions: 2.4L and 3.2L engine for consumers to choose. Shanghai GM will not produce this model in China in the near future, and we will introduce the 2.4L SUV, and 3.2L SUV will be postponed due to its relatively high price." Said the director.

The prototype model of the Chevrolet SUV will be the Opel Antara. It will be powered by a V6 3.2L engine, and also will have ABS, and DSC standard. Currently the model is priced at about 27,000 euro in Europe ($36,956 USD equivalent).
