General Motor’s Opel / Vauxhall division is preparing its own proposal in the small crossover segment to take on the likes of the Nissan Juke as well as the forthcoming Fiesta Fiesta-based CUV, and here are some spy shots of what will soon slot into Opel’s crossover lineup below the Antara.
Under all the camo is GM’s new compact crossover, and it’s expected to ride on an modified version of the upcoming Sonic/Spark’s Gamma II platform, which will also be used on the next Corsa. Anyone want to photoshop a 4-door Corsa high rider? If not, just imagine it.
Power should come from Opel’s current lineup of 1.4-liter and possibly 1.6-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder gasoline units as well as a choice of turbo diesel engines, while both front- or all-wheel drive configurations will likely be available when the Corsa crossover debuts.
Depending on markets, figures, and all the other variables that need be taken into account, the States might – might – see a Chevrolet or Buick version of this in the future to complement each brand’s respective compact offerings.
