General Motors' Chevrolet has been one of
the most recognized brands in India for
several decades. They were made popular
as the vehicle of choice of the heroes in
Bollywood movies. The model lineup consists
of vehicles from cheaper sister brands like
Subaru and GM Daewoo badged as Chevrolets.
General Motors initially entered India with
the Opel brand, but the Opel brand was dropped
in March 2006 because sales were at an all
time low due to high prices and General
Motors wanted to focus more on their Chevrolet
brand. Since the Chevrolet brand was introduced
in India, there have been no new Opel products.
GM's Indian operations were originally a
JV between Hindustan Motors and GM, with
most of GM's vehicles assembled at Hindustan's
plant in Halol, Gujarat. Since then, GM
India is now wholly owned by GM. Cars from
Cheverolet are:
- Aveo (sedan version
of Daewoo Gentra)
- Forester (sold until
2006)
- Optra (sedan version
of Daewoo Lacetti)
- SRV (hatchback version
of Daewoo Lacetti)
- Tavera
- Tavera Neo
