GM4200 platform


introduced the front-wheel drive GM4200 platform in 1982 with the introductions of two subcompacts, the Opel Corsa A and the Vauxhall Nova. The platform was also used by Holden, Chevrolet's Latin American branch, and Buick of China. The platform is still in use today by Chevrolet's Latin American branch for their entry-level models. This platform became very popular in Mexico in 1994, when the model renamed Chevy Swing and Chevy Joy was imported from Spain. In 1996, the models were built in Mexico and several variants were offered: a 4-door sedan, a 2- and a 4-door hatchback, a pickup truck, and a station wagon. The popular Chevy went on with cosmetic changes, that included changes to the front end and dashboard, and another redesign in 2009. It was retired after the 2011 model year.
