From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Chevrolet S3X (model C100) is a concept SUV developed by GM Daewoo's design center in Incheon and is based on GM Theta platform. It premiered at 2004 Paris Motor Show. Production should start in summer 2006. The car features common rail diesel engines developed in association with VM Motori. The S3X will be sold as the Chevrolet Captiva in Korea and Europe, and as the Holden Captiva in Australia.
The Suzuki XL7 in the United States and Canada is a derivative product based on the S3X.
The Chevrolet T2X is another concept car by GMDAT development center and premiered at the 2005 Seoul Motor Show. It is based on the design of the S3X. The T2X is referred to as a sport utility coupe, accounting for its rear hinged doors and shortened wheelbase, features that were first revealed on the Daewoo Scope concept car shown at the 2002 Frankfurt Motor Show. Production is slated for fall 2006. The car will also be sold as the Chevrolet Captiva.
The same platform is used for the Opel Antara GTC hand-made concept revealed at 2005 Frankfurt Motor Show, which is based on the T2X. The 2-door Antara is described as a GTC, a Gran Turismo Crossover. The production version of Antara GTC is to appear sometime in 2007 and will also replace the current Saturn VUE. The Antara will feature a range of Ecotec engines instead of Holden's Alloytec and VM Motori diesels.
The Captiva and the Territory Fighter will be produced by GM Daewoo.
