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 and uses shortened Theta platform. 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.
