Next Generation Chevrolet Optra

karanraheja · 6th March 2008, 09:54

I found these Spy pics of Next Generation Chevrolet Optra. I could not find any of these info on the forums. Sorry if its a repost. The front looks a little like the Hyundai Sonata and the back like the present Corolla

the rear looks much like the honda civic

throttleking · 6th March 2008, 10:02

looks really good, though body lines seems to be same, no change in that, headlights, tail lights and front grills seems to be changed. there could be change in interior as well....although i like my Optra Magnum TCDI

Looks good..!
I am sure this car (if at all launched here) will be priced more than the present Optra.

hmm great, now it may actually look Korean, the present car did the mistake of looking Italian.

I think that's Tosca from GM - Daewoo. It is bigger than optra (nubira) and its front looks exactly like SX4.

It is also known as Chevy Epica.

I have seen quite a few Tosca cars in S. Korea.

great silhouette.

i think would be a good replacement to the present shape.

narayan · 6th March 2008, 10:30

this car looks much bigger than the current optra..!
head lights look like the current CHEVY EPICA..

btw- is the optra known as the Nubira outside india ? bcos i have seen the same spyshots somewhere with the 2008 Nubira name

sriramv.iyer · 6th March 2008, 10:32

@Narayan - The current Chevy Optra is actually Daewoo's Nubira
It is sold as Suzuki Forenza in US and in some other countries too.

carlover98 · 6th March 2008, 10:38

Any idea what is on top of the car in the frist two pics? Look like an antenna. Any idea waht that is?

shuvd · 6th March 2008, 10:44

Definitely looks bigger than the current car. The C pillar looks confused though. They tried to copy the Bee Ems

. Any idea about launch dates? Time to sell my Magnum kya??

The Optra is known as the Nubira in other markets.

narayan · 6th March 2008, 10:47

in the UK i think its known as Locetti - thats the official affordable track car in top gear

These and the camo cars are not the same. See the C-pillar and the rear door on the camo'd car.

Even the Camo'd car looks near about Kia Optima, which again is Sonata territory.

Looks bigger better and has a lot of similarities with the accord and the civic.Any idea of the introduction of the updated version.
