GM's star attraction at the 25th edition of the Sao Paulo International Auto Show that opened its doors to the members of the press on Monday, 27 October is the Chevrolet GPiX crossover coupe concept. The sporty crossover whose name is a pseudonym for Global Image - "G" for global and "Pix" meaning "picture" or "image"- was developed by GM Design in Brazil and according to Jaime Ardila, President of General Motors Brazil and Mercosur, the concept could result in the development of a series of models for the markets of South America. -Continued
The subcompact crossover with the high ground clearance is claimed to feature Chevy's global design "DNA" something that translates to the split-grille motif, the pronounced wheel arches and the sharp headlights.Chevy's allegedly global design language is less obvious in the GPiX's interior that can seat up to four passengers. All seats fold and the floor panel is flat thus increasing spaciousness. Other features include an array of connectivity and entertainment systems, such as Bluetooth, hand-held computers, CD player and MP3 player.
The American automaker did not reveal any technical details, but it is beleived that the GPiX is based on the latest Opel Corsa platform. If the GPiX were to be produced, it would most likely be offered with a range of 4-cylinder engines.
