Chevrolet does not build many cars like the Chevrolet Adra: a 5 door with 79.33 cuin MultiJet, built from 2014 as electrification stopped being an experiment and the crossover took every market. Its designer of record is GM India.

Where it came from

The Chevrolet Adra is a concept subcompact crossover SUV unveiled in Auto Expo 2014 by Chevrolet. The car was designed by General Motors India Private Limited in their Bangalore facility. Production of the Adra was going to be in 2016 or 2017 as an India-only subcompact SUV, but production was cancelled as Chevrolet sales were declining in India, leading to Chevrolet pulling out of the Indian market, along with South Africa, in 2017.

Under the skin

Under the skin sits 79.33 cuin MultiJet. The layout matters: a front engine drives the rear wheels, the classic proportion — long bonnet, cabin set back — that most people picture when they picture a sports saloon or a grand tourer. The wheelbase is 2525 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.

In context

On a showroom list of its day it stood against the Ford Escort, the Infiniti Q50, the Ferrari 488. Nearby in the Chevrolet catalogue sit the Chevrolet C-10 and the Chevrolet Camaro.
