Chevrolet Adra compact SUV concept debuts in Delhi

Chevy Adra 01

General Motors India has taken the wraps off the Chevrolet Adra – the compact SUV concept, which has been conceived, designed and developed by GM India, made its debut at the Delhi Auto Expo 2014.

The study is the first by General Motors Technical Centre India (GMTC-I), penned specifically for the emerging Indian market. Holden’s Global Design Centre in Australia assisted the development, being responsible for the construction and fabrication of the show car.

At 4.2 metres long, the Adra won’t gain the lower excise benefits given to sub-four metre vehicles, but the speculation is that it’ll be trimmed to meet requirements if the decision to put it to series production comes about, where it’ll go up against the likes of the Ford EcoSport and Renault Duster.

No tech details were released – all the company says is that the Adra boasts stunning design, all-round visibility, high ground clearance, generous interior space and emotional appeal.

    The front end looks like it was designed to be easy to turn into an Opel. Looks a bit like the Adam…

    The small SUV/crossover market really seems quite popular…

    It looks like a Kia Soul instead of an Evoque to me.
