After all, the hatchback with five doors will not be unveiled until later this month, at the motor show in Frankfurt. The vehicle was created at the GM design studio in Europe. It is the sixth generation of this particular silhouette, which leads by the cab, features a steep windscreen, and has a sloping roof in the rear.

However, contrary to its predecessors, it is longer, at 4400 millimeters; the wheelbases are 71 millimeters longer.

The design cues are purposely similar to those seen in the Insignia, both inside of the vehicle and outside of it.

Some things are different, however, meant to be innovative. These include the light signatures, which are shaped like wings, as well as the reversed blade on the flank of the vehicle.
