General Motors will be introducing an all-new ‘people mover’ for the 2010 model year, and our spy photographers spotted the upcoming MPV while out testing. The Delta-based MPV will be built at GM’s Hamtramck, Michigan, plant – alongside such future vehicles as the Chevrolet Volt and next-generation Malibu.
Codenamed MPV-7, this new ‘people mover’ will be closely related to the next Opel Zafira – although it will have a unique look. The front-wheel-drive MPV will offer seating for either five or seven passengers – depending on the options and packages that the customer chooses.
Chevrolet will be the first U.S. GM brand to get a version of the Opel-based MPV, but it still remains possible that Saturn could receive a version of the MPV-7. However, earlier reports indicated that the Saturn version would still be produced in Europe.
Prices for the Chevy-branded MPV are expected to start in the high $20,000 range and top out in the low $30,000s. Look for production to begin in the second quarter of 2009.
