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 GMs 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.
