==== Brazil ==== {{multiple image | align = right | image1 = Chevy Comodoro Coupé.jpg | width1 = 199 | caption1 = [[Chevrolet Opala]] | image2 = Chevrolet Corsa 20150814-DSC05622.JPG | width2 = 196 | caption2 = [[Opel Corsa|Chevrolet Corsa]] sedan }} In Brazil, the [[Chevrolet Opala]] was based on the German [[Opel Rekord]] and American [[Chevrolet Nova]] from the late 1960s, continuing in production until the early 1990s, when it was replaced by a version of the [[Opel Omega]]. The basic version had a 151 four-cylinder engine with 82 hp and 143.2 lb-ft. The top-of-the-line version was called Opala SS and used the GM engine 250-S inline six-cylinder and possessed solid lifters with 171 hp and 278.5 lb-ft, which led to the record-breaking South American speed road cars in 1976, with 118.36 mph (190.47 km/h), beating the Puma GTB (which also used the GM 250 engine inline six-cylinder, but without solid lifters) and the Brazilian version of the Dodge Charger R / T 318 and Ford Maverick V8 302 quadrijet. Other smaller Chevrolets in Brazil, such as the Kadett and Monza, were based on the [[Opel Kadett]] and [[Opel Ascona|Ascona]] respectively.{{citation needed|date=January 2024}} Chevrolet's product line-up in Brazil comprised some exclusive designs like the Corsa "B" based [[Chevrolet Celta|Celta]], which was sold in Argentina under the Suzuki brand, the [[Opel Astra|Astra]], and a Brazilian-designed [[Opel Vectra|Vectra]] based on the [[Opel Astra]] H. The passenger car range currently includes the Cruze, the Captiva, the Agile hatchback, [[Chevrolet Onix]]. The latest home-grown product is the Chevrolet Prisma MKII, released in 2013. Utility and [[four-wheel drive]] vehicles line-up includes the S-10, the Blazer, and the [[Chevrolet Montana|Montana]]. The Montana is a compact pickup truck, based on the Agile, that is also sold in other Latin American markets. From the 1960s to the mid-1980s, there was also a large station wagon, derived from the [[Chevrolet C/K|C10]] truck (somewhat similar to the [[Chevrolet Suburban|Suburban]]), called the [[Chevrolet Veraneio|Veraneio]].
