The Metro was a rebadged version of the then known Suzuki Swift. The Metro utilized
many of the Swift’s drivetrain and interior components. The year 1989 marked Metro’s
appearance into the Chevrolet showrooms as it replaced another prior model, the
Chevrolet Sprint. As was expected, the Metro was several inches longer than the
Sprint and was enriched with more safety and convenience features. Throughout
Metro’s
thirteen-year run, the two-door convertible, two-door hatchback, four-door sedan,
and the four-door station wagon trims were all reputed bestsellers.
Originally, all of the Chevy Metro models were produced in Japan. However, in 1990, all of its production transferred
to CAMI Automotive in Ingersoll, Ontario; a carmaking firm jointly owned by General
Motors and Suzuki. And due to the insistent demand of the Metro users and patrons,
the 1.3 L 4-cylinder, an optional engine that modestly provided 70 horsepower,
came for availability.
The Metro is remarkably called “a well-made little commuter”. It handles well
in bumps and cornering. Inside and out, the Metro delivers aerodynamic qualities
and capabilities thus, becoming attractive to everyone who has an eye on the vehicle.
It may look small on the outside but mind you, it has a lot of interior and cargo
room. Convenience and safety features all the more highlight the qualities of
the Metro. Hence, it is a small-looking car with a lot to offer. Amazing? Well,
what do you expect less from a Chevrolet?
Chevy Metro proves to be a good vehicle for any purpose. Not only that. There
is more to every feature of a Metro. The four trims available for this model are
all quite well-defined and sky-rocketing in terms of convenience and safety features—all
of which are what drivers and passengers look for, ask for, and expect from a
good vehicle that gives out good, pleasurable, and enjoying ride and drive.
