While the Onix is a brand new nameplate for the region and the redesigned for 2020 Captiva is a family favourite and both add a fresh dynamic to Chevrolet’s line-up, but headlining the 2019 Dubai International Motor Show was the 2020 Corvette Stingray. The eighth-generation model made its regional debut, bringing new levels of performance, technology, craftsmanship and luxury to Chevrolet’s 2020 line-up.

“At Chevrolet, we are proud to offer one of the region’s broadest and most diverse line-ups, appealing to all types of customers and today’s reveals demonstrate this. From the fastest and most luxurious Corvette Stingray to the trendy and versatile Onix and Captiva, the perfect SUV for the whole family, Chevrolet’s line-up is fresher and more dynamic than ever before,” said John Roth, President and Managing Director – General Motors Africa and Middle East. “Dubai International Motor Show is a perfect platform to regionally debut these new vehicles, as it brings the region’s biggest car enthusiasts under one roof to appreciate how we are driving the future through innovation and cutting-edge automotive engineering.”

2020 Corvette Stingray
Building on the boundary-pushing legacy of the nameplate, the 2020 Stingray is the first ever mid-engine Corvette, attaining the very pinnacle of innovation. Reaching the highest limits of performance with the traditional front-engine vehicle, Chevrolet engineers relocated the very heart of the Corvette: its engine. Now, sitting like a jewel in a showcase, the 2020 Stingray packs the fastest 0-60 time of any entry Corvette ever at under three seconds when equipped with Z51 performance package.

The 2020 Stingray is powered by Chevy's next-generation 6.2-litre Small Block V8 LT2 engine, the only naturally aspirated V8 in its segment. It will produce 495 horsepower and 637Nm of torque when equipped with performance exhaust - the most horsepower and torque for any entry Corvette.

Inspired by modern fighter jets, the 2020 Stingray cuts a striking silhouette: lean, muscular and unmistakably Corvette. Expressing power and a sense of motion from every angle, the new location of the engine is the focal point of the design, visible through the large rear hatch window.

The 2020 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray goes into production at GM’s Bowling Green Assembly in late 2019 and will be available in the Middle East from mid-2020.

2020 Captiva
The all-new 2020 Captiva is a complete reinvention of its nameplate, building on Chevrolet’s global SUV experience to mark a new era for Captiva in the Middle East. With its cutting-edge styling, life-sized interior space, high fuel efficiency and smart technologies, the all-new Chevrolet Captiva is a car for every family that is constantly on the move.

The 2020 Onix is fun to drive, with an all-new family of three-cylinder turbo engines, both 1.0-litre and 1.2-litre, along with hyrda-matic six-speed AT transmission to maintain exceptional fuel economy. Onix also offers an enhanced electric power steering system which has been specifically tuned for the vehicle to bring the driver more confidence on the road.

Available in three trims and two turbo engine variants, the Onix will join the regional line-up in late 2020.
