Overview
The car was developed at the SAIC-GM Pan Asia Technical Automotive Center (PATAC) in Shanghai.[7] While not visually similar to other GM cars, it has been suggested that the 630 and 610 is based on the Buick Excelle/Daewoo Lacetti platform.[8]
In 2014, the car debuted in Egypt and Algeria as the Chevrolet Optra.[9][10] The 2023 model was the final Optra to be listed on the Chevrolet Arabia website.
