Chevrolet Celta

It was released in 2000 in Brazil as a three-door hatchback with a 60 PS (44 kW) 1.0 L (61 cu in) gasoline engine, based on the Opel Corsa B and with design features similar to those of the Chevrolet (Opel) Vectra B. In 2002, a five-door version was made available, and the engine power was increased to 70 metric horsepower (51 kW) at 6,400 rpm, the same VHC (Very High Compression) technology used in the Latin American Corsa C. A 85 PS (63 kW) 1.4 L (0.31 imp gal; 0.37 US gal) gasoline engine was added in 2003.

An "Off-Road" accessories kit was for sale for both old and new Celtas in 2005, and the 1.0 L was converted into a gasoline-ethanol flexible fuel engine (gasoline versions are still available, especially outside Brazil).

In 2006, the Celta underwent a facelift, which provided for a more modern look and an enhancement of build quality. The new front fascia makes it closer to new Chevrolet models, especially the new Brazilian made Chevrolet Vectra based on the Opel Astra [H] (different from the Chevrolet Vectra C model sold in other latin countries as México or Chile).

A sedan version of the Celta, named Chevrolet Prisma, was released in early 2007. It was not meant to replace Classic (a low cost sedan version of the Corsa B) neither the Corsa Sedan (C), but to fill a market gap between them instead. The only available engine option is a 1.4 L Econo.Flex gasoline/ethanol flexible fuel engine. Its high compression rate gives as a result a maximum output of 97 PS when running on ethanol and 95 hp when running on gasoline.

Early 2009 marked the release of the Prisma 1.0-litre and the new VHC-E engine (77 hp or 57 kW gasoline and 78 hp or 58 kW ethanol) for Prisma and Celta. By early 2012, 1.5 million Celtas had been built in Gravataí.

The Japanese automaker Suzuki sold a rebadge variant of the Celta called Suzuki Fun in Argentina between 2004 and 2011. The Fun was only available as a 3- or 5-doors hatchback in LS and LT trim levels, and was replaced by the facelifted Celta in July 2011 after the Suzuki brand was entirely withdrawn from the country.
