The Chevrolet Groove is one of three small car concepts introduced on 4 April 2007 at the New York International Auto Show.[5][6][7]
The Groove showcases a new style of small car from General Motors. The mini car was completely designed by GM Daewoo in South Korea.[8] The Groove is powered by a 1.0 L diesel engine that is similar to the one powering the current Chevy Spark, a minicar sold in Asia.[9][8]
The Chevrolet Beat and the Chevrolet Trax were also showcased to provide a vision for future designs in the GM subcompact segment. These three concepts could be voted on after their introduction on a special website.[10] In the end, both the Groove and Trax lost to the Beat, which is slated for production.
Both Beat and Trax were eventually green-lit for production. While the Groove was not, design language from it has found its way into the Chevrolet Sonic and Chevrolet Orlando designs.
