The Chevrolet Omega is a large automobile sold by General Motors do Brasil. Originally, it was based on the Opel Omega A and built locally from 1992 to 1998, replacing the Chevrolet Opala, which was a development of the Opel Rekord C. From 1999, it became a badge-engineered version of the Holden Commodore and was fully imported from Australia. It is still in production.
Chevrolet Omega Mk I
Based on the Opel Omega A, the Chevrolet Omega débuted in Brazil in 1992 with 2ˇ0 (GLS trim), 3ˇ0 (CD trim) and 4ˇ1 (CD trim) L engines. From 1995, a 2ˇ2 GLX became available. It was highly regarded in Brazil as a Mercedes-Benz rival. It was usually available as a four-door sedan, but there was a Chevrolet Omega Suprema, the station wagon version, sold as a 3ˇ0 model only.
Chevrolet Omega Mk II
For 1999, Chevrolet began sourcing the Omega from Australia. It was a rebadged Holden Commodore and its model changes mirror those of the Australian cars exactly. It has been equipped with the 3ˇ8 Buick V6, developing 200 hp, until the 2005 model year when it is expected to take the 3ˇ6 L Alloytec V6. Only the four-door sedan is available.
