HOLDENBarina 5 Doors 2011 - 2016

　　As part of the GM, Holden received the second generation of the Chevrolet Kalos hatchback and rebadged it as a Barina in 2011.

　　Holden produced the Barina as a badge-engineered car using various platforms. The first two generations were based on the Suzuki Cultus/Swift. The following two were re-badged European Opel Corsas and the fifth and sixth generations were based on the Chevrolet Kalos, which were based on former Daewoo platforms developed by the Korean carmaker before it was taken over by General Motors.

　　The Kalos' second generation was based on the same Giugiaro-designed model for the Korean carmaker but revised by GM's designer Ondrej Koromhaz. It featured angular headlights and a big grille split in the middle by a horizontal slat. Its flared wheel arches looked aggressive like it was a sporty hot-hatch. Well, it wasn't.

　　Inside, the cheap upholstery and hard plastic were nicely designed and centered around the driver's seat. GM tried to save the Holden brand and it needed big sale numbers. At the front, it installed bucket seats, but without side bolstering. In the back, a split-folding bench was installed to increase the trunk size.

　　Under the hood, Holden offered the 2011 Barina with Daewoo-developed engines paired to either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic.
