The Chevrolet N300 was positioned above the Chevrolet N200, a rebadged Wuling Hongtu in a few other markets. According to GM International Operations Vice President, Sales, Marketing and Aftersales Mark Barnes, “The Chevrolet N300s are robust vehicles well suited for challenging off-road driving and the weather conditions faced by users in emerging markets.” [4]
