The car will extend the brand's involvement in EV vehicles beyond the Ampera extended range EV which goes on sale between summer and the end of the year.
The company has also announced that it is developing a crossover-type vehicle larger than the Insignia, targeting a section of the the premium car market.
This is despite the brand getting its tyres burned with large cars in the recent past, including the Sintra SUV in the late 1990s and the Signum in the mid-200s. The Senator/Monza built through the 1980s and into the 1990s, and the Omega built through the 90s were more successful.
