The Chevy Cavalier is a long line of cars with an extensive history made by the American Company, General Motors. The car was originally introduced to the market in 1982 but went on to be produced in many different forms until 2005. Eventually it was replaced in 2004 to 2005 by the Chevrolet Cobalt.
The very first generation of Chevy Cavalier appeared on the market back in 1981. It was a front wheel drive and had 24 cylinder engines. This car came in two different forms, the two door and four door solutions with hatchback styles and station wagon body styles. The wide variety of styles and the degree of versatility made it particularly popular.
The second generation of cavaliers came in in 1988. They were thoroughly redesigned with a different styling and considerably modified engines. They also had varying body styles but the hatchback body style and the two doors sedan eventually disappeared from the product range. They were replaced by the coupe.
The engine also became more powerful and in 1990, the 2. 8 l engine was replaced with a considerably more powerful 3. 1 l engine. At the time, the transmission was also overhauled somewhat. Undergoing a slight revision in 1991, with regards to the interior and exterior, the car largely remained unchanged until 1994 which was the final year of the second generation of cavaliers.
In the second generation, the engine also started to become more powerful with a considerable upgrade from 2. 8 l to 3. 1 l. This came in in 1990 and also, at the time, the transition was somewhat overhauled. It went through a slight revision again in 1991 with regards to the exterior and interior. However, after that, the car remained largely unchanged until 1994.
1994 marked the end of a second generation of cavaliers. The 1995 cavalier was a complete redesign marking the start of the third generation. This shared little in common with any of the previous models. It again went through a facelift in 2000 and then again in 2003. After 2000, the convertible finally disappeared from the range and when the range went through a few more redesigns, it finally ceased production in 2005. After many facelifts, this car has an extensive and very successful history with many redesigns and some innovative technology.
Cavalier also went for a facelift once again in 2000 and finally in 2003. The convertible disappeared from the market in 2000, and the whole Chevrolet cavalier line of cars eventually cease production in 2005, making way for the new range of products on the market, the Chevrolet Cobalt.
