Launch and Replacement of the Chevrolet Sprint
General Motors introduced the Geo Metro in 1989, positioning it as the successor to the Chevrolet Sprint. The new model carried forward the Metro name under the Geo brand, marking a fresh start for GM's subcompact lineup.
Two Distinct Generations
The Metro was produced in two main generations: the first from 1989 to 1994 and the second from 1995 to 2001. The second generation brought a redesign that kept the Metro on the market through the late 1990s, even after the Geo badge was dropped.
Born from a GM‑Suzuki‑Isuzu Partnership
The Geo Metro originated from a 1981 union between General Motors, Suzuki, and Isuzu, which let GM market the Suzuki Cultus as a captive import worldwide. This partnership gave the Metro its compact dimensions and efficient engineering.
