What is the Chevrolet Prizm?

The Chevrolet Prizm was a compact four-door sedan from the end of the Geo era. It offered a conventional layout, with a separate boot and room for everyday passenger use. When General Motors retired the Geo name, the Prizm continued in Chevrolet’s lineup.

The Prizm was developed through General Motors’ partnership with Toyota and built at NUMMI, the joint-venture plant where the Toyota Corolla was also assembled. Its connection to the Corolla gave the Chevrolet a shared compact-car foundation.
