General Motors produced the Chevrolet Cavalier compact model for both Chinese and Mexican markets beginning with 1981 since its North American production start. The 1981 Chevrolet Cavalier introduced to the market used a 1.8-liter carbureted L46 inline-4 engine until GM replaced it in 1983 with a 2.0-liter fuel-injected L44 inline-4 engine. The 1985 release of the LB6 V6 2.8-liter engine with Z24 package elevated the performance capabilities of the Chevrolet Cavalier model. During its second generation Chevrolet Cavalier introduced three engine choices which included a 2.2-liter LN2 OHV inline-4 unit. The Chinese marketplace received a 1.5-liter S-TEC III inline-4 motor variant of the Cavalier. Each generation of Chevrolet Cavalier provided different transmission choices since the first generation came with manual 4-speed and automatic 3-speed transmissions though the third generation featured manual 5-speed Getrag F23 and automatic 6-speed options on the Chinese model. Multiple body styles of the Chevrolet Cavalier used the same wheelbase which expanded from 101.2 inches to 104.1 inches across different production models. Substantial demand exists for authentic Chevrolet Cavalier components especially those that are OEM parts that include durability and reliability features and can be obtained from authorized sellers.
