Daewoo / Chevrolet Evanda From 2000 until 2004, the V200 was marketed as
Daewoo Evanda in Western Europe, and
Chevrolet Evanda in many Eastern European countries where GM did not use the Daewoo brand, as locally manufactured versions of old Daewoo models were still sold under that marque. The Evanda replaced the Leganza, and also the
Chevrolet Alero. Later, in 2004, the entire Daewoo brand was replaced by Chevrolet in all of Europe, with models renamed accordingly.

Chevrolet Epica Canada Since 2004 (during which it sold alongside the Suzuki Verona), the Chevrolet Epica was sold in Canada in two trim levels, the LS and LT. It replaced the
Oldsmobile Alero since the
marque's phaseout in 2004, as most Chevrolet dealerships sold Oldsmobiles. For
model year 2005, both versions featured the 2.5 liter
inline-6, driving the front wheels through an electronically controlled four speed
automatic transmission. The car was positioned as an economical luxury entry, with the LS model equipped with 8 way power seat, 15 inch alloy wheels, 4 wheel disc brakes, air conditioning, cruise control, and CD player. The LT version added traction control, ABS, and sunroof, all also optional for the LS model. Base price was $24,710 (Canadian dollars) for the LS and $27,400 (Canadian dollars) for the LT. In price, it was
Chevrolet's top-of-the-line sedan in Canada, priced between the Malibu and
Impala, but slotted in size between the
Cobalt and
Malibu. Sales of the Epica were slow in Canada, with the Impala and Malibu outselling those two models. The Chevrolet Epica is no longer sold in Canada as of September 2006. For the last year, a single version was sold: the LTZ at $26650. This unique trim level being fully loaded, only options were the side airbags and the Pearl White color. Some colors are unique to 2006: silver and charcoal grey.
United States Insular Areas For a brief time the Chevrolet Epica was also available in the United States territories of
Guam and
Northern Mariana Islands, and like the Canadian version it also carried the same features. Like the Epica in Canada, it was withdrawn from the market too.
Other markets The Daewoo Magnus was sold as Chevrolet Epica in other international markets too, such as
Chile and
China. The Chevrolet Epica sold in the Middle East (GCC) was then replaced by
Chevrolet Malibu, sourced from South Korea (2012–2022).

Daewoo Tosca, the successor to the V200 Daewoo Magnus.
Suzuki Verona The Magnus was also
rebadged as the
Suzuki Verona in the United States and
Chevrolet Epica in other markets, including Canada, China,
Chile, and
Arabia. However,
Suzuki announced it would drop the Verona after the 2006 model year due to low sales. This was likely caused by the fact that the US model only offered a small 2.5 6-cylinder engine and an automatic transmission as compared to other midsize cars offering larger engines and manual transmissions. The Verona was succeeded by the
Suzuki Kizashi in 2010. File:Suzuki Verona .jpg|Suzuki Verona (front view) File:2004 Suzuki Verona, rear 7.7.19.jpg|Suzuki Verona (rear view)
