The car will be based on PSA’s EMP2 vehicle platform, the paper reported, saying the move could be officially announced in the coming days.

Production at Ruesselsheim, where Opel is manufacturing the Insignia model, is currently halted due to the coronavirus pandemic. The next generation of Opel’s Astra model will also be made there.

Asked about the report, an Opel spokesman said in a written response: “We will shortly give detailed information on investments at the Ruesselsheim site and a new vehicle allocation. This is aimed at focusing on vehicle production with a higher volume.”
