Taking over from the Opel Corsa Utility in 2011, the PE-built Utility ran 1.4 and 1.8 petrol engines and was often the best-selling half-ton bakkie in the country. Fleets and small businesses bought them in volume and the used market still absorbs them readily. By the end its only direct rival was the Nissan NP200.
