Delta is a General Motors compact front-wheel-drive automobile and crossover SUV platform, originally developed by Opel Group. It was a successor to the Opel T platform; it also replaced J platform and the Z platform used by the Saturn S-Series. The platform debuted in the 2003 Saturn Ion. Vehicles of this platform generally carry the letter "A" in the fourth character of their VINs.
Delta generally uses an independent suspension on the front and twist-beam type on the rear. The Ecotec engine is widely used, as are 4- and 6-speed automatic and 5-speed manual transmissions.
