To quote from the Excelle 9BLB thread:
The B-segment JBXX and 9BXX platforms are variants under the VSS-F B/C set, and I believe the JBXX is the lower-cost version. These platforms, along with their C-segment counterparts, also comprise a subset of the GEM platform initiative of General Motors for emerging markets, i.e. mainly China and Latin America. According to previously published information, the next-generation South American Chevrolet Onix hatchback (JBJC1) and Prisma sedan (JBLC1) too would be based on this same JBXX platform. If this Chinese Onix sedan is indeed the JBSC, then note that the corresponding Prisma sedan of South America will have a slightly longer ('L') wheelbase. Estimated SOP for the JBSC is March 2019.
Note that the wheelbase of the Chinese Onix is 2600 mm, which is the same as that of the K216 Cavalier, so the above speculation could all be wrong and this could well be a Cavalier-derivative, nevertheless I am still inclined to believe that this is a VSS-F based car because the Onix is scheduled to be made at Yantai, per MIIT.
Is it too confusing?
This vehicle is probably the one that has been under preparation with the "JBSC" code at Yantai. Previously it was thought the JBSC would be the next Sail (S4), but the latter may be another project, K218, I have heard of being under development (I am not 100% sure).
