The General Motors L platform (commonly called the L-body or L car) was a front-wheel-drive compact car automotive platform that was produced from 1987 through 1996.

The L platform used a twist-beam rear suspension and MacPherson struts in the front and featured a 103.4 in (263 cm) wheelbase.

GM also used a different L platform for the all-wheel-drive versions of the Chevrolet Astro/GMC Safari mid-size vans.

This model featured a unique grill and tail lamps (which were later used on the updated Corsica).

The L-car lasted just one generation, with the nameplates being retired and replaced by the N-body Chevrolet Malibu.
